It's my wife's truck. The Metaltech sliders and 4x4 Labs rear bumper are also purple. The springs are pink and the backing plates are yellow. Her decorating, not mine.

shouldn't you be working on a bumper instead?

All you man! Let me know on the bar/s and I'll get it finished up.

I rescued one from an ignominious life. My goal is to do a little fixing and reconditioning, then sell it (see the for sale section, it's already posted.) But my wonderful wife is already trying to figure out how we can sell the '09 Accord that we are upside down in and keep the '92. I have a great wife.

That makes for a surprising grab handle. I wonder where it would end up when this happens?

in your skull with your brain.

I dont think it will be that bad (famous last word LOL) I did a couple miles of Chuckwalla and some very steep loose section one section pictured above. Not a place you want trouble so Im researching the remaining trail on Google earth for piece of mind.

I went this far on Chuckwalla- Google Maps

Solo travel out there is certain death in the summer if anything catastrophic should leave you without wheels/com. Next time you're in the area hit me up as I'm not too far away.

Lights on, nobody's home?

It can be quite frightening seeing what ends up where in a roll over. One of the reasons I think those 'baby on board' plaques originally became popular.

Exactly, Im from Phoenix and worked outside most of my life so Im 100% on top of heat.
Do you know the trails Im looking to run?
Presidents weekend Im in Mexico other than that Im ready. PM me, let me know what works and Im all in.

Has anyone ever built something like this as a rear swing out?

Yes. Want to say @jcardona1 or @AMMO or ...... had something similar. But I think it swung down.

Oops maybe some of these types:
Swing down tyre carrier?
Swing UP tire carrier --any out there?

Just fixed a shaky mirror. The passenger mirror wiggled and wabbled as it traveled down the road. So, I researched and read. The YouTube video was really helpful.

So, removed the mirror.

So then I used the "wire and heat" method. Instead of a coat hanger, I used a finishing nail.

Which I carefully shaped with precision,

Precision measures

And then I used the heat and stick method.

And then I molded epoxy puddy around the nail and wha- la.

My mirrors are awful, I need to do that!

If I remember correctly the skid plate is the coup de grâce?

What is the mount on the driver side of the bumper? Hammock mount?

 

[cruiserdan]

Correct you are. Hammock.
