Sure thing, although it is not stock. It is a very close match.

I also have the original rear crossmember I chose to remove as PO apparently hooked tow strap to it and bent it all to hell.

I shouldn't have that problem with this one as it is about 1/4" thick.;)

I have the exact same problem with the crossmember.

I'm not looking for stock bumpers anyways, just like the looks og this one and would appreciate the dimensions so i could make a copycat ;)

Improvising enough already so some dimensions would be nice for at least one part :lol:
 
Klaufi...I have measurements but left them in shop. Will post them up tomorrow.

Leave you with some pics of my 70's aprons. Yes, I know shouldn't go on an 81 but I just like them so much I did it anyway. Found the aprons on eBay and the lights here on mud classifieds :)

Nice build mate, is tehre any chance you could shoot me the dimensions of that rear bumper?

3/16" guage rear crossmember

60 3/4" L x 4" H (o.d.) x 3 1/4" W (Top Edge)

When I say top edge I'm referring to the side that rear tub mounts to. Mine was originally only about 2 1/4" and I had to add 1" to accomodate body mounts.

Bottom Edge sould be 2 1/4".

Thanks!

2.5" OME Dakars. I suspect it will settle with time.

17x8 rims with 285/70 KM2's

No spacers yet but haven't driven a mile on them yet either. No real experience yet.

great, I just bought AEV 17 x 8 rims that I want to install and I am running 2.5" OME heavys and like the look of yours, what is approx measurement in inches in width and height? I was wanting something right around 33 x 11-12"

thanks

I can pull a tape on them later but I believe that is exactly what it measures out to .... 33 x 11.50

There are some conversion calculators on the web ive used before.
 
Awesome Build

Awesome build, thanks for sharing really gives me some inspiration on my bucket of rust and bolts.

You'll be "Cruising in Style" in no time. :D

Thanks for all the info on specific resources.
 
Have you figured out the title situation yet?
 
Have you figured out the title situation yet?

No, still haven't worked out title. May have to spend some $$$ and use mainelytitles.com or plead with PO to order duplicate title.

Waiting to get it running as I will need to get it inspected by local Sherrif's office first.
