RMA

Bumper looks great mano... a little close to the body for me [I prefer a little more room before the sheet metal gets hit] but to each his own.
You planning to add a fuel can carrier beside the tire?

RMA

Yea i agree it is a little close.. live and learn i guess because i dont feel like cutting it up again. i will be adding mounts for gas cans one of these days.
ive already primered it and will paint it tonight .

and Thanks !!

aviator

Oh well... with it in tight there is less to hang up on departure angle right?

I like it, nice work. Can you post more info and pics of the hinge and latch?

RMA

Thanks man .. check out the first pics i posted it shows the hindges being made. they are made from some 1 1/2 x 1/4 dom with some 1" high tensile cold rolled steel as the pin in double shear.
the pin has to be banged out from the bottom in order to open it , but im ok with that for now.

i will add some gas can holders later when i get them ,i painted it with some rustoleum satin for now. I will also add a connector like the one Fatmouse used on there bumper for the lights.I just have to go pull one from an astro van from pick n pull.

ok i also added some diff armour today .
a friend gave me a linked rear axle that was bent .. so i cut off the diff armour and the links with the brackets .. i then cut the axle and made a tool to use when pressing out the bearings ..
any way heres the diff armour welded to my diff, just needs paint now.

its made from 3/8" steel

RMA

Thanks Logan .. took me about a year but hey its almost done ..
