Spenedwrds build #3

Had today off so I picked up a switch and some wire from autozone and wired up my led light bars. I'll post output shot later when the sun goes down

Found a local guy trying to start a offroad fabrication business. Got him to do some sliders for me. Got a few coats of primer on them and painting this weekend. 220 for fab install and paint not bad. Here's some night pics with primer I'll post finished shot later

I told him id tell others about him. So if anyone is interested in some sliders let me know I can see if he wants to do a batch or something

They look good, but is there no support for the outer tubing. Are you worried about that at all?
 
Were gonna put some plate in the middle he couldn't get some plate until yesterday and I need my car so I'm going to take it back this weekend. Kinda why it's just primered for now just to keep from surface rusting

Any chance he would help me straighten out my tjm? its been jacked uo for about 7 years after hitting a full sized school bus at 25 mph. Folks around here are bsing me, hahaha.
 
Would you mind linking to where you got your roof rack? I've searched on amazon and ebaymotors and can't seem to find it just typing "big country roof rack"

<---- to get your attention.
ive got the same bumper with led on the bottom too. but mine are the 4" rounds from amazon. i run them with my head lights as fogs. stupid bright.
im planning on doing a BL this summer. 1.5" tho and was thinking you could just re drill the 6 bolt holes and move it all up 2",
what were you thinking?

Yea I think you could too. I was thinking you could just ad a peice of sheet metal to the mounting points and then just measure up from there. I don't see why it would be that hard. But idk I'm going to get him to look at it and fill in a few of the holes around the winch plate and the top to fill everything in.
 
And [MENTION=106228]Deaccon[/MENTION] I got it off Craigslist so I have no idea where to get it. Although I did find it a while back. I'll look again. But the price was like 450 bucks I think. Kinda steep I thought haha

yeah i plan on doing the same thing with some cardboard soon. then cut out in real metal and tack weld in place. i really dont like the whole open from above part. going to make a 6ft by 6" wrap around piece and drop in form the top to cover all that. should be fun!

keep taking pictures. ill do the same.

Yea man I was thinking the same. Have a few pics of some tacoma guys that have filled it all it and it just cleans it a little more so u don't see everything behind it. For sure

i just painted everything black for now. holding up really well and makes it blend is super nice now. makes the bumper stand out rather than seeing all the silver body innards behind it.

what did you do for turn signals?
