This widowmaker has been blocking vehicle access on this side of the Preserve for 3yrs. I finally had enough certified help today that it was time to remove it. I used my Motomoric 30'x3" recovery strap and D shackle hitch receiver. The road was steep, wet and muddy so I was trying to keep from tearing up the road. 4Wh Lo and steady throttle application made it all work despite the back end rising up as I pulled.

Well .... my rig and I continued to bond ever so greatly as I continue the process of cutting , soldering , and testing his new nervous system , messed with his new fuel delivery and visual outputs as I also wire in the Holley sniper and Dakota gauges

Removed the old bumper so we could tack up this kit from coastal offroad in delta,bc. It went together so nicely. Price was great for a great product if you dont mind a little diy.View attachment 81927 View attachment 81926
Looks great! Are you going to do a write up on the install? Been looking hard at North West Trail innovations, and Coastal Off-road for their diy kits. But I don’t know how to weld yet [emoji23]

Any write up would just be the same as the instructions. I can post some more pics of the progress if you want. I can't weld either, but i have friends who weld professionally and jumped at the chance to work with new and clean steel. What kind of truck are you putting a bumper on?

Yep I'd love to see more pics of the progress. I'm looking at doing a dual swingout rear bumper for my 4th Gen 4runner, probably next year. I'm probably going to just look at it as a reason to learn how to weld. Been on my list of stuff to try out for a long time. So hopefully by the end of this year I'll be able to acquire a cheap welder and start playing with it. That's the plan anyways.
