Re: H3 Hidden Winch Bumper Build...
[quote=CO Hummer]
I might be a little concerned with those d-ring mounts. I looks like only two bolts with fairly small heads. I hope they are grade 8. Alternatively, you might consider welding the mounts directly to the bumper. Along those lines - I also be a bit concerned about bending that 1/4 face plate if you're really tugging on it and the mounts hold. You can always fix that by welding in some gussets on the inside (or maybe you've done that already).[quote]
He's using the stock shackles and mounts from the H3, which are directly bolted to the frame. According to HUMMER, a single shackle/mount can hold the whole weight of the vehicle, so he's got nothing to worry about in the strength department.
