bed mount

lookin for opinions. This is a front bed mount for my mazda.....should I add to this? like a 90 coming off the side of the frame to the tube arm itself?
it is 1.5'' 3/16 wall d.o.m tube

Thats plenty of beef for a bed. Not like you'll be loading a half ton of dirt in it or anything.

im more looking at design opinions....kinda looks like its missing something.
It is plenty strong, my big ass can stand on it and it doesnt budge lol

How tall is the mount? It would probably look cool to put a 90 in there with a smaller piece of tube, like 1" or 3/4". Or a 180 that goes from the frame to the flat part of the tube.

ground to top of the mount is 10&7/16''. Some pretty good ideas seth.

Yeah I'd probably use a smaller ID tube. I think using more 1.5" would look a bit cluttered. I think either way would look cool.

Do you have a smaller die or just 1.5"? I'll bend you some 1" if you don't have a small die. Just pay for the tube and shipping. I pay about a buck a foot for 1" .120 wall. A 180 eats up about a foot.

Angle cutting the bottom of tube that you have capped to bolt the bed onto would look good too. Throw that idea in with Seths and you have a slick looking bed mount right there.

Not only to look cool, but easier to access the bolt.Also decided to leave them alone, seth had a good point of clutter. Dont want to over do something your not going to see.
