I wish I had the skills that you fellas have! I just got back from the welding shop. The guy took a shot at making my front brackets but could not get the angles right. He also knocked a 1/2 pound off each one of the big mounting pieces that the bumper brackets attach to. I may be able to tweak the aluminum brackets to make them work. Total cost was 25.00 and I supplied the 1/8" aluminum.
