The Not-So-Expedition 1999 E250 Build?

[B85]

Was thinking it would take 1/2 a day to get it skinned! Now I know why thay get $2000+ for a bumper.:Wow1:
Some work today.









More to do.:sombrero:

 

[B85]

Its a little pre-runner looking? Here is a walk-around.








And I just cut the grass!:bike_rider:

Looks good!

I am trying to decide if I want to buy a Ranch Hand front bumper or build one myself.

 

[B85]

I think it comes down to time and training. If you have both, then go for it.:bike_rider: Oh, lots of tools help!:ylsmoke:
The biggest thing I have learned is, :Wow1: it eats time up like nothing I have built before!
I just built it for me.

This is the fun part! Love to bent tubing. The other is just work.







And on to more fitting!:sombrero:

 

[B85]

Alittle more welding.





:elkgrin:

Do you apply lubricant to the pipe before you bend it?

What pipe did you use?

 

[B85]

2" receiver got here today but will work on it Fri. Also finish up the lower panel.

 

[B85]

The tubing is ERW 1 3/4" x .120. Missed the thing about the lub. Yes ,to the outside shoe. Very light grees. The inside is left dry.

Got the receiver installed and will work on the front center panel Sat. Also got the control box installed in the upper corner.

 

[B85]

The lower panel kicked my a $$ . Just getting old?:ylsmoke:





Need to install light brackets and prim,paint and wire. Then all done. Easy!:bike_rider:

 

[B85]

Painted,installed,wired. Now I just need to respool and give the cable a good workout. Keep the wiring (KISS) !





And repainted the KC covers. The yellow was just too much!!
