Christo Slee's disjointed comment and pictures Thread (1 Viewer)

Of what? The rear is on a pallet on the shelving in the back of the shop, the front is in my head

Of the rear dual pivot.

We are also working on a dual pivot rear, however the modular part comes with the items that can be bolted to the 2nd swingout. It will not be modular in terms of adding a swingout later.

Any chance that your current rear bumper can be economically machined to support the dual swingouts?

Figured I would update this thread on the front bumper while asking Christo a question which maybe others might want to know.

Are the slee sliders(step/tube) compatible with the front OEM mudflaps?

 

[yooper]

The answer is no, but the step slider replaces the mudflap function for the most part.

Bumper looks good!

So hows that coming along?

Thats too funny, when the shots were taken from 93 there were trucks out front, but if you look on Pine Ridge the trucks are gone.

Not so much a spy photo, but tossing in a Slee related photo for the thread. My son and Bluberry

 

[1loudLX]

is that from the rising sun meet?

 

[SWUtah]

This thread is worthless without pictures of naked women

 

[BMWSTOY]

Yep, Rising Sun Meet.
I was hoping to see a lift and compare mine side by side, but no luck - very few 100's.
I did see the belly pans on a 470, very impressive.
Also saw lots and lots of FJCuisers and I still want one.

any front bumper updates?

 

[sleeoffroad]

We revised the center section and designed a new wing and made a mock-up. Now we are modeling it and should have something in a week. However it is still a bit away from production, but we are actively working on it.

The problem is that we tried to do a computer model, then make a prototype and put it on the truck. It works, but the looks does not always come out the way you think it should. This is probably more frustrating to me than anyone, but we believe the bumper has to match the looks of the vehicle and still be functional.

I will post updates when we have them.

 

[1loudLX]

christo, do you have a 100 series 3D model mocked up also? So when you do the bumper designs you can fit them on the truck in 3D? If not I think I could get one made for you.

 

[sleeoffroad]

No, we did not have a 3D of the truck. That would help a ton.

 

[1loudLX]

DAMN, I wish I had known. Me and a few guys used to model cars for computer games, I'll see if we can put together something.

Christo: Do you have a price estimate for the front bumper??


Thanks

 

[sleeoffroad]

No price yet. Metal prices are way to volatile to project a price right now.

 

[yoter100]

Not even a rough estimateeee??!


oh, and any idea of the weight compared to other bumpers like arb, tjm etc??




Thanks

Slee, the front half of the truck is almost done. I just need to know what type of file format you guys use on the program.

Are you guys modeling the front with or without the bumper? Any chance you can flow me a copy? Any file format is fine (Solidworks, Inventor, UG, step, sat).
