Building a bumper...

[Stang5lgt]

Not yet - possibly in April sometime. I've got nothing to weld on those axles yet anyhow.

What I DO have is a hitch STILL sitting in my garage... I haven't put much time in to figure out how to get that dang rear bumper off yet.

To keep this thread on track, that bumper is friggin' nice dude! I'm very interested to see how you rig up the fairlead.

I think I figured out the fairlead last night. I need to do my D tabs too. And pick up some more plate.

Well get busy punk-arse. You going to make it out to LeftHand sat?

I think I might be interfering with plans to go, since I'm swinging by for some help...

 

[DutchVDub]

Most likely, but what can you expect from a yellow eyed desert scavenger?

You still going to come up next SAT so I can build those axles? We going to be putting any lockers in while we're at it?

 

[Stang5lgt]

I have a lot work to do Sat. I have LA to work on. Tire Carrier to finish. I am down to my last piece of plate so I need to pick some up Sat morning. And hopefully get some gas so I don't have to use this damn flux core chit. I am really starting to hate it.

VERY interested in how that tire carrier project turns out....

[Stang5lgt]

You will see it soon.

Yes and yes! Lockright's front and rear. I've already got the rear completely assembled in the carrier for the D44, but the D30 will need to be swapped over because of the carrier break.

Stang - If that tire carrier comes out even half as cool as the front bumper I predict you'll have a few orders coming in... one from me for sure!

With any luck it should look real nice.

Got my D tabs on.

 

[Frank Z]

Did you tie them into the bumper mounts?

 

[Stang5lgt]

Did you tie them into the bumper mounts?

Yes sir.

Good, now go drink beer.

 

[Stang5lgt]

Good, now go drink beer.

I need to get some. I drank my last one couple nights ago. :tears:

 

[Frank Z]

Thanks. Well I decided to do a bolt on fairlead. I got some 10" channel I going to cut and bolt it to bumper with the winch. That way I can remove it and not have a fairlead still there.
