P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[CumminsPusher]

Or what do you think about mounting one of my vertical supports right at the buttweld? There should be enough weld strength there to make it strong enough. Opinions?

Delton, you're going to have to start a fab shop. You could call it Turkey f***ers Offroad.

Yea, that would work for him...lol

Ya know that idea isn't totally ridiculous. The idea has crossed my mind. Not full time, just on the side. Be hard to find someone that enjoys it as much as me. I could probably swing one of those benders with an income tax refund lol. I was toying with "Sky's the Limit" for a business name. But Turkey f***ers has a certain appeal.

Actually you should have your own shop and hire me for an apprentice. We could rack up on those RZR owners making cages.

A lot more fun not turning a hobby into a job! Learned that with the drag strip...

Good advice! I learned that about body and paint.

I can't imagine not ever enjoying working around metal. I need to work some overtime now and restock my supplies now that I know where to buy it locally. My poor pitiful welding cart was made from scraps lol.

The store bought ones never have stuff where I want it. That's why I like home made ones. I've either gotta add another deck to mine or just start over so I can add space for plasma cutter.

Here's full picture of where I'm currently at. Loving it so far.

EMP has a rear bumper that allows her to dump without removing. I'm gonna print off the instructions so I can borrow some ideas lol

The emp rear bumper attaches at the pivot point for the tail gate, and a couple bolts under the bed. And uses bent 1/4" flat bar as the bracket coming out to mount the bumper to. With a large half circle cut in the bracket just above the lower rops bar for clearance to dump the bed.

That's badass. I would take one with a right of center spare tire carrier, hint hint.

Couple good pics of bracket itself and installation pics would be awesome. You da man! For the record, I won't be copying this design. Not did I copy the Strongmade design. Although similar, it has several distinct differences. Mainly to boost mount strength. (My attorney suggested me making this statement).

You want carrier on the bumper itself? A drawing or 2 would be helpful.
