I'd like to see the tow bar mounts in double shear. I found out the hard way.

Tow bar pics

Ok guys (and gals?) Here are the pics of my tow bar mounted. After these I will upload weld pics that I hope you can see lol.

I made it so Icould lock it and noone could steal my coupler TOO easy lol. I still have to drill holes in my bolts for some pins and mount my safety chains.:icon_welder:

Eh....not my cup of tea. Its fugly as hell IMO. Leaves a lot to the imagination. And those welds look like freakin bubblegum.

I do like that winch tho. What is that?

All of these are done with a 7018 rod set on 150amps on my Lincoln weldan power 225.

remember, all chinese made winches are basically the same... badlands from harbor freight, rugged ridge, gorilla, vipers, whatever... they're all basically the same.

not to sure your welds are gonna hold long. def close the sides of the square tubing. and you only put like 2 half inch welds on the tube of the towing deal? youre gonna lose the whole truck if you hit a good bump while pulling that down the free way, clean up the metal good and lay some nice beads down.

The 2 1/2in welds I think your talking about are only there so someone cant just unbolt the coupler. Ive also got 2 1/2in bolts holding the coupler to the bar.

See.

i would add some triangular gussets to the ears sticking out from the bumper it looks like a turn would almost peel the tongue right off the bumper
reinforceing can never hurt
