Sliders and Rear Bumper
1 Attachment(s)
Hey Gang,
A local fellow, Matt, from Washougal, build a set of sliders and a bumper for me recently based on a design on here for an '85, and I'd thought I'd share. Attachment 210677 |
That looks great, do you have any other pics to share?
|
Sure, any specific angles you want to see?
|
Mounting points and a side view so that it's eye level in the pic, if that makes sense? Thanks!
|
That makes sense, I'll take a few shots in the morning. The sliders are welded to the frame, and the bumper uses the stock frame holes for the tow bar.
|
Thanks, sliders are coming up on the list for my build and I'm looking for ideas now.
Also, I would recommend getting some good paint on that stuff real quick. I painted my rear bumper with a couple coats of rustoleum and my front bumper got powder coated, the difference is pretty amazing. I think that powder coating is very worth it, if you can swing it. |
I hear you on the paint, my plan is to use picklex as a surface treatment, followed by zero rust, and a UV resist top-coat.
|
get them powder coated, you'll be verffy happy with them if done right. there is 2 or 3 places where I live that does powder coating so I can pick and choose what and where I wanna go to. Gonna have the steel wheels done like that, get them prepped and powder coated it'll last long than the frame does, lol
|
Well, I was on the fence with powder coating. I think it looks much nicer, but as this rig was made to be used so I worry about scratching the powder coat and re-coating being a pain. I've already had to use it quite a bit.
I ended up going with John Deere Equipment primer (High Zinc), and a gallon of their blitz black ( I have lots left over for other stuff!). I plan to recoat later today, and I will snap a few more pics. |
