Looks cool I might copy it on the side of my rack. Maybe welding larger ears on the butterfly nuts would make it easier to get off. But a great lo budget alternative. Some off us dont got 100 bucks to mount a shovel on r jeeps.

Default It cost 40 bucks to make

I found the rails at the junk yard for 15.99 and then the rest of the stuff came from tractor supply. so all in all its a relatively cheap mod.
