flashkl gets armor!!

For the last week, Neu Horizons Off Road (Land Cruisn' 60 from ih8mud) has been building me a front bumper. It's almost done now, just gotta make a few more tie-ins to the frame and gusset it in a few spots, and then she'll be ready for some paint! The bumpers 1 3/4" HREW tubing built off the trail gear winch mount. Sliders and a back bumper will be coming in the next week or two! Oh, and a SAS fairly soon too!

looks good! now you just need some way to hold the turn signals in permanently and a 'budbuilt' style skid plate.

dannomite · 10-30-2009, 07:57 PM

Looking good.

flashkl · 10-30-2009, 10:55 PM

ya, gotta find a way to make them turn signals a bit less rigged. I might just move the bulbs into the corner light housings or summat... as for the skidplate, im not gonna bother, SAS is soon to come.

vital22re · 10-30-2009, 11:00 PM

check your local laws for bumper requirements. I'm sure that's not street legal. but looks good.

muddpigg · 10-30-2009, 11:01 PM

I look and this is food for thought as I've got the same winch mount. Have you seen the turnsignal into the marker light mod?

flashkl · 10-30-2009, 11:29 PM

yeah, looks like a good mod and prolly the easiest way to get the markers up there

Elton · 10-30-2009, 11:58 PM

yea move your turn signals to the corners you can even reuse your sockets

ocdropzone · 10-31-2009, 01:46 AM

that trail gear mount is the same route I went. Looks good just trim them zip ties

Bumper winch mount plate is a great platform for custom bumper work. Used lots of them.

flashkl · 10-31-2009, 08:00 AM

I got mine from you, wabbit! And untrimmed flourecent pink zip ties are the new 5" fart can exhaust tip, never will I trim them!

What my rear bumper will kinda be like, minus the spare tire carrier

Woo! another person with zip ties license plates!! Looks good though, the stinger would be better if it was taller, but being that short really isnt going to help anything but looks!

1989toy4wd · 11-01-2009, 05:40 PM

Speaking of bumpers, I havent seen anyone build a tube bumper with headlight guards on these trucks, you know like those cheap bull bars, I have always liked those and probably could have used the guard earlier this year when I busted my corner light on a 4ft vertical wall on a trail!

flashkl · 11-01-2009, 05:41 PM

well, it'll keep stuff from effing up the plastic grill somewhat. But yeah, mostly it just looks really badass

flashkl · 11-01-2009, 05:41 PM

as for the headlight guards, ive seen a bunch of tube bumpers with them ,but for the most part they look really funky
