agreed, problem is that otherwise careful people ( those who will carefully go over their truck cleaning and fixing all the dings and damage after a trip) will develop a huge blind spot when it comes to a winch, whether this is caused by lack of understanding or assumption that they are...

ok, so far looking good.

8274 has an 8000lb capacity. and I've had winch-it winches including a 12000lber, and ( and stand by for the hate) they both let me down when needed. buy a second hand quality make :-warn/goldfish/etc, not a cheap one, because after a couple of winters as a bumper ornament it will let you down...

doors arnt structural, and only driver needs a seat

not alone there, my welding is structural but not cosmetic - dont do enough these days to keeps the skill level up,

I put one of Gwyn's on the back of my 110, its just better, no ifs or buts, built like a brick outhouse and solid as a rock. dear, oh boy yes, but you get what you pay for.

fuel light, what is this fuel light you speak of?

:D:D:D:D:D a trip to YRM is in your future

and dont be to disheartened by your first few goes, it does take practice, the more you do the better you get. the key to good welding is preparation; you cant weld rust, so grind it off, if the metal left is to thin, dont bother with it, cut back until you've got enough, lets face it, tissue...

and there my friend, is the nail on the head.

very neat, sir, very neat indeed.

if he carries on building a whole truck from 5mm plate it'll have its own gravitational pull, christ it'll become a black hole.

nice outing
