Laser or plasma cut brackets? Very nice design work.
I like the tailgate turn screws.
I like the tailgate turn screws.
Picked up a M416, and let the build begin!
- Thread starter worknplay
- Start date
Basic. Threaded nut on the inside. 3/8th bolt size. The lid comes down and has 2 dowel holes that are in the top of the tailgate to keep it from being opened when the lid is down and locked, and lid frame has two dowels that are attached at bottom of frame to go into dowel holes. Also the skin covers the top of the tailgate also.
Plasma and thanks.

Please post a shot of the bumper you made.
This was a couple of days ago. Its now at the powder coating shop. Just about everything but the inside of the tub, (Line X), and the axle and drums. Kept those here and did some fine tuning to the brakes, etc.
I would also like to give a shout out to the builder of the lid and back bumper. Matt. Here is a link to his site.

And he also has a thread going on Land Rovers of the one he has.

Thanks Jerry.
More pics!!!
More pics!!!
Got all the parts back that were getting powder coated. they grey is as close is I could get to the original color that was on it. Outside of tub is also coated. All the other parts are painted. I used Krud Kutter Metal Clean and Etch to clean all the other parts that didn't. Then engine enamel paint as it seems to hold up a lot better.
So now it starts. Get it back together enough to bring it down and get the inside of the tub Line X.

Looks good! How is the quality of the powder coating?
Pretty good, getting it all home (with blankets, etc) only had a few places that rubbed and it really didn't get through the coating. Had the tub sitting on the frame and all the
other stuff inside. But I think next time I go this route, I am going to color everything the color of Never Seize, that way it won't show as much while assembly :yikes:
And won't be wiping it off all the time!

Looks nice Jerry. Too nice to use. You may have to buy another one!
Next stop, Line X the inside of the tub and tailgate. Then let the "final" part begin. Getting the lid and fenders on, etc. Although, I already have visions of more stuff to do to it.
Glad I kept the original axle. Getting the brakes to adjust took some time, but now it holds great.
I have used a lot of ideas from people on this website. Such a great place for info.
Could someone tell me why some pics are sideways. How annoying.
