oh ya only the strongest ha ha it is 1/8 steel really hard to work with but really sturdy and rigid it turn out good we are going to get the inside rhino lined and hopefully have a really clean look...

Did you drill and tap your winch mount plate to put the fairlead there? That's the same place I need to mount mine and the only way I could think to do it.

Looks to me like the under-fairlead is offset to the side just a bit, so the bolts won't interfere with the mounts on the winch.

For that matter, you could run a fairlead intended for a short-drum winch for the suckdown, that'd get the bolts inside the feet of the winch.

That would work, but the hole is already cut to a full size fairlead. Wonder what Mike would charge to make a wider bolt pattern on a fairlead???

How about just countersinking the hole in the top of the plate and using flathead bolts? That should get them well out of the way of the winch, you'd just have to bolt the fairlead on before the winch....

update.....

So measured up for a skid plate maped it out on quater inch plate, grabed my tourch and stareted to cut and this is what i got.....

 

[tc meiser]

I welded some two inch strips of quarter to the front and back to make it a little more rigid. Then there was a section where i needed to dish it out so i cut out a hole and welded a peice on the bottom to dish it out a quarter inch.

I like. I'll need to copy that if you don't mind? (if I can afford a sheet of 1/4" steel )

 

[bryson]

Looks amazing! What are the plans for paint?

 

[tc meiser]

update...

Alright i got a few more of the small things done, such as:
-Marine Radio with four brand new 6x9 speakers
- Custome storage box with 2 speakers inside
- Four new switches for all the lights (eBay specials)
- Got the front Hella 500's installed
- Couple crazy cup holders
- Front windsheild made outta lexan
-

 

[tc meiser]

Everything is done besides the front drive line which is being made. And as far of the paint goes Bryson is going to be a leaf green for the body and the frame and roll cage and axels and suspension is going to be all satin black. And the inside of the tub is going to get rhino lined. But.. as of right now, i thought i would give it some color before the Moab trip. Check it out.

 

[Bart]

Love it. Where did you get the box for the marine radio?

[Tacoma]

Holy rock stacking!!!

Does nothing to diminish my love of the BAMF though. I just dig it.

 

[Kiel]

I dig the grafittiesque paint Looks like it's working good. That is a load of rocks though

 

[rollover]

Nice solid run. You make it look easer than it is for sure. A real point and go rig.

 

[tc meiser]

thanks guys ..yah it has been working excelent for us so far we have beat it a few really good times took it to moab for 2 weeks straight and to the snakes 3 times and cant seem to break it so i think it is time to tear down and finish it out all the way. i have also just started my buggy and hope to have it close to done for moab to go beat and then we will have two rigs to go play with

 

[Bart]

Sweet, good luck with the buggy build. Usually I have to wait at least a year to build something else. You are brave. But then again, you're a real fabricator and I just play one in my garage.
