If you got yourself a press you could name it "Orange Crush"...

You'd even have a logo!

You should have Adam make you a fancy sign...
 
Got some chuckles out of the last few pages... :haha:

Do you have a tranny yet?

And @LNielson, the simulations are really neat. What was the software you used?

Thanks, It is very cool stuff. That software is the Solidworks Simulation Package. I am an engineer by day. We do a lot of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for people. The models I made/analyzed for those winch mounts were way simplified, but I use it a lot like that to get a gut check on stuff just to see if things are in the ballpark structurally. I'm going to do a few more different ones and post them up, just haven't had time.

We use a program called Nastran that we use for serious analysis, but it takes a bit of time to set stuff up correctly and run it. also costs about $50K per license :yikes: and no I don't have my own seat of it.

Cool. I'm an M.E. by training, but have gotten stuck on the manufacturing side of things. :rolleyes: :crazy:

Someday I am going to get back into a spot where I need FEA in my daily life... :thinking:

:popcorn:
 
Small world sometimes...

Now back to the Orange Tranny talk, it's way more entertaining.
