seems like you, ckau and myself all are tackling the same things at the same time.

i've been working up mounts for my rack. I have a piece of 1/2 x 3/4 bar stock to weld to the front and drill and tap to mount to. I need it to give some clearance for the boots and want enough thread depth. Looking at it the other day I came to the conclusion that i wanted to weld a piece of 1/4 plate to the underside of the bar stock to make a 90 angle for the rack block to set into so the bolts don't shear. I seem to recall more than one yerf mount picture where the rack's a bit crooked likely from the bolts beginning to bend.
