I'm a huge fan of the bumper as well both front and rear. I'm taking it you fabed it yourself? wouldn't happen to have any measurements or perhaps a jig for it lying around? possible some spare time cuz I got a 97 runner that would look great sas'd with some bumpers and clean cut design

It was about a 3 month ordeal start to driveable.. I had bumpers, cage, front crossmember and shackle hangersall in place before I even lost the IFS. so there was only about a month of downtime sitting in the shop.

That is one sweet rig!

I wish I could hang some full width axles under my truck without having to worry about being hassled.

Stupid California.

Oh no.. It was a DD only a month or so... The State Patrol said it "Would be impounded!!" if they ever say it on the roads again without the bumpers lowered 7" rear & 5" front. Fender flares, front mud flaps, and redo the bumpers to be at least 5.5" wide all the way across front and rear..
I never got a ticket but I was lucky.. Pulled over 9 times before they finally dropped the bomb.. Now justa trailer queen..

Aw that sucks. Damn assholes

so much for a FREE country. :bull crap: Why can't they just leave us and our trucks alone.

lbz134 · « **Reply #41 on:** Aug 02, 2007, 08:33:31 AM »

Ya you would think that they would have somthing better to do... But you know those lifted trucks such a menace to society..??

lbz134 · « **Reply #43 on:** Aug 02, 2007, 08:46:56 AM »

Probably no new front one... I'm kinda fond of the front.

lbz134 · « **Reply #44 on:** Aug 03, 2007, 12:00:29 PM »

Going up this whole weekend!! Should have some good new pics monday!!

lbz134 · « **Reply #45 on:** Aug 08, 2007, 07:49:46 AM »

Here are a couple shts of the latest project... The Dove Tail. With working tailgate!! 22" skinnier.

Ill be working the rest of the week to get it the bodywork and bumper finished before the weekend..

AWSUMDC · « **Reply #46 on:** Aug 08, 2007, 09:42:24 AM »

Looks great. Are you going to do anything for temporary fenders and mud flaps or is it primarily a trail rig?

lbz134 · « **Reply #47 on:** Aug 08, 2007, 09:48:02 AM »

Well I used to DD this thing for a month or so.. Now just a trail rig.

dizzydevil · « **Reply #48 on:** Aug 08, 2007, 09:46:06 PM »

DAMM THAT LOOKS GREAT!!

Duffil · « **Reply #49 on:** Aug 08, 2007, 09:56:25 PM »

I'm surprised you got that from the PD. Where do you live? a buddy o mine has an 89 Dakota on Waggy axles and 35x14.50s he only got hassled for flaps...maybe cuz of your dovetail? He has no probs now and it is a DD for at least 2.5 years.

YotaChris · « **Reply #50 on:** Aug 08, 2007, 11:29:43 PM »

mmm I like what I see. That looks bad ass.

I live in washington.. Im thinking its mainly cause Ive got full size axles under it.. My tires hang out a little ove six inches on each side. And that was before the dovetail. Im never gone drive it on the street anymore after the dovetail.... Unless I have too.

lbz134 · « **Reply #53 on:** Aug 12, 2007, 09:04:09 AM »

Got the dovetail finally done... $Beer Chug\'n$

And yes the tailgate still works perfectly!!!!
