Its built out of 2x4 rectangle box. its only 1/8th wall wanted to go heavyer but this is what i had and with a little extra reinforcing it will hold up just fine. I welded a cross member into the frame rails and spuared it all up and built off that. Its all welded solid so the water will not get into it. The only thing i would change is were the fairlead mounts i had to cut into the tube 1/4" to let the winch plate sit flat.
Next i will try my hand a a rear bumper/tire carrier/hi lift mount i will post pics when its done.
Thanks for all the great comments. off to work /forums/images/graemlins/hack.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grind.gif /forums/images/graemlins/weld.gif
