the colors look great. i like the red/black combo. having fun at the banx, then?

 

Discovered I need to learn to drive a clutch in the sand. Didn't get stuck, but wasn't very confident.

 

OBX Beach shots

 

win. absolute win.

 

Thanks too bad it got really windy after anew hours.

 

The bumper looks fantastic; makes me even more anxious to finish mine!

 

I'm looking forward to you finishing also. There are a few things I need to do still, one being a 'stop' to catch the tire from touching the rear light lens.

 

I dig the awning. Good idea

 

Looks good RBX. What size tires are those BTW I forget. I like the pinstripe on the wheels too, I don't think I noticed that before.

 

They are 265/75R16 the conversion says almost 32"

 

Thanks! I'm incorporating a t-pull to keep the arm locked down away from the body when unlatched; sounds like just what you need. My buddy has one on his Wrangler JK, and when I told him what I was planning for the bumper, he showed me the t-pull and how useful it is. Here's the setup on his Jeep:

As the arm swings open the pin rides up the ramp and locks into the hole. Best of all, it's only $10+shipping from Polyperformance!

Perhaps that can help you, but there's more than one way to skin a cat.

 

Thanks Zelephant, I like that idea alot. I'm going to try to incorporate that or something similar. Gonna try to make it so I don't have to weld or paint..(puts thinking cap on).

 

Awesome awning and, well, ALL OF IT! Looks fantastic, man! Giving me ideas, hahaha.

 

Thanks mark, I'm enjoying it thoroughly here in OBX.

 

took these with the iPhone using the HDR function, then merged in Photoshop

 

win. love those shots!

 

Thanks, I wish I had photo skills. These shots look much darker then on my laptop, maybe when I upload them to the image share they are converted somehow.

 

looks awsome

 

Thanks

 

Great pictures and I'm glad you changed your avatar. I just got an iPhone and when I whip it out to catch a shot I always seem to capture my own stupid face...

Did you hear about this while you were there? MP 7 on July 21. Seven feet long! (Not my pic)
