So what do you think.

I had some spare time on my hands last week end, and was tired of putting the tow bar in the truck everytime- and figured it was time get creative with a fuctional and secured tow bar holder that would still work with my winch, and this is what I came up with.

I like it. do you have any pics of the mounts w/o the tow bar in them?

 

[lavarok]

Do you plan on making some? I'd be interested!

Your work looks real good..... but for the life of me I can't see how the mount works! Please post some pics of your mounting system sans tow hook, please!

Thanks!

two mounts where the front shackles are, uses the shackle pin and retainer to secure it. we just used to leave it pre mounted like that over in the sand box. when a truck broke down, and one always did, the truck would jump up to down truck, unpin and throw it on the other truck. alot easier and faster than pulling it out of the bed.

Looks like the mounting points are on the winch chain guards. So the whole system is bolted w/just the two bolts on the winch?

Look's good.

Looks very professional! It fits so well that you almost don't see it with the bar mounted. Good idea!

Someone else here did that too a while ago. Here's my stowage.

Good work, but does it block the head lights in any way, like casting a shadow right in front of the truck the way the TB is stacked?

Deuces are nose heavy and if running 900X20 tires, are close to the tire capacity. That is the only concern that I would have. The mounting system looks great. I t it keep mine like Will does his. Will, does your towbar have the MWO on it? I can't get mine in like that, have to pull the male piece out of the lunette leg to get it up there.

As a general rule I try not to drive my MVs after sunset, for safety reasons besides that when driving these 40 plus year trucks- any advantage driving during day has to help. I try to enjoy the ride and kick back and enjoy life, and the answer to your question is yes there is a lower light blockage due to the tow bars, my next project is to mount them a little different, rotate the bracket
90 degrees to keep the blockage down to a minimum. I guess you have to start some where- put it together, stand back and admire it and then figure out how to improve on it be for the paint drys.
