Show off your DIY armor!

So true. The neighbor to our right works on his '05 Tacoma all of the time. We help each other time to time. My other neighbor, who just moved in several months ago, works on his cars as well. Before him, the dude was a pansy-ass who didn't like when we worked on our trucks. He thought that it made the neighborhood look bad. So I always found little things or big things to do just to piss him off.

 

Getting there!

 

Just have to find a bender for the bedside hoops.

 

I like, I like

 

Just so happens...

 

Is that for square, round or both?

 

Want to bring that thing to TN?

 

Mmmmmm, where are you relative to windrock?

 

2 hours west. I was mostly kidding. I have a guy lined up to bend them for me.

Have you been there? Funny thing is, windrock started the bumper build. Smashed in my bedside there last month. Haha.

 

We got the dies for both. Will do 2" , .125 wall, round or square.

 

Added some rear reinforcement on the rear, and got rid of the frame posts in the front

 

Looks good.

 

Very nice! Simple, effective. Bravo!

 

Thanks

 

Used the stock exhaust bracket location, surprisly the drivers side had holes in the same location so I managed to tack some nuts on the inside of the frame.

 

My diy bolt on sliders i made over the past couple of weeks. I started with a mobtown offroad bolt on slider base and things turned out great. The sliders can hold up the whole side of the vehicle with no problem. Painted them with rustoleum bedliner. Not sure how durable the paint will turn out in the long run but it would be easy to touch up scratches with.

 

May need you to bend me up some hoops to protect my bedside corners and tail lights.

 

Sure man.

Spent half the day developing my transmission skid, prototyped it out of 1/8th to test fit. I was super happy that it fit the first try with only some slots needing lengthened! I'll snap some pics when I tear it back of and make the final version this weekend.

 

Looking good

 

I'm going to need to some see you when I start my rear bumper . If not before then.
