If you return the truck to rental location, Ryder has some
nice turbodiesels. Unfortunately they don't do 1 way rentals.
Penske and Budget do, for rates very competitive with U*Hell.

Looks good. REad throught most of the posts here, I might suggest to help with
weight, make it two-piece where the sides come off as a unit, so you have two
lighter pieces instead of one heavy piece.

Also, might thing about putting two angles in the 2" drawbar to raise the whole
thing up...you know, for ground clearance.

Let me know when you start designing TJ bumpers...

cool, thanks for the tips. its a bit premature, i dunno how hard its going
to be to get financing in an area where we dont even live yet. my wife has
excellent credit and i have good credit, but we would obviously be starting
new jobs if we move 2500 miles and im unsure how much of an impact that will
have on our ability to finanace another home while we still have this one
finanaced. regardless, if i cant get it done before the snow falls ill be
force to wait until next spring. im not moving during winter snowstorms in
the dakotas.
