Howdy,
Maybe I'm just not putting the right keywords together but I wasn't able to find much of anything on this topic in here.
I've got a 2000 LX 470, for which I'm looking to make my own armor. I'll leave the #1 cover for now because of the complexity of the contours, but given that I purchased the vehicle at auction for what amounts to a bag of peanut shells, I'm just treating it as a DIY project. it's missing the #2 cover, the transfer case plate, etc. I'd like to skip a step and put some underside armor on him. I've been enjoying the couple concurrent steel projects I've got going at the moment, and was thinking about fabricating my own armor panels.
Does anyone have any intel on thickness and reinforcing components on armor, the likes of ARB and such? I just don't have prior experience with this this, and can't determine from their websites if they are purely just plates, or plates reinforced with bars or C-channel, anything like that.
Thank yall in advance for any info!
