drop it in a hole somewhere.. I wanna know how strong your welds are !!  applaudd applaudd

just bein critical here.. it is a heavy azz burban..     ==kk

   design thought....... instead of butt welding the straps, I would have overlapped them onto and/or around the front of the reciever and done the same with the other end at the cross member.

had you flipped the reciever.. you would have increased you approach angle and reduced the chance of the reciever "digging in"  you would have had to notch the bumper near the top of the license plate mount but...
