but but... that blocks the tail light! now idiots that run into you have an excuse for not paying attention haha trust me... I got sited for having my CB radio antenna mounted on my front bumper... it was in the way of my "driving view" and could " cause a serious accident" .... a dumb ass park ranger told me that.

 

Psht. Bottle jacks are the shiznit.
I've pushed out a few dents with mine, before.

 

Here's a shot of the bumper from a little distance..



Still got some gussets and some extra support and such until I can strip, prime, and paint it

 

Looks fine to me man, function over form...


anywho, did you get your Jerry cans yet? THIS GUY DID!

 

Yep, got mine yesterday while I was working on this thing.

I think I'm gonna shoot a coat of paint on em. Still need to figure out how/ where to mount them..

 

gonna have to take off the rear bumper to change a burned out bulb or can you get the lense out?

 

Someone mentioned this yesterday..

I can pull the 4 bolts for the bumper and it will tilt back yet still stay attached to the frame. It won't be as big of a PITA as people may think.

 

cool

 

Sweet, one mine is USMC '78. How about one mounted each corner of the bed in the back?

 

Normally when I go camping my coolers take that space.
I'm thinking on top of the wheel wells

 

Nice cans, whatta 'bout the bumper?

 

I cut off the square poop protection. Sent some measurements to a fabricator for tube bending. Soon as he gets back to me and I get the bent stuff it'll be burned on. Then I can finish the odds and ends on this thing..

 

Looks good! Is there any side support if someone was to tug on the side protection (by the tail lights)? Don't want your hard work bending under winch power.

 

Killer job, bro! You kept the right idea in mind, function over form. Nice and tight against the real of the body.....excellent. Are you going to weld in some "D" recovery points, or what?

Your welding has improved greatly. I remember when 1st bought your lil welder, and made your welding cart.....lol!

 

Nice man! Can't wait to see the new tube!

 

Looking good man can't wait to see more

 

Thanks man. I haven't heard back from the fabricator about the tubular bedside protection. So I might end up painting it and calling it done for now.

 

I gotchya, I want to do a design similar to yours and then tie it into the sliders but only on the back side, front side of the sliders would be standalone from the front bumper

 

sweet stickers....

 

Bump my thread just to say that ?

Well thanks. I need need all the horsepower I can get
