Trail Tailor Offerings- Racks, Sliders, Control Arms and Misc (7 Viewers)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Amazed...I forsee a new expo rack in my future...hoping to see bumpers from you for the 100 in the future.

As most know my designs are simple, but extremely functional and strong. Not sure if/when I will get into the 100 series bumpers.

It's been over a year with me looking for a 100 series donor. I've even offered free armor and have had plenty of people say yes, but never follow through. Main issue is I need the rig for about 3 weeks to really dig in. It takes a lot of time to do it right, make templates, jigs and documents and photograph every step of the way.

Did you get someone lined up for the armor measurements? Three weeks is a while to be without a rig but if you still need help with this let me know and I can probably sort something out.

Yes, I have a few guys that are signed up and measurements have been received. I am finalizing the mount drawings this week.

All racks are bent out, rails are cut to length and notched. I will be bending slider tube and making frame legs in my spare time over the next week or two. I even have an AHC slider participant.

Slider rub rails and racks are all bent out for the R&D group.

Adjustable mount design will go to the laser cutter on Friday for production.

Design of the rack mounts are sent off to the laser cutter. I should have an approval review on them this coming week.

All main rails for the sliders are cut, u-bolts should be close to being finished up and shipped out by the end of next week, waiting on final confirmation on the rub rail to main rail gusset plates.

Things are coming together nicely. Thanks again for all the interest.

NON-AHC slider jig is built and awaiting parts from the laser cutter.

I will build another jig for the AHC version. Should have it finished in the next 1-3 weeks.

Sorry for the bad pics, there is 1/2" of ice up the drive and to the shop... Just grabbed them and got them indoors. Nothing like busting your A$$ on ice carrying 4 of these rails. OUCH!

HA! all part of the job...............

A few sets of main rails mitered and ready for build.

The racks themselves will be exactly like my other series racks. The mounts will be an adjustable pedestal style. 6 mounts per rack system. I've been back and forth all day with my laser company on the mounts and the slider tread plates.

The tread plates will be offered as a under belly skid or as a top foot tread. Customer has the option.

Hardware arrived for mounts and plates. (proper allen/hex wrenches are supplied with the full rack kits too)

All items have been approved for production at the laser cutter. I hope to know a completion date today or tomorrow.

Thanks all,

Just heard back from the laser cutters. It will be 3 weeks on everything I've ordered for the sliders and racks. They said they would push every chance they get for me. As soon as the order is complete I will drive to Salt Lake and pick it up.

Looks like from where I have things sitting now, I will need 3-5 days to complete the 5 racks and 4 sets of sliders for the R&D group. Once I get the parts in, QC-dimension the parts and build out. I will continue to update as I build and ship.

Thanks,

Jason

No, I'm pretty limited on my Solidworks capabilities. I can draw individual parts pretty decent, but that's top level for me currently.

Basically they are a rect tube with a round tube attached to the outside of that with the above tread/spanner/skid plates.
