I know what you mean, but I meant to mount it further under so it doesn't stick out of the back so much.

Yeh, I guess I have a thing about adding weight. I like your concept, but I would want some fender protection. I've been hit twice in parking lots by women in Excursions. One lady hit me after looking right at me through her mirror. Started heading my way, I yelled, she hit the gas instead of the brake. Paid for a three day fishing trip to the shore!

That'd be good for a mock up, but it'd get torn to **** if anything touched it

Can't wait!

Well here's some progress pics! Here it is all finished welded and in bare steal. The D ring shackle mounts were a pain to build because I had to weld 2 pieces of 1/4 inch steal together to get the thickness I wanted. Next time I'll wait and buy some 1/2 inch thick steal! Lol
