Homemade....Let's see what you've made

[cj80cruiser]

Just looking for pics, ideas, etc... on some home grown ideas. Anything goes from bumpers to swaybar end links. If you made it then post it up.

But remember :worthless

This...

And some small stuff....

 

[cj80cruiser]

That's a pretty nice storage box. Are those maglight holders made for it or is that from something else?

 

[BigFishAllDay]

They're just the standard mag light clips you can buy...

Pretty much everything on my truck is homemade:

front bumper, rear bumper, skid plate, cargo box, and probably some other stuff too.

Pics are in my build thread:

More to come in the near future:

Homemade snorkel and roof rack.

I built a few things in my day...

My roof rack and electric fan set up is the biggest. and then cargo box. Then I had a custom bumper made..

There is so much ingenuity on this forum, it's impressive. Truly remarkable.

[J-money$$$]

Upper links. I have my own, but these were for Driffter33

Lower links .250 wall dom

Full set of tube doors, But i never have used the backs.

Belly pan, and plate on stock gas tank skid

Modified cj5 roll bar. Its not too functional just a good holder for the co2, tire and highlift

Rear bumper.
prior to side wings just as i finished the main welding

I dont have many good pictures But this is the best I have in its current state

Im sure theres more, but thats it for now, Enjoy

Bumper and roof rack...Thinking about buying a spool gun so I can weld aluminum and make a different rack out of aluminum...

I build all of my own stuff (bumpers, sliders, etc). I don’t have a garage, so I use the shop where I work. Besides for the lift, all the tools I use are the standard stuff you would find in any home garage.

My trailer has taken more time and thought than all of my other stuff combined.

I started with this…

And after a little over a year I have this, it’s not done but getting close.

 

[jmt2404]

You have some good skills dirtco. I'm hoping with my new welder and pipe bender I can start on my own custom bumpers and sliders soon.. The trailer is definately on lmy list as well.. Great job man!

I thought it would be a fun thread and looked forward to viewing it when I got back from work tonight. I wasn't disappointed at all.

I'll be building a rear bumper in the near future...hopefully it won't take me as long to get that finished as it did with that removable interior tire carrier I recently finished, lol.

I know there are some guys out there like me that don't possess the same level of skills as the posters above but don't let that stop you from posting up.
