My 3800 is scheduled to get it installed at the dealer next month. They quoted me 365 and that's 2 hours of labor for installation...I'm doing it for the cutting brakes.

The nice thing about metal is it can almost always be fixed.lol I appreciate your input and it makes total sense to me. I wasn't planning on scooping any undisturbed soil really, I was rather planning on scooping ground that I've already plowed with the rippers on my box blade. So the forces on...

1/2" holy smokes! I was gonna use 1/4"x4" flat bar and dimple flare 2 1/2" holes for extra support. Maybe I need to re think that

still need to finish weld in some spots. Build the sides, and id like to add a lip to the front to keep the larger rocks from kicking back out the front edge. Which I have an idea for.

I got some things done today until I ran out of weld wire. I got lazy towards the end.

Added another cup holder.can't ever have too many of those.. Also added a little box for chain and what not that i bought on Ebay. Was a real bastard to bolt up.

here is a pic of how i mounted the box. Bottom left bolt is where i relocated the top link Hodder

I'll report back with a picture for you. But it was easy as drilling two holes matching the two on the back of the box. There is a strap that wraps the bottom inside of the box for strength. It'll all make sense when you see the pic.

Ya Amazon, they were the middle size. 2 pack
