OLE BLUE GET'S A MAKEOVER

[BIG DAVE]

Hey Dave,

I saw the drawing that you have of the bumper that you want to build for your truck... it's awesome. When you do get to building it I'd be interested in finding out how much it cost and maybe if you are up for it I could buy the material and you could build one for me since I'm up in Fairbanks I could just come down some weekend and get it... and of course send some $$ your way for your time. Let me know if you would be up for it.

George

*Edit: Oops didn't read the rest of the thread before posting... I see your bumper is coming along nicely.

yeah you mite be abull to work something out PM me and we'll talk

Looks nice Dave!
I built a heavy duty guard for my moms 94 CC and I never thought much about the mounting brackets. lol I have had the guard done for about 4 years but have never got around to designing the brackets required to mount it. I need to make 2 more of those guards too.

What gauge metal are you building it out of? Looks killer by the way.

it's 1/8th and the cetter is a peace of 2x8 3/8 c-channel i'm NOT goin to wheel this truck so i didn't see the need to use 1/4 for it and it help's with weight!

Gotcha, how heavy do you think it is right at this point? How did you fasten it to the frame? I also would be interested in a copy of your plans if you decide to go in that direction, got fab skills but not too much on the drawing/planning skills dept.

I votes ladder bars. I think they look better from the side than traction bars, IMO
