Bull Run ride

[GlockMeister]

I do too. Think it's gonna be my favorite. Especially with a winch on it. With 4" taken out, should look like it's made for it. @GlockMeister I sure hope you got more of those bumpers. Might be some interest in them lol

I got a couple... that was the straightest one . Gonna see how yours comes out..may be building my own

With a rear mount winch you could make a sling like a wrecker. Would have to brace the heck out of your bumper but I think I could be made to work.

Overlook the crudeness but this was kinda my idea with the A-frame. The bottom secured to bumper and swivels. Top is supported by cables or some thick sling material that I already have. Then mount a block at top of frame for winch cable to run through. When you put pressure on Derek's front bumper (sorry man I had to lol), it will pull out on top of frame and slings will support the weight. My bumper should be sticking out far enough for front tires of Don's rig (snicker) to rest on bumper. And off we go!!!

Did you see the pic I posted of the wrecker sling post# 2690

Warmed the old girl up to normal temps and it ran fine. No smoke but still has that smell. Honestly I'm thinking it may be the horse poop lol. Seriously. I think at first it arc'd from the water intrusion. Then after me blowing it off with leaf blower it was fine mechanically. The rest of the smoke and smell was horse manure. Cause believe me there was alot in there lol. Anyways, I'm still mad at it. I give her the best maint possible. And this is how I'm treated? We gonna settle this on some rocks or a hill. Really really steep hill.

Yessir I did but don't understand how it works. Can you break it down so a simpleton like me can understand? Btw I wasn't ignoring the pic nor the suggestion. I always keep an open mind and welcome suggestions (even in the form of Don's criticism lol).

You gonna have to find me one also.

That hill was gnawing at me as well for a couple weeks. I finally got it out of my system. When you get a free day during the week, holler at me. Hopefully Derek can get off too. We will go jump on it off limits or not. When does deer season end?

You set a day and I can see if I can work around my work schedule, should be able to, I would love to conquer that hill or die trying!!!!!

I know bud.... works basically like what you have drawn up . Give me a second I'll draw it up. I'm terrible at explaining things

Man I'm good from Mon thru Thurs. Just depends on y'all. Whenever you or Joey can go. I been wanting to beat on mine a little for that electrical problem. And that's the perfect opportunity lol

Me either! That's why I resort to 1st grade level drawings lol

I think one from a 2nd gen S10 would look awesome. Only they have the triangle shaped plastic pieces on the ends that'd be hard to match up. Y'all Google some rear bumpers and find crap you like. I can make almost anything work

Here's my 1st grade rendition

 

[GlockMeister]

T-bar with sling attached goes up against the bumper. There are hooks welded on the end of the T-bar ,run chain around a arms on vehicle in tow ,chain hooks to T-bar, rubber belting cradles front of vehicle ,winch up, cable runs through pulley/snatch block attached to roll bar. Vehicle I'm tow raises.
Clear as mud

Okay I kinda sorta get it. Sounds like the 2 are very similar. Next chance you get see how the sling works up against your pioneer frontend. We got plenty of time to figure something out. At least until Derek gets off work to ride again lmao. It'd be peace of mind knowing we have a de sent way to get people out of the woods. That way the wild people can get even wilder lol.

 

[Delton]

Actually we don't have plenty of time....cause this idea is growing on my brain like a friggin cancer lol. I know me. And it's just gonna grow and grow until I do something about it lol. Wish I had another pioneer to use for a model. I do have an old John Deere 4wheeler (Can Ain't made). Guess the principle is still the same.

I know what you mean... it's got me racking my brain now too. I'll try and get something mocked up and take some pics.
