thats pretty cool, although if it was my choice i'd throw the grill in the background on instead not a thing wrong with tailgating.

X2

I would grind down the sharp edges because your new name could be "laceration by F150."

So do you drive places with it like that? That would make a nice portable gym. Now just find a way to secure the bottom of the bag so it doesn't swing and it's good to go

The grill hitch was one of my discarded senior projects. We opted for the side exit exhaust on my old 2wd

That sure would be handy at deer camp for hanging and butchering.

If you are satisfied with the function, have someone weld it up. It should not cost too much to get someone to weld it up for you or you might know someone who can weld. That will stedy it up in a hurry.

I've built one for deer after I saw one in sportsmans guide. It's pretty handy when the tractor is not available when it's time to process.

That would be great for Road Rage. You can pound the crap out of the bag instead of the guy that cut you off .
