Boy, I wish I had the space you have to fabricate Benc! :(
I have a slightly larger than 1 car garage of which half is surfboards, wetsuits and surfing gear and the other half is my bench and tools. No place to really spread out and work.

Yeah, I got lucky. The house I bought last year has a 28x40 2 story shop.
 
The way a guy should build a house is:
1) Buy the lot
2) Build the garage, say about 4 car wide and 2 deep... And even a little more extra space for motorcycles, a lathe, mill, box and pan brake, tube bender, little welding corner and sports equipment!
3) THEN build the house around the garage!!:beer:

Picked up the new welder last night and man is it smooth! Should be able to get you guys some nice welds now. The first weld I laid out of the box before cleanup.View attachment 1018173

THANKS A LOT BENC!!!! THAT'S ANOTHER THING TO GET ME DOWN!!! :crybaby:
I wish I had the power to do nice clean welds like that!!!
I don't have 220 AC in my garage now where I live. All I have is 120 in my garage and a 10,000 watt generator, but it does not put out enough juice for heavy material when I use my plasma cutter, tig or mig. I wish I had the power to do nice clean welds like that!!!

That is a very nice looking weld.
 
Thanks guys. I am very fortunate to have found a house with a shop. It definitely makes fabricating much more fun. Next I would like to build a little welding/plasma room off the side with a fume extractor.

Here is the lower section all finished with the winch in and primed. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. What do you guys think of the over all design?

Love it !!
 
I LOVE it! It actually looks a little lighter than the ARB's and others. How much is it weighing in at?
Is it possible to have about 1.75" adjustment for a body lift??
 
Yeah the winch fits nice. I was really liking the larger holes in the front when I was bolting the light bar and winch fairlead on!

r2m- i still need to weigh it but I would say its probably around 75-85 lbs.
 
At 85 lbs. that's an awesome bumper. You got some skills man! :cheers:

I still need to figure out the body lift brackets. It should be pretty simple though. I plan on make a 1" body lift bracket for sure. With this design it would be pretty simple to accommodate any body lift.
