    While I'm of the opinion that what you have designed/mocked-up ISN'T a flat-deck.

    It's still pretty fcukin cool... Good luck !

    I had one of the guys in the shop give me a quick lesson on how to run this bridgeport mill. I was able to drill the 1-1/8" and 9/16" holes with ease with this bad boy.

    I cut a couple of sample cheek plates as well. I need to try again with my 85amp tip tomorrow to try and get rid of the chamfer that was created with the 45amp tip. If that doesn't work then I'll dive further into the settings and see what I can figure out.

    ^ Cheek plates welded in place.

    Yup, the 6.5 ton shackles fit just fine. I spec out this shackle on a daily basis at work, so it's fun to have a set on the truck. Yes, they're overkill, but who cares.

    Here's the 5"x2" tube again. I had laid out my cuts based on the thinner steel and they lined up perfectly.

    yny3asep_d61e027bd6c37f7907e550d7141947d554aaff85.jpg

    Now we're talking. It's starting to look like a bumper.

    9y4aveqy_293c859bd03692bb3f8c8e8fe6c5b8b2a43c259c.jpg

    Tacked and ready for final welding. I'll cut the hole for the receiver tube before I do the final welding though.

    The next step after the bumper is to get the jobox mounted. I'm betting that the spare tire carrier is going to have to go. That's why I'm building the bumper first. I don't want the frame rails to go all wonky when I cut that thing out.
