Bought a pile of steel

[import silvia]

Well it time to apply current to steel and try to build this thing.

The final design will be modified as reality dictates, but I plan to keep as much of the design as possilbe. I am just building the bumper sections right now. I will add the carriers and brush gaurd at a later date. I go ahead and take pics of the progress.

Measurements and drawings would also be awesome. Looking forward to hearing more.

Get a before and after weight on the truck. The local stone quarry should have some nice drive on scales for a quick measurement.

You might want to consider a single can turned sideways on the right swingaway with a ladder on the same arm to access the rack. One can is usually enough and additional cans can go on the rack, making gravity fuel feed easier. Just a thought. That's how I'm setting up my ride.

Good luck! post pics as you go!

also, isn't it a better option to have tire on pass side? to help offset lean? just a thought.

Man both the fron and rear bumper look familiar. Maybe like the JK Customs design.

I second this as well. I'd give my left nut to be able to build myself a front bumper like that with bars that come up ARB-style.

I'll document the process and costs. So far it is about $100 in raw steel just to build the bumpers without any of the carriers or brush gaurds.

The front bumper is a rather blatant, uh I mean it was inspired by JK. I did not take measurements of it or anything though, just saw some pics a few months back. The rear bumper and everything else was completely my design, I just wanted the whole package to look right together.

Spook, let me see what it takes to get this one done. Adding an ARB style upper should not be too difficult. In fact adding all sorts of different ancilary protection to the base bumpers and sliders should not be too difficult.
