Topic: Valentin's Unnamed Rig

[knightrider]

I wouldn't use them until you tie into the lower bolts.  Joe had good suggestions to contact the yard and shtick to see if you can get the proper brackets.  Yours are fine as long as you don't pull on the bumper.

Appreciate it. If you have a chance can you send me a better pic how they look
Maybe even a measurement. I'm sure that I'm going to fabricate myself as the wreck yard is 2 hours north don't really wana go just for brackets. Specially if I can make them with flat bar laying around the house

I tried to take a pic , but my Rad skid is in the way

 I can fix that issue for you.......    ..........

I'm just gonna do this which I measured at 7by 2.5. And that's pushing it to the base of the other bracket we made. Hopefully gets the approval as I don't want all this hard work to go to waste trying to help someone just to pull off my own bumper

Cause off the pic I just see it bracing the bottoms so it doesn't over exert and bend the bottom to loosen the whole thing and break off.

The bottom holes are what take most of the force, the front holes if stressed will pull away from the frame horns as the front holes were designed to only take impacts from a crash, the bottom holes are where the tow hook mounts and are designed to take pulling loads.

This will be my Monday project!!

[valentin36]

So let's see if I get the approval
Final look
Second pic is what I started
Last is end result
Copied to the best of my ability think it came out good. Kept it as close as possible. Small gap
Ended up being Tuesdays project

[knightrider]

How is the bottom plate connected to the front plate?

[valentin36]

It's not?
Was it suppose to be? I went off this pic since no one could provide a pic

[Jayrat]

It's one piece, it is connected together on the  Front, Inside, and Bottom all welded together . it hugs the Frame of the truck.
Hard to explain ,I'll try and take a picture , but , the skid uses the same bottom bolts , and kind of hides the Bracket

[valentin36]

So what is this one piece I keep on posting?
Guess I will be contacting shrockworks or the wreckyard. This will do for now unless I can weld it together.

It needs to be one piece or connected somehow.  It'll do you no good if the bottom bracket is not connected to the frame-horn bracket.

You can kind of see what I'm talking about in this pic.

Hmmmm interesting cause I was talking to Mark from Shrockworks  and he told me their brackets were two separate pieces? Now I'm confused

[Jayrat]

I have Hefty Fab ,so does  Knightrider and I think Rick is also .
 so it could be different??
