Excellent! I would like to see how is it attached to the frame... any pics?

 

nice work man

 

Worked on it a bit just capped the open spots where the metal didnt meet. and got some measurements of where i want the tire and stuff. I havnt been able to take pix of how it is welded to the frame because i dont feel like taking the bumper off. But the next time i work on it i have to so i can make a stop and a place for the latch catch to mount on. Here are some pix...

 

Thats Awesome. thats what I need I will bring you my rig! lol can you make the attachment point to the frame a bolt on if so i would by one from you!!

 

Going to use a latch like this from mcmaster.com

looks great! any updates on this, as well as a pic of where the hing mounts to the frame/bumper. probably going to be doing this soon as well. Also i looked at Pattons webpage and i have to say, it kind of sucks. the pictures are crapy and no discreptions. Could you direct me to the correct hinge?

Thanks!!!

Looking very nice so far.

 

Great job on the fabrication. I like the integration into the factory bumper quite a bit.

One thing to keep in mind... those trailer spindles fracture and fail. I've broken 3. 2 from the fatigue of the tire bouncing a little and one from backing into a tree. As it turns out the tree one had been failing for some time, as there was rusting witness marks in the fracture.

A third point of contact will eliminate any movement at all and insure that the spindle doesn't fail.

very nice looking work, keep it up, you may be able to sell this off also for guys that dont want the bumper upgrade but the carrier option,

damn i gotta learn to weld,
