NICE !!! That will be a fun rig for sure. Sure like that "TowaFreightTrain" Tow bar. You sure won't have to worry about it getting away for the tow vehicle. Not on the Jeep end of it anyway.

No Doubt, and actually a great place to incorporate some more weight up front for traction adder over the front wheels. Its sure not like one of those lightweight ridiculous hollow thin tubing tow bars that tend to split welds.

I'd actually like to have someone build me a tow bar for squarebodies specific as many as I tow around. Sure I can use my trailer, and its hell getting one that don't run up the trailer ramps, not to mention the added weight and towing a 1100 lb 18ft trailer empty hurts the fuel mileage one way til I get the truck on it. I also have a universal tow bar with all the chains, bumper and A arm hook ups, and that one is heavy and takes quite a bit of time to hook up, but I do use it because then I don't have to pull the trailer one way empty and can just throw the tow bar in the back of the truck and go and don't have to worry how I am getting the truck up on the trailer. A winch for Christmas would sure be nice. Hell, I'd be happy with a wench for Christmas too, especially if she was a hot wench.

I'm just glad I didn't have to spend 150 bucks on one of those skimpy round tube tow bars I got that one from my uncle they had it in a actuall frame and it was cut had my buddy make it stronger and make it fit the jeep he put some big nice welds on it I'd say it weighs bout 50 pounds but I didn't think I'd like one on it but I think it looks pretty cool

Man, as simple as that thing is, I'd take it apart and have the whole shell sandblasted and Line-X'd inside and out.
