Looks killer man.:D I noticed that the ends around the head lights flare out a bit past the body. Do you plan to tie in an exo in the future? Looks like it would be a good spot.

Yes Nikkon I am planning on going exo so I'm trying to put as much fore thought into it as possible.
I plan on the upper hood tubes tying in there but I'm gona take a brake for awhile as soon as I finish the bumper so I don't burn out on it. I mech. or fab all day as it is, so its hard to stay motivated if ya no wata I mean:beer:

That's looking really killer Scott. I'm outta comission for a while, but I'll be willing to run with you guys in the sami I just built. If the driver can't cut it, I'll have to take over.

I'd never bent tube before, I weld and fab for a living but all large stuff normaly nothin thiner than 1/4" and thats the small side. This is my 2nd project. Bendin 101 is the shit. way easy to understand I printed the article and laminated it in folder form and threw out the instruction that came with the bender. My only complaint is that I need copeing 101 the compound angles get pretty heady for my pea brain. Thanks for the write up you saved me and many others a shit load of time and money I'm sure :beer: Scott

Nah, it's not going to happen, nobody has their stuff together. Still waiting on the calmini kit for the sami. My truck is going to grenade on me any day now, Brandon's jeep still needs to be finished and Matt's jeep is cageless. I'm probably going to go to fordyce with DRT12 later this month in the sami. Ask him about that trip. I forgot the dates already.
