P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[Delton]

Looks great. I started taking pictures of my paperwork cause that stuff gets lost and damaged easy.

Great minds think alike...

And of course just when things look good.....You realize only 1 stick of 1" in inventory. On the plus side.....Confidence restored!!

I like em! Looks good

Passenger side done. Well it's a working model anyways lol. I'm sure refinements will come along. Time to start replicating.

Started on my passenger door. Lost the paper with all my bend measurements so had to start from scratch. No biggie just time consuming.

Booyah baby!! My notes were spot on. Whooped this puppy out with no problems (other than an idiot who can't read a tape measure). Made both halves and only 2" of excess scrap. That's efficient enough for me.

Are you going to put a brace on it or leave as is?

What do you mean by brace? I can make it however you want man.

I didn't remember how sturdy it was as is.. I didn't know if you were going to put a piece front to rear or top to bottom to stiffen it up.

It's sturdy as is. I pushed against mine couple times while leaning at the gulf the other day. And rode with my foot on bottom tube. Still debating running a middle tube. Might close up some of that open space. Hinges is what I need now. Our tractor supply is out. Don't want any with holes in them and needs to be thick and weldable.

Oh, yea, did you get the door so it would open more than it was?

No forgot about that. I'll work on it. You must take up more room than me cause I haven't had a problem with it yet lol

Lowe's carries the hinges I need. Wish I knew someone on the inside there.

Haven't touched anything pioneer today. Installed a winch on stepsons Rancher. Last time I don't buy a mount kit lol. Forgot how tight it was under a 4wheeler. Came out good though. Y'all meet him at Takeover.

My invention for the day. Makes mount a helluva lot stronger. I'm gonna redo mine and make it like this.

 

[elkguide]

You really are getting good!!!!

 

[Delton]

Got rear harnesses installed. Now my stepson and wife will be safer for the takeover. Just remove top straps and it all tucks under the bed.
