I tried to follow BillaVistas calculations and references on his website but its beyond me. Question I have is not only is this safe but what would be the max capacity of this? From what I know its an 18 mil rod thru the bumper with a hole in it for the Dring. The bumper is sleeved and the rod passed thru. On the back of the bumper on the head of this rod is a round plate about 2" in diameter and approx 3/16" thick. The rod is passed thru the sleeve and a circlip on the front preventing lateral movement. It swivels so that if you are pulling sideways on it, it rotates around.
Would the circlip strength be worrying as well? Especially considering shock loads, ie winch cable breaking, etc
To me it doesn't look like it would work, am I wrong?
