Blue01: Yup, you got a good point there... dem bolts arn't much when you stick a 12k lb winch on the front, and get a 10k lb truck stuck in a ditch next winter...
I was thinking of extra tie ins to the frame when I armor the front of my truck. I need to build a winch bumper for the front of my K-30, I'll end up with about 6 - 1/2" grade 8 bolts with flats and lock washers, from bumper to frame ON EACH SIDE.... the bumper on the K-5 Blazer helps brace the notoriously weak chevy frame around the steering box, the one for the K-30 will do the same.
The bumper for the F350 might get farmed out to a friend, he's made one for his truck, and I like it, need to go over details like this with him though...
Gonna have to get some of thoes headlights... can't say it enough... I really like 'em.
