Pezzy Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 So, I have been sans pathy for a few weeks, as we've been working hard on it, getting it ready for the trails... Installed Warn Manual Hubs and a Warn M8000 winch (no pics), and built a custom rear bumper/tire carrier & rock sliders: Rear Tire Carrier: Main Bumper: Slave Labour: Swing gate on, and tire carrier started... Now back to work! Finished Product! (just gotta get that muffler bent and tucked up, before I tear it off a la rock) Sliders: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUELER Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 1. how the hell can one diagonal metal tube hold a full size spare under the stresses of hardcore offroading (jumps, etc) 2. are you not scared of people stealing your spare? 3. Looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 1. how the hell can one diagonal metal tube hold a full size spare under the stresses of hardcore offroading (jumps, etc) theres one bar straight up, and then the diagonal for support 2. are you not scared of people stealing your spare? Not overly, but lock nuts will help with that 3. Looks good! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLApathy Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 wow that thing is awesome what kinda steel did you guys and girls use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herm Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Very Nice! That has the attributes I prefer: 1. square stock, not tube. 2. No loss of departure angle with the reciever hitch, and fully boxed in and welded. 3. Recovery points for shackles offset just enough so you can leverage the rear if you need to cross-pull it. Thos are about twice as beefy as needed.... 4. Clean side wings. 5. Spare and jerry can, CB antennae, all nicely tucked up and away. Can you add Hi-Lift studs on the angled piece? 6. Overbuilt, but not too much so! The simple triangle for the spare is nice, extra gussetting at the base... looks like you really thought this through. Now how about making another? Or hook up with Marcel for a canadian pathy build fest? This has probably been covered elsewhere - but do we really need the second muffler on our exhausts? Now how about making another? Now how about making another? Now how about making another? Now how about making another? Now how about making another? m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmorgan4 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hopefully one of the companies planning on coming out with these can take some ideas from this. I couldn't tell from the pictures on my computer since they all looked dark, but do you have any picture of what you did for the side "wings"? Looks awesome.

Pezzy Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 what kinda steel did you guys and girls use 3/16" in a bunch of different sizes, although the sides are a bit thinner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 and a lil off topic, what kinda of bilsteins are those, how much and do you like the??? 5100's, they are what came with the AC lift... I like em... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 but do you have any picture of what you did for the side "wings"? this one gives you a better idea... basically one flat piece cut to shape and welded to the end of the main bumper piece there -- on the back side of the flat piece, it it bolted to the body. Then there's one fidgety piece added to kinda finish the top/back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Can you add Hi-Lift studs on the angled piece? I dont have a hi-lift so it wasnt in the planning, but with a bit of work we could add that if I ever do want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
