Where would it mount chassis?

Tow hook holes plus the front crossmember with 7/16" grade 8 bolts with a backing plate. It won't come off.

Here it is in position. Again the pink color is just so you guys can see it better.

Again I won't be able to start these for another couple months while i finish bumper orders.
Weight should be about 35-40 lbs.

I will sell the first five for $200 plus shipping. After that they will likely go up in price.
Please only put yourself down if you are seriously interested. When I'm ready I will go through the list and send pm's to everyone who wants one and give a shipped price after you give me your zip code.

Looks great Atthehelm.
My only concern would be how it effects the cooling system. In particular the P/S cooler.
Which brings me to my questions How about a vented front plate instead of solid? How would that effect the strength as a unit?

Good point. I want to get one built and test it first. There is still some airflow coming in around it and from below the bumper. I have considered adding two holes and welding in round tube as air vents.

I doubt it would rly weaken it too much. It is almost a 1/2" crossmember of plate steel. A few holes for air should be fine.I would guess it could handle 5k lbs no problem. I'm interested to see how it comes out.

Atthehelm - since I am not getting the front receiver, I was wondering if you might be able to fab up a dune flag mount in its place? The dune flags at Silver Lake have a half inch metal stud on the end so it would really just need to be a simple bracket welded on next to the passenger side shackle mount. Let me know what you think

Edit: The bracket would just need to fit the quick release shown on this website http://www.sandwizard.net/

Looks like you just need a tab with a 1/2" hole in it. Yeah I can do that. I'll pm you later when i start building them.
