Beautiful job Ken-that is a bumper to be proud of, who cares how much it cost, you did it. Congrats.

I aspire to that level of fab prowess.

I can't wait to see it in person.

I dont know about fab prowess.
Its more like how much abuse is a guy willing to endure from the wife.


I look forward to showing it.

How is the reese reinforced to the frame? I see the bar in front of the bumper but where does it attach?

I see bolts that hold the spare tire carrier (nice versatility feature BTW), is the swing arm robust enough for support consistent vibrating weight of the tire?

Good work, nice corners, nice features.

Im not sure what you meen by "reese".
If you are refering to the factory reciever, its gone.
As well is the X-member .
The bar I think your looking at is part of the new bumper.

The swing outs are almost exactly like 4x4 labs (very strong)
What cant be seen is the bolt holes in the swing arms are not just drilled through
They get over sized and a sleeve gets welded in.

If that made any sense?

BTW, I almost spit out my beer when I read the guard cat post...I didnt even notice that till it was mentioned!

It would have been better if it were made out of sch 40 pipe though!!!

Thanks!
