GEEEEE......Greg you were a busy boy this weekend...

looks really good.....can't wait to see ya use it.....

only one little suggestion....maybe a brace running at about a 45 degree angle from the front of the frame horn to where the upper tube meets the stinger.....

and does the fairlead interfere with the bottom tube???

also, love your bender base....that is cool

I'm going to add more to it but ran out of time for now. I made that bender about 4 years ago.

Looks good! I'm with SPD, what about that bender? What size diameter does it do and do you like it?

Here is a link for the bender http://www.gottrikes.com/Tube_Bender.htm I changed it a little but used his prints. Works great just use a angle finder instead of a degree wheel. And it is drilled for most die sizes.

hmm i love it. guess i should start thinking a bit more about building my own bumpers now

 

[Viper Command]

Ok I really dont like tube bumpers, BUT yours is changing my mind.
Great Job

does the plans include where or what A/H jack to buy?

what all did you change if you don't mind me asking, i did notice the four caster wheels. anything else?

You're going to love that winch. I have the same one and it's got some serious balls.
Looks good. I just have always wondered why people do a full weld on tube bumper. It's gonna be a pain to paint and a pain to fix it you bend it.

It's the harbor freight air over one. Don't really remember what all I changed, it's just slightly different .

Thanks. They're slow but work good . I've done bolt and weld on bumpers and I prefer weld on. Maybe I'll Post some of my other work.
