Winch mount in the works

I used 2" .125 DOM tubing for all except for the two braces on the hoop which is 1" .125 DOM tubing. The hoop is mainly for looks but is a great strapping point in a tight spot or hood deep in water and mud ;)

Here is a shot with the winch and some new scratches :)

Dude that looks way nice. When are you going to do my bumper? :)
 






How much did all the materials to make it run you? How many feet did you have to have of it all?
 






I spent about 75.00 for 20' of the 2" dom. and like 10.00 for 3' of the 1" dom.
 






Ill take one..... Where do I order? :)
 






This one is for sale around the end of May ;)
 






Here are some pics of mine.

Thought about it, but lazyness won out ;) Besides, those are just some cheapy street tires :D
 






Are you really going to sell it? If so I got dibs... How much you looking to get for it?
 






I am not sure yet ;) I am thinking of joining the dark side and returning the X to mostly stock form. I would then take all the parts from the X and put them on a jeep YJ :) Don't worry if I do it I will let you know :D
 












Yes a stinger like that can actually keep the truck from going end over end if you come down a very steep drop or nose down for whatever reason.
I know of a K5 Blazer where the stinger may have saved the truck from complete and total anhialation, put it back on all 4's instead of going over on the roof.
 






I was going to say it looks more like those tires were on with the old TTB setup :)
Every lifted TTB I see has + camber.
And then its funny when everyone goes solid axle and bolts on their old meats you can see the outer edge is toasted. :)
 






id also be interested in a bumper like that, if you will make a few more for sale
 






could protect the engine and radiator in a roll. that and an attachment point for a rope for a spotter in competition was where the idea of the stinger came from as far as i know.
