damn, well keep a look out...

 

Great build!! Congrats and regards from Costa Rica! Moises C.

 

Thanks guys...

Got some work done this morning. First i made cardboard templates:



First two supports tacked in:



More to come this evening...

 

Drivers side mock up finished:





Both sides mocked up:



Spent the better part of the day grinding and welding. First one finished:



Welds started looking acceptable:



Both sides finished:



A few cutting wheels lost their lives:



Will give them a shot bedliner on monday, along with the rear bumper, snorkel and swingout...

Also got some wingnuts for the hilift mount:



And a new sticker:

 

have to say that looks great, simple but functional.
any details on materials used and costs?

 

nice magpul sticker :P I had a red one on for a while but ended up taking it off

 

Steel:

-100x40x5mm rectangular tube, 362cm long
-60x60x4mm square tube, 230cm long
-100x6mm flat stock, 180cm long

that was about 140$ for the steel with good conditions...

Bolts, nuts, grinding wheels, welding sticks, etc. where about 60$...

So, I have about 200$ in them so far...

Hopefully we get good wheater on monday so i can bring out the spray gun. Should look great with all the new parts bedlinered instead of rusting...

EDIT:

Yep, i really like this company. They make just the coolest stuff you can buy...

 

Sprayed all my steel parts and the snorkel with bedliner today. The steel parts wire wheeled:



The snorkel prepped:



Ready for bedliner:



Finished:





I think it came out awesome.

Just don`t be that stupid like me and spray it in the garage without some protection for the garage. It`s some serious mess in there, i think my father is going to kill me...

And of course it started raining when the snorkel was sprayed. But i don`t think that hurts:



Snorkel finished. The scoop is not on it`s place, i just put it on to prevent the snorkel from rain:



Looks naked:



Can`t wait for tomorrow to put those part`s back on, i think it`ll look killer...

 

Got the sliders finished and took some pics:













Slider detail:



Couldn`t squeeze a bolt through the frame like i planned here, any suggestions on fixing this?

 

Just can't get it to line up? Have you used a liner punch to try to get it aligned while everything else is loosely installed? You could ream the hole with a drill if you can get one in there.
