Rhino Plow on a 92 Carry

[mwood]

Just finished fabin up a removable mounting system on my 92 carry. The whole thing unbolts and drops away when its not needed. I also installed 250# front springs to carry the extra load. The plow and mounting bracket were made for a Yamaha Rhino. The front bumper and mounting frame were made from Iron purchased at home Depot. Ill put in some pictures.

Im Just adding a few more build pictures in case any one is interested in this setup. the whole thing with plow, small lift winch. and metal was under $1000
to set up. Not included in the cost is the 3" lift kit and and front springs. Im also running 25" tires and they work fine even without the 250lb springs.:pop:

Wow, that's impressive! Nice work man, I'll use that for ideas when I re-do my plow setup... which I'd better get on soon. Won't be long until I'll need my plow too :/

Well now that I have all the major Mechanical out of the way Ifigured it was time to get the painting done. I let my daughter pick out the color. I was a little skeptical about Satin Red:eek: but it turned out ok.

Looks very good... I like the amount of clearance you still have with your plow hitch too! I don't want mine to be removable as I want to incorporate a skid plate and permanent winch mount in the front. I think. I'm still on the fence about the permanent mount, but I'll probably end up doing it.

[mwood]

Removable is good for axcess. I have a front skid plate that clips onto the plow mount. The winch fits the front or rear reciever. This setup leaves me with 10.5" clearance at the lowest point.

I will take any info you have. With the blizzards out here in bethel, I could use a plow before winters end.

Glad to help, do you have plow, what do you want pictures of

I could use more of the bumpers and mounting points for them to start with. Then if you had lengths and stuff on the metal. I don't have much experience in metal fab work, so I am a little slow when it comes to this. If I get picks of where everything is mounted and can start the measurements myself. I have the same truck as you so it should be the same.

Looks good, nice and simple and plenty stout.

Yeah, it's not as sturdy and hardcore as yours but I think (hope) it'll do the trick. I may put a steel plate on the inside of the cab for additional support if I start to see stress on the metal. Snow's pretty much here already so I'll be putting it to the test right away :D

Sheperdale.
Dont try and make your front bumper as hard core as mine. I was just figuring it out as I went.
Remove the plastic front bumper and weld a peace of 1.5" angle to the front of the truck at the Firewall/ Floor joint. This will protect the radiator. Stiffen the nose of the truck and provide you with a place to weld mounting tabs for the front bumper. The plow frame will act as the lower bumper mount.
The 2 main support peaces are 10.5" X 2" angle and are positioned directly opposed to each other. The rest of the frame is cut and welded to fit. All parts are 2" or 1.5" angle.
Good luck
Mike
