looks sweet but you need to get a baja claw decal for the window instead of the boggers lol, looks sweet tho!

 

it shouldn't move at all.

hell you could weld it up solid, its just gonna add a little road noise/vibration

 

nah i can just make a mount kidna like the rcd one and bolt it to the bottom of the superlift crossmember...

 

started to work on my bumper a little bit more today. figured i would made a goofy lookin ifs skid plate so i could bump stuff and slide up it until my tires caught. and well, it happened. not done yet but heres how it sits.




i also capped off the sides that ive been slacking on doing since i made it originally. anyway, ill brace it up a bit tomorrow and make it nice and stout before i put it back on. oh a little grinding and a bit of paint and itll look pimp

 

Looking good man

 

hopefully it works..

 

we are gonna find out this weekend arent we? lol. its 3/16 plate and for some reason i have this gut feeling that i should have just manned up for 1/4". i guess time will tell

 

your rear bumper is freakin ****

thats exactly how i've planned on doing mine

 

dang it you just reminded me that i have to redo those pieces of tubing off the sides. gay. need to do that one night this week

 

whats wrong with them?

 

i just see the front plate being beat to hell

you should have built a skid like mine, just to protect the radiator and not really mess with approach angle. We'll see how it works and have a good write up with pics this time next week

 

it was the first thing i ever built and didnt really know what i was going. i cut sch40 to get the angle i wanted and never boxed in that rectangular tubing that is the main part of the bumper. and i never braced the tubing either. so now they are both cracked on the welds(not mine). so i have some dom that is actually bent to the correct angle that i need that i am going to replace it with them go straight up to the frame to brace them with. and im going to cap off the ends of the rectangular tubing. so itll be pure beef. ill let you know when im done with it. itll be sexy.

 

cool welcome to my very small club lol

 

better and better and I think that skid will need some new paint when you get back

 

I've really been thinking about making one like that. Can't wait to see how it looks on the truck.

 

yea i thought about making it bolt on to the bumper but my original draft failed miserably. so i just decided to weld it on. and will gussett the crap out of it. hehe

ill grind it down and paint it tonight and hopefully have it back on and post up some pics.

 

managed to finally get some more work done on my front bumper last night and put it back on....










now all its needs is a repaint and itll be good to go. i painted it but then forgot that i didnt finish welding my bracing in the back so yea paint does not like heat. and i ran out of paint so ill pick some up today...

 

That looks great. It's gonna get some serious work this weekend!!!

I have got to make me one like that now!!

 

looks good! I like it.

is all of it made out of 3/16" ?

 

yea understatement. its gonna get serious hell this weekend. kool part about it is that i didnt have to drill into the crossmember. superlift already had some holes in there. lol. so i just drilled my plate and bolted er in. im sure there will be a carnage report posted on sat night before the weekend is over...

 

I wish making one work with the rcd crossmember was that easy. It's all funky shaped.

Don't tear it up too much.

 

awesome man.... just awesome. id love to do that

 

when i do a traight axle ill probably sell this bumper

 

if there's anything left of it

nice work man, got any pics of the back?

 

not really.....wht are you wanting to look at?
