So this is one of my favorite websites to visit and dream! The dealership sells to the NGOs.

Working on a dust light/back up/FU light bracket. The goal is to use factory spoiler mounting fasteners. Still some work to do.

I wanted a bracket like that for some time now. I think JW offroad make similar brackets for the 470

Turbo or non turbo diesel?

Right! Choices.

JW does, that’s where I stole the idea. Working on prototype V 2.0 this weekend. Bent up V 2.0 Tuesday, need to locate fastener holes and trim as necessary. Left and right will be a mirror image. I think

I really like this idea. I may also adjust this idea to accommodate the new backup camera for our 470.

*edit*
On second thought after looking I’ll just do lights. The camera would sit way too far to one side. Gotta find a spot for that damn camera at some point.

One step closer! All bent up and next in the queue for welding.

Will you be making them to sell or just for your build? Can you do a write up on the installation process? Thanks bud!

If you can post some photos of your back of your rig on your build thread, I'd like to take a look at possible locations for your backup camera. Maybe offer an idea or two?? Albeit, you'll still need to route come wiring, but that's easy.

Once I figure out the design and come up with a final version I may end up fabricating some and selling them. Just depends on material costs and time involved to reproduce. If I decide to sell a full write up and installation will be part of the write up.

Once I get the bumper, will do. I plan to install it pre powder coating to ensure I don't want or need to customize it to my liking so that would be a great time to figure out the camera.

Also planning where to locate dunes flag fastener hole and possibly a HAM antenna location. More than likely fabricating my own jerry can holder/Maxtrax holder.

LFD rear bumper update!

Welded up rear bumper, swing outs require a bit more work. Getting closer!!

Hopefully shipping soon.

Are you doing all the welding yourself?
Good on ya! If you are!!

I wished I had that skill set! Nope LFD has been fantastic on updating me of the process. Best customer service I’ve had so far with smaller fab companies!

 

[Washingtontaco]

Just received this picture and text from LFD Offroad, waiting on some hardware but should ship by the end of the week!
With shipping and winter weather I should have it by the end of the month.

Pins & needles!!!

 

[Washingtontaco]

Been a bit side tracked lately. Working on a clients brackets for a 4Runner. Had to tear apart part of the garage for a new garage door. Took a ski trip to Lake Tahoe. Finally restore the garage, post door installation.

 

[Washingtontaco]

While in Tahoe I was lucky enough to get a free upgrade to a Infinity QX 80. Love the V8 but she is a wide ride.

While finally starting to restore my garage R&L carriers dropped this off.
