    Forgot to order new plates yesterday so that's on the to do list for today. Tomorrow consists of skid templates. Wednesday maybe I'll get to start the mock up for the rear bumper

    Lol. I need to start on the '87 soon, maybe this weekend. Just haven't had time or decent weather. I'm getting really sick of not having a garage. The '85 will most likely be gutted and scrapped, but I need to figure out how to completely tear it down and be able to move it later. My driveway is too steep for the trailer, and the GF won't like it as a lawn ornament.

    for the rear bumper I am gonna do high clearance similar to the cbi to reduce the amount of steel back there. the center piece will be like ato while the sides are like cbi. it will have hi lift points, shackle points, cutouts for mah reverse lights, hidden hitch, and thinking MAYBE a swingout. Not sure on the swingout because i dont think i want a 37 hanging off that thing down the road.



    opinions *cough* Andy since you haz 37's





    also for the skid I am gonna test out a single piece skid design. yes it will be a heavy pos but with a floor jack or something it should be manageable.jyqehaha_4d5ff538b7a8fb108ef05458eb053f361ba73a91.jpg

    sorry its sideways :eek: but thats bumper idea

    I'm planning to add a swing out to the 4xinno rear bumper when I get it, for a spare 37. I just don't see a way fitting it in the cargo hold with tools and camping gear. A 35 barely fit. It's not like I can see shit behind me anyway, as tall as the runner is.

    I plan on making a cardboard version of my single piece skid design as well as taking off the rear bumper and making a cardboard version of that. Finally sold that xbox but I'll need to sell a kidney before I get to the skid/bumper.

    I have to keep it DDable when I do it which means keeping access to the bed. I basically want the look that this is except on 37's.
