Thanks man! I like to custom fab my things rather than just buy them. Also I think I posted this in the wrong thread so I reposted it in the newbies thread haha

That's a sweet pushbar! Is there a reason you didn't go wider? Like personal preference or did it have to do with mounting points.

Personal preference as well as many other reasons. The mounting points worked out great for the 2foot width and the square bar on the bottom was free because it was scrap at the steel mill, it just so happened it was 2 feet long and worked perfect. I wanted it to line up with the inside of the plastic jet outs there on the bumper. its pretty beefy haha about 75lbs all said and done

Oh I see.. I'm gonna be making myself a pushbar pretty soon. I think that I'll mount it by where the tow hooks would be though, so It doesn't drag on anything. But now I have inspiration. Thanks
