    That thing is going to be a PITA to reverse - short drawbar and poor visibility.



    Looking good though.
    Done & DONE!

    The wing will be in no danger of making contact, & I've got a fiberglass mast that I'm gonna mount, centered on the front of the box, so I can see whats goin' on back there...

    Towing it home was a rather odd sensation, no discernable (sp?) towing resistance, coupled with not being able to see it in any mirror until I turned a 90 deg corner...

    Thanks for the good advice & comments Mr. K...

    As an afterthought...

    The downside of this "bargain" ricer wing is...I paid more for the new S-S hardware to mount it with, than I paid for the wing......

    Except for filling it with stuph, this'll pretty much be the finished product before Moab this year.

    I just love the "this year" qualifier....can't wait to see how it evolves in the coming years.

    Those are cool, Dub. Are they plastic or real chrome?
