when youre getting ready to off-load 'the beater', give me a call! nice start on some stout protection. do you have a sketch of that bumper/tire carrier that you could send my way? that is just about perfect for what i would like on mine.

Nope, no sketches or anything. If you look through my thread on mud you can see how its all put together. Its really just 3 pieces of tube, 2 shackle mounts/bushings, a big threaded rod/nut, and some scrap 1/4". We used a shitty princess auto kinker with modified dies to do the bends which came out perfect. Took us a day and a half to make.

If you need specific pics let me know and Ill set ya up.

if you can send some close ups with rough measurements, that would be great! are the pix earlier on in the link you posted? if they are in another post, could you send the link?

thanks darwin

lee

ill see what I can do man.

yeah the whole tire thing build is somewhere in that thread. To tell you the truth we just went with the flow and bitched the whole thing together.....

on the fly engineering, cant be beat!!

much appreciated darwin.

Thought Id post some updates.

Sliders are welded on and turned out alright. Also painted the new to me rear hatch and got it put on. Paint turned out ok for a garage job.

She needs a lift now, looks like a low rider.





The old hatch.
