Yup. She came home to my pathfinder in peices and hauled me to work all week. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Started to weld up the bumper last night. Gotta make some light mounts and burn some more wire then off to the paint booth. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Thanks. I spent more time than i wanted but i love the end result. Cant wait to wrap up and start the back now! Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Correct. Ill end up with full skids as well. Here its all rocks so protection is a must. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Imagine coming up to a large lip. The bumper acts like a "slide" to get the front wheels up on it. Same going down a sterp hill. Plus it looks super cool. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Had to add that Texas flare of course... Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

So i broke down and got a real notcher. No way i was gonna free hand those joints. My backs feeling great thanks to Dr painkillers so now im close. Cpl gussets tomorrow and start welding it all up. I nvr thought i would need a week for a pipe winch bumper, but i sit humbled. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

I found a set of 33s on yota wheels for 460. 75% tread. Gonna grab em tomorrow. Im a cheap bastard. Still wanna sell the take offs though. No room for spare wheel sets. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Got all the bends and notches done up front. Man its hard when your nursing a hurt body. On a side note however, i have the bfg at's im tsking off. Ehats a fair price 30x9.5x15 on stock chrome wheels? Every penny goes towards new parts right? Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Ive seen cars with big owners sag a inch on drivers side. Im 6'2" and 360 so my experience is first hand. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

See, i like the smokey mnt area. Im from north east ohio but love texas for its lack of snow. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Jyeager- you live here in the austin area? Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Im moving slow and hurtin bad. My budfys going to help me bend the rest up tonight. Our bender is not hydraulic so it takes some serious ass to pull it. Im doing what i can but feeling defeated. Also our lexus rad cracked a plastic tank yesterday. So theres that.... Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

The winch mount was tricky. I wanted a fully unboltable assembly and strong to boot. Ill take pics of the mounts after i fully weld it on the bench. I used factory top mounts as well as the "stub" mounts below and tow hooks on the lower core support. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Spent all day fixing my pc former my software to bend up the tubing. On the plus side it was 107 in the shop. Hope to have the bumper paint ready tomorrow night then stRt the rear. Any one seen any good tube rears i can use for inspiration? Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

So i started my throwdown by slipping a disc in my back!!! However, i refuse to be stopped so i did what i could today. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Sliders are a must here in central texas. I have my own idea how they sould be on unibodys so ill make sure and post pics this week of the plans best as i can Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

So i scored a couple solid axles today. One being a 03 taco rear with electric locker! Ill save these for winter, however now i wont be makig a sfd. My spacer lift should be here soon( thanks fluery) and ill spend this week on mostly all the metalfab and painting that needs done as well as some other odds and ends. One wuestion, my 15x8 wheels have 3.75 backspace. Will 33 on these clear the strut? Idk about rubbing elsewhere. I got a swzall and a good mig welder. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Awesome build. I read the whole thing like a crackhead at work today. Lots of ideas i had ive seen done and its great to motivate. My low buck build starts tomorrow. Now im jonesing to go! Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk

Fair enough. I tend to overthink up front and under think under the welding hood. Worked so far. I dig your rig cdn. Very much my goal. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk
