I gotta be honest, that is a real piece of Redneck ingenuity, which I greatly appreicate. Is that Sch. 40 CIP? And no offense if you put it on there; you gotta do what you gotta do. I was assuming the previous owner did...

Nice!

Are you *not* supposed to weld tow/recovery points onto the frame (bolt them instead)? Thought I heard that once....

Plans for the engine?

I didn't take it personal bassinfool. I had a good laugh at the bumper when I first saw it too.

Philbert, I think you are correct about the welding. Unless they are designed for it.

It came with a chevy trans and transfer case so for the time being I will probably put a 350 in it. That way I can enjoy it now.

But I want to put a 4BT cummins in it.
