Rubicrawler 05-20-2002, 05:17 PM It took all weekend, but we got it done :) I couldn't have done it without the help of Dave Mills (from this board)! Thanks buddy! Here's a few pics of the bumper fab and install as well as some lower body trimming :) Rubicrawler 05-20-2002, 05:18 PM after the trim of about 4" Monkeyboy 05-20-2002, 05:19 PM Few?

Ace Truck Boxes on Pacheco in Martinez. $7.95 each and beefy as hell :skull: Rubicrawler 05-20-2002, 05:41 PM Originally posted by Monkeyboy Mark are you ignoring us :D:flipoff2: :beer: Yes :flipoff2: Actually, I was trying to finish posting the pics :flipoff2: Rubicrawler 05-20-2002, 05:46 PM Originally posted by jdjanda Mark, Looks good, I assume your going to wrap the bumper around? What about the body mounts? Joe Not sure about the wrap around yet. It can be added if we decide it needs it. You can see the new "body mounts" in the 3rd pic. Look carefully at the top of the rear frame x-member. Rubicrawler 05-20-2002, 05:57 PM Originally posted by Monkeyboy Yah where did you get the rings? Looks good. See previous post re the rings. And thanks! Here's a riddle for y'all: What do you get when you mix a stuborn bumper bolt, a heavy 1/2" drive ratchet and a 255 pound jackass with a few too many :beer:'s in him? Answer= shattered eye glasses (thought they were safety glass), blood everywhere :barf:, all the steri-strips we had in the house and the worlds worst shinner :eek::rasta: I think I'll survive :emb: BTW- I got the bolt off!

You got rid of the old body mounts and had the perfect solution for a bumper mount! Is that just square tube between the body and the cross-member?

Is that just square tube between the body and the cross-member? Square tube and a couple of old body mounts :) It's just a temporary fix. I have a couple of other ideas in mind that are more rugged. SSGTWC 05-21-2002, 10:16 AM Mark, I'm curious as to what thickness rec. tube you used? Looks real good though, I like the D-rings especially. :D :flipoff2: Rubicrawler 05-21-2002, 01:05 PM Originally posted by Tim in Ks Mark, I'm curious as to what thickness rec. tube you used?

SnowScoutII 05-21-2002, 01:39 PM wow mark, looks great! I hope you dont extend them to the sides. It look ti*s the way it is. Hope to see yall on friday or saturday, Think Iam going in thursday night to avoid the traffic:D Old Scout 05-21-2002, 01:43 PM Originally posted by Rubicrawler Ace Truck Boxes on Pacheco in Martinez. $7.95 each and beefy as hell :skull: There 5.75 at Blue Collar Supply :flipoff2: jdjanda 05-21-2002, 01:54 PM Originally posted by SnowScoutII wow mark, looks great! I hope you dont extend them to the sides. Huh, you need all the help you can get there to avoid tearing up the body when you drop down on a rock, or cut a corner too close. Not that it matters for my rig, but Amanda's rig still has a clean and straight body. | |
