Thanks! I want to get it on the truck in the next couple days to get the holes drilled for mounting it and i will deffently take pics of that.

I got the top of it welded on tonight. and started doing some grinding before it got dark. there are a few spots that im going to have to back and put a small bead on to fill in holes but i dont think it turned out to bad. I think im going to leave the bead on the top just smooth it out a little. here is a couple pics, the first one is of the back side, so it is what you will see from behind the truck and the second one is just a close up of the middle part of it.

 

Very nice! I hope it looks good mounted up. Seems pretty big. It might look disproportional or something. We'll see :)

 

Yea it is big, thats the only part that is scaring me, i would guess its about 100lbs, im a pretty big guy and its heavy! my wore out leaf springs will probalby through fits.

 

man your skid plate looks good!

 

Looks way better then I thought it was going to! I like it, nice work!

 

Thanks!

Thanks! it was kinda hard to explain and picture what i was going for with out seeing it.

 

Those turned out great! Beefy as hell!!

 

turned out good, are you painting the entire thing black? or polish the top part? i think it'd look pretty cool with the diamond plate polished. that weight has to be killer tho, might be time for an AAL

 

Thanks! They should take a good beating

I was going to paint the whole thing black. What do u mean by polished? If I just polish the steel up and not put anything on it then it will rust pretty fast.

 

if you polished up the diamond plate and then put a clear coat on top...just to set it off a little...if i find a picture of what I mean, i'll post it

 

You gonna get that thing painted and mounted up this weekend ?

 

idk man, it probably wont get painted untill later this week. I still have quite a bit of grinding to do and maybe a little bit more welding. and i have to have help lifting my bed up so i can drill holes to mount it.

 

looks good, can't wait to see the final product

 

pics of it on the truck coming tonight!

 

Well today i put it on the truck to drill the mounting holes. needless to say i spent more time getting pissed at bad drill bits, drills, and not having room than being productive. But i go the holes drilled and am going to have to fix two of them but i will be taking the bed off for that and i will wait untill the bumper is finished before i take the bed off. It dosent look to bad on the truck but the bow in it kinda makes a little mad. deffently a big improvement from my old one. i have one problem though, since the 1/4 inch angle iron sits on top of the frame it interfers with my BL blocks so the last block is 1/4 inch higher than the rest. I was thinking i could make 1/4 spacers for the rest of them or i could cut 1/4 off the block or just leave it how it is. let me know think!

 

Rugged… what about those compartments, put a couple of hinged doors on them and get some storage.

 

They are for backup lights

 

Not bad . It sticks out a little to far for me , but you will have more of a step . Get some paint on it before it rusts again.

 

I cut my back two blocks down when I did mine

 

Hmmm....Ill be honest.

It looks good, but it does stick out a little from the sides.

But you will have a great step. Im trying to figure out how to make a step for mine right now lol.

Good job. Im ready to see some backup lights in there.


Oh yeah....Are you going to be able to re-install that body lift block?

 

Thanks guys!

I will probably just cut 1/4" of the block off so it will be the same height.
Yea it is a little wide on the side but nothing i can do about it now, and i wanted a step! I didnt want it so narrow that i couldnt step on it or just slide off of it.
Cant put the lights in untill its painted and i cant paint untill it decides to stop raining every freaking day.
Im almost done painting the skid plate and should have it on it a day or so.

 

Well, put some feathers on your head, and do an anti-rain dance lol.

 

got the skid plate mounted! sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures, it was windy and couldnt hold still.

 

That is beast.

Good job. MY TURN!!!

 

That's some serious beef!
