looks sweet man do you have a link to the bender your using?

 

looks nice, what did you do for the sides of the actual gate where the pin goes through?

 

yeah! here you go!

JD Squared, Inc.

im useing the manual but they also make a hydrolic version which is well worth the extra green

 

the locking mechinisum or the pin set up?

 

i hate to thread jack but what does the 300 include? the bends stand and one die?

 

dergee indicator and handle are included, stand and die sets are sold separately.

this is off the sit just under the pic of the bender.

 

i read i must of missed that damn thats a ton of money to drop. but it would save money in the long run

 

that part there, mainly the red caps?

i want to build myself a tiregate, but can't quite figure out what to use for hinges/latches, i actually really like your setup that you have...

 

more questions...



what are all the holes in the square tube for?
and where does it mount to, the stock tailgate latches, anywhere else? i like the ideas of brackets for the gate rather then a whole frame for mounting the gate

 

ok almost got the rack done!!!
PICS!!!

i can evan stand on it!














my buddie and i at target!
thats a 3 body and 4in sus fyi

 

those hols bolt where the stock brackets use to be

 

this is kinda the break down

the red caps are suspension pivots i think ill check tomorrow

 

let me know what you think!

 

dude that roof rack is sick. are going to put 5 lights in it?

for the gate, did you buy that spring and pin thing, thats held in by the set screw (if so where?), or somehow make it? Sorry, i just haven't been able to have much luck choosing hinges for my gate but your setup is perfect. keep the projects coming haha

 

i made it like the top pin but i just used a bolt and a washer like this:


Mock up with labels

Inner pin by it self


Bushings used

 

and yes there are going to be 5 lights 2 hids and 3 driving/normal fogs

 

I like the tire gate, pretty cool

 

thank you sir!

 

NEW pictures from this morning











let me know what you think

Thanks

very nice man, glad to see it coming together! you still make me want to build a gate....

 

i like how you strengthened the roof rack with that upper bar that extends to the rear of the bed. I bet that added a lot of strength.

 

great work man, and I also love your decal on your bed it makes me lol!

 

thanks guys and yes it did add a lot of rigidity to the rack so much that i can stand on it and it doesn't evan give

 

just because i know you will
when you do if you have any questions let me know i will be happy to help

 

so what would one of these tiregates cost a person?
