Colorado B.S. Thread

Finally made some progress on the front bumper today. Looks a little funky aound the top near the headlight, but that was due to wind and the cardboard not staying in place. It'll look better when welded. Woohoo!

 

Wow Ben, that will look great! How are you cutting everything? Torch or plasma? Did you do it with 3/16"?

 

Thanks!


Torch or Plasma - I wish. See that little grinder in the third pic on the left side? That's what I'm cutting everything with. That's what I used on the rear, too. The bumper is all 10 guage steel. Just a hair thicker than 1/8". The subframe of the bumper which will take the force of winch pulls and the clevis mount yanks is all 1/4".

 

Yeah actually the guy just down the street from me puts clear bra on them. It will even clear up slightly foggy lenses if it is on the outside. I just noticed my wifes has a clear coat on it that is starting to slightly crack. I am gonna take them down to this guy and have him out the clear bra on hers. Hers are from Car ID on Amazon and I never resealed them. They have worked great.

 

Looks awesome Ben. :thumbup:

 

well kegs and eggs yesterday was a success .... prob gonna go downtown tmw too havent decided yet though

 

I went last year, and then the parade, took a nap around 3pm, back out that night

 

Actually not a bad afternoon to work in the garage. Not too hot, not too cold.

 

Ben, that front bumper looks great too. Can't wait to see the finished product

 

yeah i had to work today because yesterday off, and i went to sleep at 4 and woke up at 11 so there was no going back out lol (plus the bus dont run in littleton to the lt rail after 8 or so) ... which is why if i go tmw im blowing up the air mattress, throwing it in my util trailer with my sleeping bag, and putting it in my work parking lot which is all of 1/4 mile from the lt rail and then monday waking up and walking in

 

Started sliders today . Tires tomorrow. Locker Tuesday . Wheels Thursday . Mounting Friday . Hit the trails Saturday?!

 

holy bajeezus travis!

what's that you say?........saturday mall crawling meet?

 

Shit, we all know noah guards that money tree of his very well! I found a set of tires for cheap and since I had saved enough to buy the tires new I decided to spend the difference on wheels. Haven't done a useless mod that just adds to looks in a while, so that's what I did. The rest is tax money and saved allowance

-Phil or Bob, I'm gonna need a new sig if you don't mind after I get all this done

 

Just shoot me a PM with photos of the truck. Ill try and knock something out quick once the photos are sent

 

Sweet. I'll send you some next week.

 

I can't wait to see all this work!!!! I wish I could have a truck mod budget. Sliders from Ben are next and are on the list of purchases. The list includes way more than truck mods unfortunately

 

I'll be picking from the money tree here in a few weeks...
