ok ladies and gentlemen

got a new tubing bender so i thought it was time to start on some projects i've been wanting to tackle

i love the convenience and look of the tire gate so i decided to start with that sense im more of a BAJAer i went with the prerun




i have little pictures so far but i will update as progress goes on


also my ADHD kicked in and i decided to paint my badges

 

sweet, i wana get a bender bad. I would start making all kinds of **** and I'd prolly get carried away.

I like the speeding sticker on yer bed lol

 

welded it up early this morning here you guys go

 

thanks i need to fix it tho i spelt gotta wrong but i like the reactions i get lol

 

yeah who cares still gets the point across haha. Gate is looking good, will be sweet when done. so how exactly is it mounted for removing/opening and closing?

 

What bender did you get?

 

looks like a jd2 model 3 maybe

 

exactly and i love it! works like a charm!

 

heres the latest as of tonight

i put the tubes in to see how i want the outer 2 to be welded


center tubes welded and HIGH nut welded in



let me know if you have any questions and pic requests
-Andy

 

Looking good. We need finished pics asap.

 

yeah thats what im telling every one! if you would like one i can make you one for cheap

The tubes houses a 6 in bolt (pin if you will) that is spring loaded and is held down by a set screw so it wont back out then i got 3/4in bar stock and made a L handle and welded a washer on it with a side cut off

When you put the L handle in it pushes the bolt down to pose as the bottom pin


The bracket mounted on the truck has a tiny peace of angle so you can put the L handle and turn it to lock it in

If you need any further explanation please let me know ill be happy to take extra pics

So far it works good! cant wait for it to be done so i can start on my next build that i saw on the KC Hi-Lights pit truck i saw in vegas a while back at a pre-runner race pics of this will come soon

 

yes sir lol
Im wanting it done asap
I have 2 more fab projects just screaming to be done

 

blacked out emblems FTW!!!! did it on my truck and love it

 

same here! i also painted my front oval black and red which looks dead smexy ill post a pic of that tomorrow

 

ok so im to excited and want your input on if i should go for it or not
im looking at building the roll bar/ rack/ light bar on the KC chase truck





let me know what you guys think
-Andy

 

hell yes man! haha

 

dude that looks sweet! once i move into my new place i'm getting a bender and welder asap so i can make all sorts of stuff for my truck! and that light bar would look sweet on the ranger.

 

to make sure everyone knows which light bar im talking about its the one over the cab

 

heres another look at what im thinking of















just seats in the place of the tires and gas tanks
so what do you think?

 

^hell yes

 

YES!!!!!!! im so stoked!!!
think ill start it tomorrow during Auto lol
F*** school

 

now i have a question on a design of a bumper
can those of you post pics of the custom tubular bumpers?
thanks
-Andy

 

For the Love of all things HOLY, YES
Build that ASAP. Good Job on the spare iter carrier.

 

Thank you!

and i was thinking a bumper like this one
