hey rash....any chance of a pic of the "forest bucket". it sounds interesting.

It's similar to the Mighty Kong and the other cradles on the market, but Bill Forrest was the first one to come up with the idea.  The stock long Suzuki arm is reinforced with square tubining and then you bend/weld this puzzle piece that welds the long arm.  It connects to the short arm at the mounts.  The bucket also ties into drum brake mount holes at the rear output with another piece which is not shown.

Rock 4x Fabrication used to sell the kit, but I'm not sure if they do anymore.  At $100, it was pretty pricey for what it was.

Here is the work in progress and finished product.  It's actually a PITA to get everything aligned right and then it warps when you weld.  Quite tedious which is why they have kind of faded away.

I also never beefed up my short arm and I haven't had any problems with it.
