The Lair

Thanks. Picking up the press in the morning. My buddy is bring by a pneumatic impact and a air hammer, I got a compressor. So dont use the hammer eh? Saw some people post that it worked for them and they recommended it. I guess that's out because I trust you. Grinder, drill, and press. Check.

 

Use the hammer on the side rivets, it’ll knock them right out. If it doesn’t, use a 1/4” bit and drill a little out and try again.

Def not the bottom ones though. It’s worked on 0/4 installs I’ve done. Options are drill them out or press them out.

 

Okay. Hammer top ones, not the bottom ones. Press for bottom ones.

 

Sold my bumper light bar today. Have a buyer lined up for my front bumper. Will be ordering a tube bender, notcher, and band saw soon. Then get started on the front end.

Will build a bumper similar to this, but cut out the cross member below the radiator to get a better approach angle.

 

I like that look, with the improved angle

 

Plate on top of tube at the top?

 

Well damn. I guess us loyal viewers don't even get an opportunity to buy your bumper..

 

Like to cover the winch area? I’m unsure. It’ll probably be one of those things where I’ll add it at the last second if I decide I want it. I kinda dig the exposed look, but a plate there would be clean as well

This bumper is going to a real loyal viewer. He’s in the private Snapchat lair.

 

I should also add I’ve literally never bent or notched tube, so this will be a learning experience. But it will open up a lot of possibilities. Rear tire carrier perhaps??

 

No, on top of the upper tube. Looks clean. Check out the new BAMF ones. They do it.

 

If you zoom in under the headlight and on top of the tube you can kind of see it

 

I still wish I had waited just a little bit so I could've jumped on Joe's Hybrid Bumper for my truck.

 

Oh, yeah I’ve seen that. I’m not sure yet. It does add a lot of strength to the side tubes and I do like to slide those against trees in tight trails.

 

Not quite apart of the BD gang just yet, but almost...at least it looks good

 

No on is moar loyaler than Nick, except me.

 

What's Black Ice smell like Brian?

 

I'm not saying shit! Except #rearswingout

 

Oh hellllllll yeah. If you have hood glare, just move the bar back. I had to move my front cross bar back to the next rearward mounting point. Made a huge difference.
