Show off your DIY armor!

Friday?

 

Built this the other weekend.

 

Did you cut the frame plates on a plasma? Been to lazy cardboard some

 

Yes I did. A friend works at a structural engineering place and he cut them out for me. SCS would do all the parts for $130 so I would have done that.

I think cutting 3/8" is too much for normal fabrication tools. Well worth outsourcing if you dont have a plasmatable.

 

I have a plasma, happen to have the files if you dont mind sharing?

 

That is a really cool design, very similar to what I’ve been thinking about. Nice to have something to reference now. Now what to do with that pesky license plate…

 

Thanks man I appreciate it. I took some inspiration from the outgear bumper and max powells new bumper and spent a while designing to make sure itll all fit and be as light as possible while still being stout.

 

Glad I still have the tube bender, 180 degree die was helpful. Swingout almost complete

 

Built this a few weeks ago, finally got it on this weekend. Still need to do all the wiring. I am going to chop the crossmember this winter at some point

 

Calling the bumper/swing out done for now
