    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    Yup, me and my buddy Tallon (55Checy05Taco) fabbed them up based off the Relentless design. It was good experience welding for the first time, and Tallon helped out immensely with some of the more difficult joints. They may not look as professional as the ones you can buy, but they will definitely take a beating. Plus the $100 price tag is better than $600+ for pre-fabbed ones. :D

    Had mine in the shop this weekend to do the anytime fog mod.
    While I was there I decided to add some Devil horns to the rear window graphic. Changed out the JVC Head Unit background as well for good measure lol.

    We used 3/16" A36 steel. Reinforced the seams, and welded each of the joints on both sides.

    Haven't mounted back up yet since the paint is drying, but the front was strong enough to use as a jack point. Should take some abuse off-road.

    Holy chit, I've done a lot already!!
    Got a present on my doorstep when I got home. Installed my "new to me" Arc Audio sub purchased from wmflyfisher.

    [​IMG]

    Started fabbing up my remote power cap lock. I have the two handle rear glass so I don't think there's a kit available to retrofit, so I am making my own. If it wasn't for the rain, I would have had it mounted to the cap. Not a bad little diy, but not done yet.

    Nope, they're 255s. They do seem wider than the stock 265s. Maybe because they're on a 9 inch wheel.

    What backspace are those wheels? That's probably whee the difference in stance is coming from.
