Builds Trail Tailor- Custom Armor Build plus a few things (1 Viewer)

[Markuson]

I'll get started on the rear bumper next week. I popped a capacitor on my 350 machine so I dusted off the little 211 and got a few things tacked up this morning.

Frame for the 4 can basket OR 35 YETI + 1 can OR... Roadie 20 + 2 cans..... OR...................

Now you just need something to launch those throwing stars at the bad guys following you...

What are those, anyway?

Just spacers to connect the upper rail and lower frame on the basket.

Nothing special today, still waiting on my capacitor to repair my Miller.

Front lollipop recovery point was designed and is sent off to a few companies for bidding.

EDIT---3/4" Grade 70. Pricing will be $85.00 a pair for red powder coat or 70.00 a pair bare metal. Prices include shipping. These will be available in 2-3 weeks.

Got @TonyP 200 in the shop today. I'll get the rear bumper and spare pulled tomorrow and get started. Have a little of shipping to do in the morning.

That garage is far too organized. Mine has metric sockets and box ends strewn throughout like an IED went off in my toolbox.

Yeti 35 + 1 jerry is perfect fit. Tire carrier studs and lugs arrived too.

Andrea had to go run an errand with one of her friends so I enjoyed an oatmeal stout and got the bumper an spare removed.

See ya'll tomorrow.

Man, I read back through the thread and was coming back to edit my question so as not to look silly.

And you beat me too it. Time for a cold beer.

Extra fuel and a yeti full of adult beverages. Sounds like a solid day trip setup.

TD suspensions arrived. Still digging through crates for the rear coils and rear shocks. But, here are the front 45mm bore adjustable COs.

Looks nice so far. Are you planning on being able to use the stock hitch or are you headed another direction for that?

On a side note, I see you are in Green River. I should have stopped by yesterday as I was traveling between Rock Springs and SLC.

Stock hitch will be utilized. He still needs to notch the rear for the receiver.

Very cool. I look forward to seeing how it turns out. I need to figure out what to do for a rear bumper/tire carrier.

Correct, I'll notch the bottom edge of the bumper so the factory hitch can receive tow chains. I'm almost dialed in on the bumper shell to hitch height. I want the bottom of the bumper shell to be the same as the hitch chain loops. This will allow there to be a continuous piece of metal on the same plane across the entire bottom (except a 1/4" gap between loops and shell). No cut out gaps to get hung on a rock or branch..

I'm usually always somewhere around. Give me a shout sometime.
