Save a few more dollars and buy a WARN. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

Been there, done that.

I'll have to look into I was on the fence whether it was worth saving a penny and getting one sooner or waiting and get one that lasts for ever or pretty close to that

Got the center section tacked in last night pumped on how it looks so far! Here is way I have for measurements at the moment my frame tie in plates are 23"L x 6" W the center section is 2 pieces of 2x6x3/16" wall tubing cut at 32 3/4" it fits tight little rubber mallet worked good

This front piece I measured at 3" in at the top and 7" at the bottom with 2" width at the bottom to match the piece of 2x6 laying flat then just used a straight edge for my lines then I cut and used the scrap from that to box it back in

I'll be building my corner pieces today

Lookin' good. I'm going to be building a front winch bumper this winter. I like your design, looks fairly simple. How much do you reckon yours weighs?

He needs to chop it about 6 inches. That thing is tall enough to make a completely separate rack.
