    Spring Cleaning...Garage Sale

    I bought it new but never installed on my rig...I tried to fit it and then decided to drill a hole in my skid plate instead.

    Bumper build...

    Thanks John...I'm running synthetic line...I have a roller fair lead that came with my winch along with the steel line. The plan is to build up the font edge where the winch plate meets the tube with another weld and grind it smooth.

    Bumper build...

    Saturday was spent fitting tube and welding. I changed the lower side pieces to allow for a better approach angle. I also put kickers on the main hoop for additional strength. I am toying with the idea of doing my own fair lead...Following is the concept. I don't want to attach it with out...

    Bumper build...

    Plans have changed...I guess that's why I call it organic fabrication. A friend from another board saw the pix and called an intervention...he made some good points and I have made a few changes...it cost me a day but I have to admit I like it better. I tried to make my own fair lead with some...

    Bumper build...

The "bow" in the winch mount is gone. I braced it front and rear with 1 3/4 X .120 wall tube. I had placed the winch there to check...

    Bumper build...

    I followed the lines of the radiator...If I ever turn her on her top I want to drive her home. Keep in mind that there will be a winch centered in the space along with lights...When I'm done I hope it will look more proportional. I kept the winch plate low so I wouldn't have a 9500lb lever...

    Bumper build...

    Organic Fabrication is at it again...As soon as it got a little cooler I started planning this build. Over the summer I put together a 4X4 labs rear bumper. I like it, although it is a heavy bugger. After looking at the front bumper market I decided to make my own. The flat pieces were cut with...

    What to know about a 97 LC???

    I have to post up on this...I made the move from 01 Taco D-cab to 97 80, white of course. It had 42K on the clock and I paid 16K in 05 for it. I think I made a good buy and I am still in the process of building it. 488, ARB lockers, rhino siding, lift, and a 4x4 labs bumper are on. Winch, custom...

    Gears are stock...I didn't see the need to change them with the size tire I am running. The RRT is a Mombasa with the PVC cover. Some Mombasa's came with cloth covers that let the rain in. Thanks for the compliment Scott...
