Re: The Pig Rig!

I snagged this bad boy pretty cheap, it's a mile marker SI12000, rated to 12000 pounds of line pull.



I don't like it sitting this high in the grill, or this high above the frame rail.



I made a piece of channel to mount it in out of some of the box steel I have.



then I drilled and notched it for the fairlead



here's the assembly on the bumper



next step was to cut a notch. the plasma cutter made short work of it.





initially, the tray overhung the front of the bumper by a large margin, so I notched the frame a bit so I could recess it some.



hard to tell by the pictures, but it made a big difference.



then I test fit the whole thing.







I also started trying to drive it as much as possible, to work out any little problems while I'm still close to home.





I pulled the whole bumper back off, added some angle stubs to the ends to contour the truck a little better, and capped off the ends of the tubes. I also capped off the fairlead mount, and added a gusset. can't forget the custom paint either!
