The BS Daycare but no build thread

Keep asking myself if I should make it a tire swingout only or add a fuel/water carrier to it.

 

Mount a .50cal on it

 

Surface to air missile swingout mount. LC80 technical

 

Hmmm...both nice alternatives

 

Swing out Genwelder mount

 

I may as well hitch-mount it.

Instead of a tire swingout, I should run two gas bottles on a dual swingout setup with fold out welding table.

 

Oxy/act swing out

 

Could do side jobs like controlled burns amirite?

There's that one dude on IG that caught his truck on fire

 

Just don’t forget your hazard placard on the back

Making progress

 

Chiropractor made progress on me which means more progress on the LC

How you liking the mock up so far?

It's only as low as the factory crossmember is so it's plenty high clearance.

Just going to have to cut the swingout tubing and angle it out a bit away from the rear hatch.

 

You should CAD and sell the cutouts. There's plenty of LC owners that would buy them for DIY.

 

People say, “stacking dimes”, I say “Making loopty loops with the zappy zaps”.

 

Got it welded up all the way around.

Not worried too much about aesthetics at the moment, but I'll need to get the outer edges beveled so I can nicely fill it when the wings get zapped in.



Can't find my jackstands...so improvising my mock up.





Maybe some round tubing above the flat portion of the wings to protect the sides?

Secondary function would be a step.

 

I think you need to angle up after you clear the rear hatch, enough to be even with the flares

 

You know, I kept telling myself "what should I do about this space" but it was prompted after seeing the pics I posted versus seeing it in person.

Pics make it look far worseas it's not so bad in person, but yes the gap is still there.

Buddy of mine asked if I'd run some kind of guard and I'm considering something like round tube bent. Mainly considering this because it could match the aesthetics of having round tube from my rear sliders and because I want round tubing for the wings on the front bumper.

 

What do you think?

I like hearing suggestions cause you know...more minds = more ideas.

 

I'd have it kick up to cover more after the hatch and swingarm mount

 

I like it
