Front counter weight

[TBAR]

Weld the bolt heads to the RR rail to match the hole spacing on your bumper. With the help of a friend, lift the rail into place, slide the bolts through the holes and put nuts on the back side. While this is not exactly what your looking to do HERE are some things I have done with DIY weights.

Here is how I did my front counter weight.. I went to the scrap yard and bought a 14 inch piece of 4 x 6 3/8 walled tubong. Got a 1 inch solid steel bar. Took u-bolts and bolted the bar inside the tube so that I have about 12 inches of bar sticking out each side. Then I went to good ole Wal-Mart and bought barbell weights. three 25 pounders and three 10 puunders per side. Grand total of 210 pounds...Excluding the weight of the tubing and bar which probably adds on another 20 pounds or so. The neat thing about this is you can adjust different amounts of weight for different applications and it was a LOT LOT cheaper than buying the suitcase weights from Kubota.
