ok so its strange casue it happens when i kinda get on it around 20-30 mph but it continues even when only costing and no power to the wheels... and once it starts crying it kept at it even at 5mph, when i parked it the u joint bolts had loosened too.

Thats one sweet bumper. Are you sure you want to call it a Brush Guard? It looks like a Cattle Guard/ Cattle Killer. Is it finished or are you going to cover it up with sheet metal?

Keep the pics comming!
