P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

That's gonna look good and be a real attention getter.

Pulled it outside for a better view. Still happy with it so far.

Thanks bud. Been wanting to do this for a while. So when I had to cut my other one to get it off, that sorta sealed the deal lol. Hoping it'll go well with my rear tube bumper.

More pieces of the puzzles solved. The engineering is always the hardest. Get all that out of the way and the rest (mostly bracing) is easy.

You can really "touch someone from behind" now!!!!

Looks like a P5 on steroids

Looks like all kinds of lightbar mounts to me lol

Since my wife never looks at this forum I feel safe saying this. My wife likes it when I hit it from behind.

Yeah I can see that! 2 12 inch bars one on top of the other just directly above the lower horizontal bar would be cool!

What I was thinking also. One I've had for couple years is just under 24" so may have to place it higher up but still in front. Then one lower aimed low.

Tubes across top of front-end would make good base for a removable rack.

Getting down to little stuff. Hoping to have it finished by next weekend.

Looks great! Makes me glad I don't have a tubing bender... the trouble I could get myself in to...

Yeah but its a good kinda trouble lol. Seriously most fun tool I've ever owned. Limitless possibilities. I already got another idea for a 2nd one lol. Btw it was even more fun before metal went crazy high on prices

 

[Delton]

For s***z n giggles I jumped on lower horizontal support while it was still just tacked. Solid as a rock. Can't wait to try it out after I'm done bracing it.

Looks good, the only concern I'd have is hitting the bumper on obstacles before the leading edge of the tires.

You mean catching front tire first? This is no worse than most front bumpers out there. Area around headlights is unprotected but ain't worried about it. I dislike a lot of tubing running all over front. Especially in headlight area.

Killer idea for spare tire mount on the way soon. But right now only for 3ps or 5 seaters without rear cage. Just waiting for my rops bolt on clamps to arrive. Seen a rzr at RRB with one and love the idea. Spare will lay flat above the bed horizontally. No taking up bed space or hanging off back to hit something.

I had to cut back my RD bumper 1.5" to get my 28" tires to hit obstacles before the bumper. It was worth every bit.
