    Local guy says he's going to make one up for me. $260 installed. We'll see what he says when he sees the van next week.

    Ok, $61 more than the $260.00 "ballpark" quote, but worth it. Me like Cool

    I need to take a picture of the one that was on my van. I pulled it off to get the rear sway bar installed. I may install it again down the road, but will need to modify it to work with the sway bar in place.

    Now and then I have to haul a flatbed for a few miles laden down with a couple+ tons. Took a piece of ¼" thick rectangular tubing 10"x4" x 2' long. Cut it in half lengthwise at a diagonal, leaving essentially two somewhat formidable chunks of structural angle iron of like dimensions. Then, worked in and reinforced some 2-1/2" square tubing. The sides are attached vertically/longitudinally to the frame with ½" ss bolts (eight total), and laterally by the bumper bracket bolts (no, you do not want to rear-end me). Gas tank mounting clamp is accessible and tank can still be removed.

    As much as I hate to admit it, sometimes my beloved bailing wire just don't do the trick.
