not a problem... whats next on this badboy?!

[Thomas P]

well, I plan on getting some new 39.5 Iroks for rock crawling, to keep my center of gravity low, also need to buy a winch and start a front bumper after. I also need to get some rock sliders built, so I can compete in the rock crawling events next time. These are my short term goals, eventually I want to get hydro assist, but im not in a big hurry I can turn these 42"s pretty good.

[THK Matt]

what kind of ideas you looking at for a bumper?

[Thomas P]

I want to do a really small stinger, and a low pro, mini ARB style bottom and sides, want to have square/rectangle bumpers and sliders. Eventually I will get a tube cab cage but nothing more as far as exo. I dont want to have any more weight on my rig than necessary. I like the arb bumpers style but they are too bulky and the brush guards are super awkward looking. Imagine an ARB bumper withe all that crap on top cut off, and then slim it down a little bit, and add a small stinger.

i agree... the ARBs are too bulky, heavy, and the brush gaurd thingy looks hidious!

we never even went to the highlakes this winter, we gotta be sure and do a run next winter.

[yota_krawler]

theres still snow, spring snow is hella fun!

[Thomas P]

yeah spring snow is the best but you have to be hella careful and make sure there is a winch in your crew when you go

Heres my half door project. Im hoping to have the passenger side done tonight (ready for paint) The drivers side is partially cut up. Im trying to keep as much dust and mud out as I can and achieve maximum visibility. I used the stock toy handle by shortening the wire to about 4 inches and looping it back into place. I will take pics on the next one.

[95SAS]

sweet, im also making half doors right now, those are cool looking!
