Just wondering if you were planning on making more of these to sell?

I wasn't really considering that, ..i may sell this one if i decide to make another one. It's just a lot of work even though the design is fairly simple.

....thanks guys for the compliments BTW!:

good lookin' stuff man- would love to see it in person sometime when i get back in the northern va area... good luck finishing it!

Nice welds :bigok: What welder are you using? I'm going to get a Millermatic 252 MIG unit this spring. Got alot of projects like this I want to do, and cant do them without a welder. I've wanted one for years, just couldnt swing it. Well, I'll be able to this spring with the tax return!! No more having to borrow a welder or go somewhere to use someone elses lol.

thanks, it's a Lincoln 125. It handles the type of jobs i want to do pretty well. Good luck in your endeavors.

Great, great job. Let me know if you make more to sell. I pm'ed you.

 

[jeremysoca]

WOW!

All I can say is WOW! You have some mad skills. How much time do you have in building this? If you were to "market" something like this, how much would you charge?

Kudos to you

 

[crozhawk]

sorry but no real plans to make more of em. no time. I may sell this one in the future if i get the bug to make another one. I'll post it here if it comes to that.

thanks for the compliments though!! :bigok:

THAT looks awesome! Very nice job. I want one.

I noticed that the supports welded to the frame go right through the plastic bumper cover. Did you remove the whole cover for this project? If so, do you remember where all the bolts are located?

Also nice job with painting the rear fender cladding. I am guessing this is to match the front winch bumper?

Thank you and again: Looks sweet.

Thanks and yes, you definitely have to take the cover off to get to the frame. All you need is a 10mm ratchet/socket and a phillips head screwdriver to remove the rear bumper cover. Comes off very easily.

I hit the rear bumper so when I got a new one, i decided to just paint this one with the truck bed liner stuff and keep my new one nice and pristine while I tried this project.

we're not worthy :xnuts:

Seriously that is a great piece of work. Are you sure you don't want to make more/ sell some schematics?
