well after i built my front tow hooks crossmember and added the reciver to it. i wanted to make another unique thing to put in it.

ive got my hook i made. and ive used a few times. mostley slam it on all the pot holes here this damn state.






heres my new creation. i used a bigrig leaf spring U bolt. shortend up a bit and bent to fit the 2" square stock. all welded with SMAW 7018 around 120amps. no its not plated up. that all solid welds. spent 4 hours welding it. and 6 hurs grinding it with a flap disk 60grit wheel to what it is now. also the end is capped with a 1/4" steel square i cut for looks. it has hole drilled so it can me mounted flat or vertical. and makes a good step.

 

looking good....

wheres mine?

 

looks uhhhhh, quite strong!

 

wow. Holy welding wire batman. You must have went through so much wire for that thing.

 

youll bend your frame long before you break that thing

 

SMAW......sheilded metal arc welding. stick electrodes. old skol and dirty. i dont cry about chipping slag.

yup.....to bad my dads 05 2 axel peterbilt truck dont have a 2" reciver. id make one up and try and break it.

 

wire wheel on a small angle grinder FTW!!!

 

Great minds think alike, I was too lazy to go take a pic of mine so I found a video still where I had it in. Exact same thing just not welded as much as yours haha and they do make a great step.

 

jesus those are beefy!
