That's a bolt-on mounting bracket for an air or hydraulic cylinder.
Find a local fluid power house...they may have a few scrap ones.
It's called an MP4 bracket for an NFPA standard cylinder. You're probably looking at a bracket for a 4.00" diameter bore.
They should run you around $20 -ish. New. Cheaper if you can find scrap.

Thanks for the tip..when I did a search under "eye bracket" I came up with a bunch of better better prices.

Love that bumper <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> You're giving me a need for welding <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Got to move first though...

Thanks, Finished up the welding yesterday and got a good amount of grinding done. I actually managed to execute some decent looking beads yesterday. Should finnish the basic bumper by the end of the weekend if the rain stops.

Finnished grinding and got a coat of black on it..needs another coat, but that can wait until I get the light bar and shackle tabs welded on.

Looks good, J! I'll see it in person in February! My orders finally came in...

Took the 89 for a Shake down run on its first "difficult" run this weekend. I was pleased. With the new fan clutch and the Dual condenser fans the Temp guage never moved. The crawler gears take the rig to a new level. I was able to move through tight turns with ease and with the SWB and 33's never touched a skidplate or a slider. Granted, Pinion mountain is a Difficult trail but on the bottom end of "difficult" in my opinion. The real test will be Holcomb/John bull/Gold moutain trifecta in the spring. I need to get busy on the gas tank skid.



The wife bought me a carpet kit for Christmas so I'll be putting that in soon and getting rid of the blue stuff. Anyone tried Dynamat to reduce road noise?

I've used Dynamat in the past on some different things and it works great, but is ESPENSIVE. Also, removability damn near doesn't exist if you want it out later. If you're ok in those two areas though, I say go for it! Rig looks great, too, by the way!

Justice,

That is one sweet rig! It makes me want to drive my '87 Montero diesel out there for an Extreme Makeover when it's done!

Yea that would be fun. Cant wait to see it! I was thinking of selling some of these bumpers if anyone is interested. But I need to first get the whole winch mounting thing figured out so I can make sure it all works together correctly. I'll be welding on some shackle tabs soon. I think I'm good enough to make it work. The next bumper I do, I'll put the shackle tabs all the way through the tube, so I can weld them on front and back.
