I wanna see pics of your pigs front-rear bumpers and sliders. What works and what doesn't, who built it and what it cost. Thanks :beer:

Man, you just want everything, don't you? Want, want, want...:flipoff2:

Don't tell me you're actually gonna wheel that boulevard cruiser! :p

:beer:'S to the 55 crew :D

Hey Toyech, If you keep giving me a hard time there will be no ride for you.:flipoff2: Just remember that it is big and ugly now, just wait soon it will just be big and I am sure I can find someone else to ride shotgun. So keep that mini outta the way. :beer:

Here's my skid plate, custom built to protect the SM465+NP203+4spdtcase. The tcase is about one foot rearward of the stock location. It was built by Michael Dremann (LEDrem@ix.netcom.com)

Rear bumper by Dave Custer of Shrapnel Metal Design and rear swing-out by Luke Porter:

I would [u]not recommend Dave Custer, but I can say Luke has done a good job on the swing-arm. It's almost done - just need to add a hi-lift carrier and make one or two tweaks and it'll be ready for Rubithon.

I'd recommend Butch, Mike and Luke to you as good fabricators, and all these designs work well for me. I'd like to put a mini-nerf on the rear corner protection someday, but it will have to wait. Who knows? Maybe I'll just bob the 55 and make a 50. :)

Yes, I know, as all true followers in the way of pirate4x4, I must get a welder, plasma cutter, bandsaw to augment my chop saw and grinder and build everything myself, from now on. 'Cause god knows I've got nothing else to do! :shaking:

I like how morgan is showing us his skidplate, alot easyer then crawling under it and getting dirty:flipoff2:

Morgan, Why don't you like your rear bumper? I was looking to build something simiiar minus the gas can thing. Later

Tim, bumper is OK, was griping more about Dave I guess.

Now that is what I want :smokin:...more pics plz:rasta:

Joseph A.

Morgan, I see just some personal issues,eh? did you ever go full with rear? I thought you were talking about going bigger or something in the past? Later:beer:

Got burnt by Dave Custer.

I think I might go 1-ton at some point. I've ot a C&C 14-bolt in the garage, and when I can afford it I'll start looking for a front D60. That's down the road, and I'm not sure I'll go that route. I really want to run 38.5x14.5 SX tires.

Wheeling it as it is this summer, except for addition of an anti-wrap bar, basically. Bunch of stuff to fix before Rubithon. Shit I've got to get wrenching!
