@TonyP has the first dibs on the first set if he prefers over the standard for his custom armor build that will start in the next 2 weeks.

Yup, I'll go for the full tread plates. I dig it for sure.

Front and rear bumper profiles were bent today and I should have them on Monday to start a custom build.

@TonyP 200 was picked up and is waiting its turn for custom bumpers, sliders, rack and skid plates. Maybe a few other items pending our time lines.

I'm stoked! Can't wait to get it back all armored up. Guess I'll be driving one of my neglected BMWs for a while. Just in time for this 70 degree weather, all windows open, a lovely 5-speed/straight-6 and the smell of a leaking gas tank vapor hoses; a BMW owners dream.

One of my old Chevron bosses was a BMW crazy... He had a few really nice tuned up T2000s and a CS Nova. But, his true baby IIRC, was a 1957 BMW 507 he had brought over from England.

In my opinion, the 507 is probably the best looking car BMW has ever made. Too bad they're valued about $1.9M on Hagerty . I'll have to stick with my three 80s era moneypits for now.

I think he said he got it at auction for 1.3m back in 2004/5. I never got to see it in person, just pics parked in his shop next to the other BMWs he had. Nice little roadster.

Very nice - looking forward to watching this..... loving the rear panhard BTW - it should be standard part of any larger lift...

E,

I was wondering if you got it installed. They are a BEEFY unit. I love mine on the 100.

Waiting for a truck this morning I got to look at the tailgate storage.

Easy enough and think this will happen for sure @TonyP I'll be modifying 2 of my other tailgate lids for this. One for your rig and the other to go to the laser cutter for production. I'll pop the cover and drawers out next week and start digging in more at night after bumper and skid work.

Rigid LEDs arrived as well.

Jealous of @TonyP !!

 

[NLScooby]

Is that metal?
That looks very well built if you need the strength there...
...but to me I'm picturing burnin my butt something terrible in hot summer sun, and screws/bullets that roll off.

What do you think?

It looks like Aluminum. I guess you shouldn't wear your thong swimsuit when out shooting then, eh?

Ha! loled at that one. I shall forego the thong...

Someone did do a very nice job on that setup.

They are 6061 T6 aluminum. I make them for the 60, 80 and 100 series... so why not the 200. its been hell trying to buy a used 200 tailgate.

Some guys leave bare, some polish, some carpet over, some powder coat.... all depends on what the purpose is for/intended.

[TonyP]

You could glue some carpet on top.
