They tuck 33's nicely and i can drop the tbars all the way down and still have a full range of steering without tearing up my fenders.

And best of all they were free. Why spend 300-500 bucks on some h2's when these work just as good. I didnt like the silver color that was on them so i painted them, spray bomb style. Actually turned out nice:D

I was just ribbing you on the wheels. FREEBIES are always the best!!! plus the dodge wheels are pretty sharp wheels really. I really like the high-polished ones that look chromed. They are dead sexy!

Wow Travis, that doesn't look like the same truck. So, what kind of rims are they???? :D

Mike , they are stock wheels off a 03 dodge 2500, that were originally polished alloy and silver painted. I bead blasted them and painted them with black paint and a clear coat on top. seem to be holding up.

Is that also Cat yellow Paint?

Yes simon that is cat yellow paint, I have an endless supply of it at work and man is that paint stout. I painted the weight bracket and all my weights with the paint and it has yet to chip off yet, and I think it looks cool too.

Looks Great, B & B would be proud to have a new member ;) I like the bar even though I've changed mine already :D

Todd i built that bar soon after you got done posting pics of yours. If i could do it over i would have made the mounting place for the weights alot higher. Depending on what weight scale is at the pulls i have to back up on it because the weights hang too low. I have hung close to 1500lbs off the front and have not had a problem yet. Very good design IMHO


Thanks for all the compliments guys

One question on the weight bar (off topic agian, I know!). If you were to do it agian would you also allow it to go further to the outside of the vehicle? I've seen some trucks lately (grayarea especially) that have more weight on the Drivers side to keep the twist/wheel down. Do you get along OK the way it is or do you wish you could hang more to one side or the other?

Jason i am not running near as much power as Cory but when i do hang weight i hang it all as far on the driver side as i can. I have never had a real problem with the truck lifting to one side too much. I will make the next one taller and maybe a but longer so i can hit the 60" mark from the front diff, so i can have the weight as far forward as possible and have the most advantage

I have several videos that show it but i cant figure out how to get them off my camera and on to my comp.
