there you go! gonna try it out soon, even though i need new shackles

looks awesome man..

it would probably look better color matched to the truck tho, but still looks good!

Where did your duals go? Looks good tho

noice!.. hmmm great idea! haha

nope i dont hate.. just like to see people being creative and fab'n their own stuff :smirk:

takes way to long to build it,haha alot of grinding if you are planning on making one but it was fun to make it and it looks sweet!

hacked the tips off, reduced cab noise by at least 50% and looks a lot better, plus more ground clearance in the rear w/o worryin about trashing my tips. the tips have gone to jeremy to make dual exhaust for his 3 wheeler

the dauls went on my 1985 honda big red 3 wheeler haha

dude! i came to you FIRST and asked if you would be willing to make me one, but you didn't so no biggie, and on another note, i made the whip bracket and i was plannin on going with one shackle and putting the liscense plate to the right of it, now granted its still the same as yours, but thats kinda the point, i wanted your bumper.. just trying to defend myself

plus mine wont ever rust :smirk:

hah.. yeeee haaa!

looks really good

Nice job! Looks good...

It looks good but I must agree, if you color matched it, it would look freakin awesome.

ha ha yeah it will :196:

looks good! but i say color match it and center the rear plate if possible.

Looks good..

my post wasnt suppose to be against you lol.. you took it the wrong way heh, i was saying it was cool that you made it, doesnt mater what it looks like or is based off of, i was saying its nice to see people making their own parts :smile:

That looks so bad ass. I like the plate on the side. Its mounted directly to the frame, or what?


I would so pay for one of those. Its cheaper then buying a welder and learning to weld!

So, if someone did want to make them, I bet they'd make some good money (hint)

BTW make sure the shackels DO NOT flip back and hit the tail gate because they will when going down a bumpy road. if they do make a like stop for them would be a smart idear or refab new D-shackel pionts lower...

yeah we cut little pieces of angle and welded it to the square tubing, the square tubing is 3/16 thick and the shackle brackets are 3/8 thick...overkill!haha

bingo.. i could show you guys the 2 scratch/creases from me..well..jumping i guess lol, but non the less tailgate went up, so did shackles, tailgate went down shackles stayed up, and just that 1/4" higher that the hinge point got me good

thats if yer tailgate is down when driving anyways.. still dont know why i even had it down or on

looks good..nice metal work

Dear Sir or Madame,

I, Aaron, represent Andy in the case Andy vs. idea stealing whore. We would like to settle this matter out of court if possible. We have decided that you should pay Andy $500 and send his lawyer, me, two relatively hot girls to Juneau, Alaska. If you do not meet our settlement we will be forced to sue you for stealing his bumper design.

Thanks,

p.s. You can send that $500 to me and ill pass it on to andy.

haha wtf... i believe i can rep myself in the case of i dont care..

but nice try scamy :P

looks good....i want to make something like that for my truck....nice tail lights lol i have the same set on my truck...

My client Andy, (as shown above) is slightly mentally retarded and cannot speak for himself. Ignore what he says. Remember, this is the guy who wants a honda civic to mod and race.
