I was on another forum and saw a great tool for plowing and extra vision when backing up. It goes for about $200 shipped, but I figured I would try on my own. Parts go for about $100 and about 1 1/2 hours of labor. Here is the progress I have made..still waiting for the self contained strobe unit in the mail.

 

Cool. Not gonna put a salt spreader in the hitch?

 

$5 for 1' of 1/8 2"x2" square tubing
$30 for Rectangular light box with oval opening
$45 for Self Contained strobe light
$5 for miscellaneous wiring parts
$10...I needed a new spool of flux core and some tips for the mig box

 

Maybe next year...the stainless sander was not in the budget this year...

Here is the link to the original product that I got (stole) the idea from...

Its a great product, I just wanted to make it myself and save some dough.

 

that is a suspiciously similar design.

How much do the want for theirs? I note the price isn't listed....

 

$200 is crazy, my auxiliary lights under my bumper cost me $15.
