Snow plow mounting bolted and welded or?

Posted

So I have a plow that has been around for about 14 years it is an old boss v plow I have mounts for my truck and a ford theses are two separate factory made mounts for the rt2,,, I plan on setting up both trucks for the plow mine as a back up for when the ford breaks down. I have done this before and understand that my plow frames are bolt on items for both trucks but still require drilling a couple holes in the frame for example Boss says for the push bar rear support to drill 3, 9/16 inch holes in a 4 inch x 4 inch area now I know why those bolts are there but my question is would one 4 inch bead of weld that can be ground off be better than Swiss cheesing up the frame?  would it be just as strong?,  now to give you an idea of strength before these last 6 bolt go in or it is welded there is a total of 16 other bolts holding it all together...

I'm interested in these cameras, the police are out of control. Here in AZ they are very abusive on ones civil liberties. Camera links?

I ended up getting this one, http://www.amazon.com/KDLINKS®-X1-Dashboard-Camcorder-G-Sensor/dp/B00N8BM0BU

But there are other once bit cheaper with good quality. On mine I like the fact that it has motion detection but something really has to be moving in front of it to get it to start recording, that option is only when the truck is untended, but over all it's got good picture and somewhat easy to use. Manual is not as helpful but you'll figure it out. Also look at the way they mount m3 or suction cup, the one in the link comes with 2 suction cups and also rotates it is tiny and has screen saver so after few minutes screen shuts off and doesn't bother driver. I know people with cheap ones that work and it's ok for general use but if you want detail spend more money.

I don't have a setup for my DD but I use this http://shop.gopro.com/mounts/roll-bar-mount/GRBM30.htmlwith a GoPro for my race car...  I like it a lot but don't know if I want an expensive GoPro sitting in my DD in plain sight for anyone to have a go at stealing it...

 

not a bad camera for the price diesel I may have to pick one up for the DD
