thats pretty cool! Just make sure you tie/strap/secure that down pretty good when your driving/wheeling. It would suck for that thing to get loose if you get into a accident of a rollover and it ends up wacking ya.

I would think youd keep that inside the cab untill you need it then pull it out and work with it? Am i correct?

yes, it would be kept inside the vehicle, hence keeping it very well secured so it wont become a hazard.

Nice work. Looks like it's pretty well mounted and could prove very useful

Lol you serious?

That thing looks bad a@# even if it was never used. Biggest reason id get it is because it looks so awesome.
