Dang Keith, I didn't realize you were combining front impact protection, roll-over protection and a radiator mount all into one...

Looking good, now let's see the fenders come together.

You isolate the aluminum radiator from all of that steel?

Yap!
Rubber pads at the top and bottom between the "caps".....thought I mentioned that though.
Need two more at the frame/ down brackets as pointed out in the 40 section for frame flex.
See anything else I might need to do?

LOL!
maybe a bit excessive, but most of it was to make it nice and stable both vertically and laterally. Also...using what material I had laying around the shop.

Very nice, looking forward to hearing what you think about the fenders

I suspect that galvanic corrosion due to dissimilar metals isn't as big a deal as it is made out to be. In this case, no electron flow to speak of and the absence of an electrolyte, it shouldn't be a large deal. It might be a problem if he lived in San Francisco.

Plus...coating the mount with bed liner will help that too.

Galvanic corrosion is not what I was concerned with. The mount rubbing a hole in his radiator is

I would say no matter what if you flip that sucker on its lid or on its side that radiator is not going anywhere.
