sure it can be done.
what kind of fab work can you do?
Yep, big piece of steel, a brake would be cool, a welder to fab some mounts and frame work.
given time im sure you could make something quite funtional and tough.

Like this? I have the piece that takes it all the way to the carrier bearing, but have not installed it. Really don't see a need for it yet. made from 2x3x.250 tube, wrapped in 5/16" plate!!!
