The pic is a design I came up with using C-channel, angle, and plate. The winchbox would have the c-channel in the front and 3x3x3/8 angle on 3 sides. The bottom of the winchbox would be 1/4" plate with 3 sides overlapping the 3" angle. I'd add a 1" hole somewhere(dead center?) in the winchbox...
I've been contemplating fabricating heavy bumpers for CUCVs. I don't have a CUCV but I have access to a bumper off of a 1988 k5 blazer and intermittent access to that truck for measurements. If I make the bumpers to fit this k5 will they also fit the CUCV? My research says yes, but I want to be...
How thick is the plate used for the main portion of the bumper? 1/4" seem about right? Schedule 40 pipe for the center of the brushguard?
I contemplate placing m939 shackle mounts and shackles positioned similar to where they are on the 5ton...
I do this also, in all my vehicles. I've never been able to figure out why it isn't just standard procedure to read them cold, with a corresponding cold marking....

Thing is, if you lock the brakes the torque converter can't release fast enough to prevent you from killing the engine. At that point you lose the power steering and the steering wheel is (frequently tly) jerked from your hand, resulting in high likelihood of a rollover.
Releasing the air brakes is as simple as caging them.
Without air lines from the towing vehicle the towed vehicle then has no brakes. It *will* push the towing vehicle around. Optimally you want the towing vehicle to be much heavier than the towed vehicle, as this offsets the tendency to be...
