And the little fuckers that look alike, but have a different pitch -

Got oem uppers, lowers, and CV's take-offs for a 1st gen if anyone's interested.

 

And the drilling

 

He's skipping that part for now due to no winch.

I skipped it as well because I never got around to installing one.

 

The Harbor Freight folding canopy is a really good investment. I use mine all the time and it’s cheap

 

I don't like any of this Mickey Mouse bullshit that ARB incorporates into its bumpers.

 

It’s like walking on big pile of chips

 

HA I used to find so much satisfaction in playing on those when I was a kid. We used to see who could peel them off the ground without breaking them too

It's a lot of production for an empty theatre. If you're getting a big aftermarket bumper for winching on a truck that's only safety feature is belts that sometimes arrest your movement you're not concerned about crumple zones. The stock one didn't have em and the frame already has a portion designed to fold. It doesn't need all these failure points and extra weight, it's just making it a nightmare to put on or remove. My last three bumpers could all be assembled and put on by one person in 10mins with an impact.

 

So I bought a CO2 monitor for my desk last fall. Almost lost it when I rearranged a couple weeks ago, but put it back up this weekend. Went down this morning and my office was sitting at 1200ppm. No wonder my head felt foggy.

 

It just seems like it's one of those "we did it for our new vehicles, we'll do it for our old ones"

Easy to mass produce multiple small parts with little retooling I think.

But yeah, something about having a solid one piece setup

It's why I've been anxious to install the hidden winch mount Jaxon got me into; it's a solid piece that bolts right onto the frame/frame horns.

 

The resolution of this meme viewed on a desktop is intense

 

I asked OP about it on Reddit, he upscaled it using some neato AI. Looks solid huh?

 

I’m hoping cal ranch had a sale for the 4th, I’ll go buy their 12k

 

Damn. I thought someone got ahold of the raw image and it was taken with a medium format or something lol. That's crazy

 

Which reminds me. I came up with a product for the 80 series cruiser that's a full swingout that doesn't require changing the stock bumper. Been mocking it up in cad to have someone cut the steel for me

 

When zoomed in you can observe the sampling zones, but it isn't off putting really, it still looks solid.

 

I had 6 m10 cage and then 6 m8 cage. Made sure to separate though, little craps.
