Rear 1/4 chop (1 Viewer)

[chicago]

I'd don't see a 2" receiver in the not-so-crude drawing.

Ill be keeping the factory one...
It mounts to the bottom of the frame rail and is not a part of the bumper...
Its saved my ass numerous times already, so I figure ill keep it where it is.
OOOOOR, Ill be putting it in the center of the bumper if I dont like the way it all looks together.
Feng Shwei is the key!

I would tie it into the bumper. The receiver hitch is the now going to be the lowest point, especially with the cut 1/4's. We have all seen your work and if that rear bumper drags a bit, i think it will be alright

Thanks for the vote of confidence "D"! Ill see how it all works out as Im going!
There is gonna be a fair amount of head scratching, beer drinking, measurement taking and swaring going on.
I have an 8ft piece of 2x4 tubing that Id really like to use, so Im gonna look at that option as well primarily because its FREE! It would be the simpleist route to go, but....Im not one to do something for the sake of simplicity.

I post up the details as I go along!

Thanks for the offer Rusty!
However, Mrs. Chicago informed me that we are to be having a B day party here in the early afternoon for her grandfather.
So, for the AM, Ill be in the garage either working on the bumper (if I have the spindels), or, de wooding the DS, or doing frame clean up for paint.
What started as a simple little 1/4 chop project sure is taking a LOT of TIME!

Maybe next time!
