    Dustin's new winch mount

    I didn't get to finish my mount but Dustin made good use of the winch channel I had gotten, here is his new winch setup:

    No grinding to smooth out those cuts?

    What tires does he have again? I'm sure I've asked before but can't remember...

    Is that made from an old heavy truck frame or something?

    Dude, those welds look as bad as mine!!! LMAO. I may have to revisit this bumper thing for a third gen. This time out of plate instead of tubing. Now that winter is coming, working outside will be a bit more tolerable.
    Looks pretty good and sturdy. Did he bolt the center support to the frame, or does it just rest there as a weight distribution point?

    It's bolted to the frame, he welded it up using his mini mig but it's real sturdy, he's really tested it already lol. I didn't see it when he was completely finished so not sure if he went over all the welds again but I know it's strong. Here are my welds using a Miller Pro Mig:

    He must be teaching a class right now, otherwise I'm pretty sure he'd have replied by now.

    Wait for it, wait for it.
