I would offer BL kit/s in a 1/2" and 1" version (aluminum).

I already have the pucks drawn (easiest part) and just waiting on more input and my experience for install and instructions.

The 1/2" can re-use the stock bolts best I can tell, while not having much impact on bumper/slider aesthetics and the 1" would need radiator stretch brackets and longer bolts, not to mention custom bumpers/brackets and sliders to make the mod look perfect. Which I will make mods for my new bumpers and re-weld my sliders to match.

I am really looking forward to these BL kits.

Got my Method front hub caps milled out and installed and made some rear shock guard/skids too.

Several sets of the shock guards were cut today and are available for purchase now.

Rear Shock Guards 100 Series

Made from 3/16" HSLA steel CNC cut and bent for accuracy Stop rock and road debris from pitting your shock piston rods. With a recessed design, it protects the shock bolt as well. This acts as a guard and a skid at the same time. Drilling required for install with supplied bit. The design reuses...

Installed the 1" BL and pulled the front cover to start building the new custom bumper. Sliders can now be finished as well. I sold my other set to another MUD member since I was adding a BL.

Made the radiator drop brackets and dropped the radiator as well and adjusted the steering shaft. All smooth and nothing hits anywhere now.

Got started on my new sliders. Someone asked if I welded the back sides of my sliders. I guess this isn't done by some fabricators????

Maybe referring to MT used to sell a step slider that was open in the back and gusseted. NLA.

Front is all tacked up. Complete 1/4" and 3/8" center section with 3/16" wings and bracing. Recessed soft shackle recovery pockets and recessed fairlead. This one will get a Red Winches Explorer 2 winch when they arrive from the UK.

Very nice! You are really making my parts look good with that awesome bumper underneath them. That thing is sweet!

 

[abuck99]

Yeah looks T O U G H

Between the body lift, the

LC Grill and Light buckets wide tall tires, the bumper compliments all of it- works together as a nice looking package. Changes the whole look of the 100.

Nice work Jason

Awesome—any plans for production of this bumper?

Yes I will. I have all the "pieces" in CAD now and just need to puzzle it all together and get the bend profiles dialed in. I'm hoping for a 30 day release on this one.

Thanks A,

I just wanted something different...... Most don't like my personal builds. But, this one just grew on me. It's been a bit since I kept smiling at a bumper after I finished it. I got the center section knocked out quickly, but the the first 3 wings attempts were dumped. They were all too high. I wanted a little more underneath protection on this design and hate seeing the washer bottle, etc. showing below the bumper. It kinda ruins the whole "high clearance" aspect of the concept.

Yes, this has the 1" body lift and will more than likely offer both a standard and 1" mod for this design. Same will happen for the rear.

It will get a lpw profile bullbar as well. THat is what I've always liked.

@TRAIL TAILOR ... You should consider doing this for a living. You're pretty good at this.
