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? Bob |

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. Bob |
