I am calling it the Emancipator.

Aiming for a stubby style, a winch mount style, and the full Monty.





I think I had more fun drawing it (spec'd to fit) then I will have making it lol!! It should all come from a single sheet, folded and then welded.

So do I lol!!

I may engineer in some tow points.

Any of the frontal holes may be used as high lift points as they will be dimpled.

I am currently designing something else for use with aftermarket wheels, to be used as high lift points.

Sir, don't want to be indelicate, or seem opportunistic, but do you consider this an intellectual property with value, or would you share specifications with an old hillbilly fabricator for a personal use one-of?

Hello Bob.

That truly is a difficult question.

In one sense I am designing something to be sold to a general market. In another sense, I offer custom products, one offs etc.

The answer to your question I guess would be yes, but no?

I need to take the concept to physical design and work out bugs before I waste anybody's time.

What I can do at that point, is farm out a CNC shop near you (under a privacy agreement of course) to cut you up the pieces required and I suppose from there you can weld it up yourself. This will save your duties and shipping.

Further to that, I can quite easily make any modification to the unit's designs to suit your specific needs. (Extra gusses, plow mounts, receiver hitches etc)

I don't want to leave you out in the cold, but again, this is a difficult question.

Ryan

Generous enough offer, but I thought if you had parts and dimensions I might whack em out with a torch. Probably neither of us would be overly happy with the results though, after giving it some thought.

Thank you.
