I can provide all the measurements to save you a lot of time, trial and error. I'm not a fabricator nor is this kind of stuff a business for me.
All that said, I'm willing to duplicate it for someone. There are two catches.
First, it does require welding on the chassis to access the inside of the boxed frame to insert the backing plate and nuts. I don't see any way around it. See picture of corner that must be removed and re-welded. It's no big deal but has to be done.
Second, the center brace was fabricated on the vehicle to match the supports with the weight of the tire in place. I don't believe that's a show stopper but would have to test a theory to be sure.
If anyone is really serious and wants to be a test case, just PM me. We can see if I can do it for a price that's reasonable.
Thanks again for all the positive feedback. I really appreciate it.
Stay tuned for the winch mount...
Chris
