    I thought about a 110V converter with an outlet on the front. I have thought about doing that. Which is in part why
    I asked about another battery in another thread

    I finally had a chance to test this portion structurally.

    My brother-in-law hooked up a 6" wide recovery strap between each point individually and his Caterpillar and pulled my rig around as dead weight. I think this will hold up well on the trail

    I have blueprints made up for the mating skid plate so that should be done soon. I'm actually ahead of schedule!

    I would love to know the cost once you are done also. Not that I have the welding skills to do as much of my own work as you are, but I am curious how it stacks up to a major maker's bumper.

    Front receiver helping move an 8.5x20 enclosed trailer (loaded, about 6500lbs total) into the barn for the winter. The door opening is only 9 feet wide; I had 3" on each side to move through!
