    NH MV Titling: wish me luck :(

    And the relevance for the OP is that he should put eyes on his frame and see if it has a stamp. If stamped, he should make sure it matches the dash data plate.

    What do you build?

    Oh, and I recently completed a chain box for a buddy. 3/16" steel plate, welded with 1/8" 6010, and some 3/32" 7018 here and there... Cut it out with the plasma cutter, folded it on the edge of the table with a sledgehammer, and welded it using my buddy's Bobcat.

    What do you build?

    That bumper looks massive! Does it alter your trucks handling? How about approach angle?

    What do you build?

    I own a Millermatic200, which will do MIG. I've used a Miller 251 and a Miller 350P. I've tested out in structural GMAW in flat and vertical. MIG is easier than stick. It's like a hot glue gun that squirts steel instead of glue. It's clean and fast and makes pretty welds. I have nothing...

    Redtruck got a new rear bumper. 4" schedule 40 pipe and 1 / 2 " steel plate. 939series 5ton shackles, a 15ton pintle over the 2" receiver. Everything is welded in 3 passes - 6010, 7018, 7018. I designed this one to tow M1082's level...

    Consider duals for reliability. 5 spares beats one.

    My item is in a secret location! NOT HAPPY

    I went through the same thing with a welder. I had won it and paid for it and IP didn't show the payment and wouldn't tell me the address. I lost my shipping quote.

    Won Another M1101

    It'll be fine behind a stock M1009. It'll tow nose down, but no big deal...

    Torque multiplier....I won't leave home without it.

    AZMitch and I tried this method, with a cheater pipe and both of us standing on it. All we managed to do was break the GI lugwrench.... I'm a fan of the USGI geared lug wrenches.

    tow bar info needed

    1" feet for a medium towbar should be $100-$120 complete. (I don't have any to sell, sorry) The medium towbar is rated for 39k. Attempting to back while using them may snap them and badness will ensue. Use safety chains, airlines, and towlights. (I do have the tow light assemblies, but no...

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]650136[/ATTACH ]Drew, you're a bad influence. As a direct result of seeing you successfully tow one with a CUCV, I decided to do a 500 mile recovery using my pickup truck.... Uneventful
