I'm too young to retire so I guess I'll just be tired

 

Thank god @BartMaster1234 wasn't flying

 

If anyone could sink an airplane...

 

Why not a flying boat

 

@Kwikvette

Something like this brace under your bumper and then the diagonal braces you drew earlier...



The big bar is your bumper (not to scale)

 

Oh no shit

Braces the entire receiver. I may have to cut something like that at school but it'll be simple.

5 pieces; 1 front and 1 rear, then 3 small plates to enclose the brace and make it "boxed"

 

Or you can use a piece of box tubing and cut a 2" square out of the top and mitre the edges

 

I happen to have multiple 2" square box tubing in the scrap bin at work; boss told me they're too short for anything we need.

 

The wedge from the top of the hitch tube to the bumper body is a good strong option you can do on one side or both if you got the clearance

 

2" probably too small since the hitch tube is 2", I modeled it with 3x2 rec tube

 

I'll check to see what we've got.

I'll order a receiver once I get to the bar; we need a drink.

 

You can get a receiver hitch tube from Harbor freight lol

 

Yeah, I've seen painted ones and would rather not sand/grind paint off.

But really I won't have time; school from 7-11, work from 1-6.

That break between is driving to/fro and getting lunch.

Fuck, full of excuses tonight

I'll just order it now.

 

@Speedytech7 that's a legit ass brace, something I think I've seen on custom flat beds but never considered until now that you posted it.

Thanks
