looks like a pro at work!

that winch fab,,are the pieces imported from "backbone" (think its called) USA?
then you welded together?..or is it made here?

made up my own winch mount for Scout II using scrap, saved my ass a few times, and got much use, but the Jeep has thin metal at the front, so gotta do it right

Bar is designed by me and a friend draws it in cad and gets it cut out

Then i assemble.

Towed it outside today to start on the roof and the rope broke
Stopped just before it hit my toolbox

WOW RB!
I thought about moving my green one on because of some rust issues on the roof.
My work to fix is nothing compared to you mate.
Good work. Well done.

Picked up some primer and body filler etc etc for the roof



This should clear out the surface rust rather quickly

Small sandblaster
The blasting media (sand,glass,soda) goes in the red part
The bag catches most of the media if you have the Rubber nozzle against the work area

Works rather well
