You forgot to carry the 3
Sorry, 7018....
Close. The area of a 3/8" diameter bolt is (3/16)^2 * PI = 0.110 in^2.
288,000 * 0.110 = 31,800 pounds of force required to shear all 4 bolts (8000 pounds apiece). If shearing the bolts is what he's worried about.
I'm sure it's fine but another bolt for good measure won't hurt.
If it is simple fix I'll do it, if it requires more I'll probably put it off.

I like that answer better than mine.
Couldn't do that also but bolting sounds much better.
Plan is tomorrow to get the rear diff back together, Friday reseal the tcase and put it in. Saturday I have to work so I hope to put the new oil psi sender in and hopefully start on the front tow hooks.
Sunday is still up in the air. I might work on the boat all day or the truck depends on what my brother is doing.

I do have the factory hooks, but I have a winch plate that wraps around the frame.
Going to slide the tow hook mount through it, bolt it to the frame and weld it to the winch plate and have it sticking out through the bumper and have the shackle for easy access. If I can, a hidden receiver will go in between the tow hooks and eventually receive a winch.

Pretty sure Babs declined that already. 3 bolts per side is good.
I'm terrible at math so I won't get into that conversation.
Good thing I closed the garage and went inside. My back yard has a lake.

Dang it... Welding is neat
Rained that much?
It's our storm season, some parts the highways flooded last week.
I never really pictured that area getting much rain?
We get what they call micro bursts, in less then 15 hours it's dry anyway.
