Try to hold it in pace while you fabricate the mounting brackets.

(I used an air powered vehicle lift.)

wow ...... wish i could just throw together a tow rig from the parts i had around here, sometimes it seems as if there is enough. but one ? The wife wouldnt let you buy a new tow rig but you could buy an old truck, an old frame, rebuild some axles, new springs, .........

but im diggin the results, looks sweet and definately oughta get the job done.

I'm ashamed to say that I had most of the stuff already. I have been accumulating parts for a number of years to do this. A few of the obsticles I did not plan for so new parts had to be bought.

I'm looking for the plate that goes between the output shafts for the NP205 T-case. That is what is holding everything up right now. It requires the "L" shaped plate and not the flat straight plate.

I found the bracket I needed today and "borrowed" it from a buddies rig.

I also registered it and ordered a personlized license plate.

USFS Bed off of the Vista Grand Hotshots Superintendents truck of Crew 51 in District 5. It was a few years old thought.
