Its difficult holding everything in place using axle stands on up turned buckets

[billious]

aaron not being an arse here,but to me that winch mount doesnt seem to look strong enough.yes its bolted to the front x member but where is the front of the mount bolted too.?is it bolted to the A bar?in my opinion it will bend first time you use it in anger.but thats just my opinion.good effort though.

billious,looks like someone got their bend centres wrong.looking good though.

The welds near end are "weld on " pipe elbows. They give a much tighter bending radius than a pipe bender. Done a bit more nearly finished now. Also going to pick my ARB locker up tomorrow
