I'm jealous... my oldest is still taking her own diaper off and twirling it around over her head while chasing the dog through the house. Potty training is tough. Thanks, keeping a consistent gap was a bit of a challenge.

Prerunner bar is on, but I'm concerned that its too small:

Thought I'd be done w/ fab after the rear bumper, but a buddy sent me this:

So, my original thought was to put tow hooks/hoops in the center section... the more I look at it the more I like it clean. Any suggestions?

 

[xanatost]

Man it's too dam nice to put hooks or anything else on there! The only thing that it needs a better bar on there. It does look a little small on there. If you build a rear bumper like the one in the pick.....PLEASE SEND ME A COPIE OF THE FILE!!!!

I like the tack weld look. Its Mad Max like!

Thanks! I thought the same thing about the bar at first but its grown on me. Just to clarify, the bumper I plan to build is in my 1st post... those are step rails in the above pic.

Yeah, but I wouldn't trust it if I ever need to use it as a bumper

Looking like this, it sure feels that I'm going backward...

i bet it seems like you are going backwards until you open the door. haha, once all the paint is done that will be one good looking obs. are you getting the bumper to match the paint or are you doing it in rhino lining or something like that? you did a fantastic job making that. you did this rebuild right.

and if you didn't get those nfab steps id be disappointed.

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

Thanks man, i hope so. Yes, the bumper will be painted to match and I will be building a set of steps similar to those, but will be putting my own touches on them (just have to figure that part out)
