Not alot has happened since my last report. Got an axle popping awaiting repacking since my trek up Dragons back. I've been working on a couple of projects.

My front bumper was being a b*tch to get off so in a fit of rage I took a sawzall to it lol. Got a ride coming up in November so guess now's a good time to make good on that front tube bumper. Plenty of airflow and top mount winch are priorities. Stay tuned.

It's okay if you're not a fan of these. To be honest it's not my cup of tea either. But several have asked for them so who am I to turn my back on a few bucks? Lol. That rear section kinda throws it all off somehow. If it was me I'd just make entire bed section out of tubing. Wait a minute...it IS me!!! Lol. Guess I'll add that to the winter project list too.

Pretty soon you are going to have a rail buggy! HA!

You can bet your last dollar if that frame is ever bent beyond repair, full tube buggy would be the plan lol

Got started on bumper. This is what I came up with first.

 

[Delton]

Realized I didn't like the 90 after a suggestion by Todd I changed it to this.

Long ways to go but its a start. Got tons of reinforcing to do.

Can't wait to see it done

How will it come off if you need to replace the plastics?

Looks good Delton. Have you thought about expanded metal for radiator protection?

Me too man! I'm sorta making this stuff up as I go along lol

Top tubes will bolt up at bungs on a-pillars. Whole thing will unbolt and pull forward.

That my friend is a good idea. Winch will sit back from front tubes so its protected. Ill mock up some expanded later to see how it looks.

 

[Delton]

Main goal is airflow to radiator. Looking like that won't be a problem

 

[Delton]

Tape measure will give ya an idea of angle bash plate will have. Its gonna be 1/4" so it'll be strong. And removable.

[Delton]

That's a 30 degree angle so that should be plenty. Also gave me a reason to use my new handy dandy anglefinder lol.
