what to build?

if you had a couple hundred bucks laying around and a full shop to make anything within reason for your rig, what would it be?

im asking because im in the second stage of a class at my school that now is allowing me to do so.... i have to build something, whatever i want, with a full shop at my disposal, then get graded on it. originality, craftmanship, and degree of difficulty in mind.

any ideas?

 

Build your truck some sliders! or a rear tube bumper

 

^^^^My 1st choice. 2nd choice would be my own bed extender.

 

i would LOVE a steel plate bumper, kinda like one from bent up, or TJM, but have no idea where to start

 

Make some sliders. It looks to be far less difficult than making a bumper, and they are pretty useful. If you don't off road a bumper would be kinda pointless (and heavy!).

Or make a tire gate.

 

i'd build myself a set of sliders.............unlike anyone has!!

 

sliders, front bumper, or a full set of skids

 

+1 and +2... Bumper or sliders.

 

I went with the sliders idea and they turned out fantastic!

I would tackle either a front or rear bumper. Probably a rear like Silverbacks.

 

Ooo, good call. Since you can't really buy one like his (plate bumper on the rear) it might be a good choice. You can buy sliders, front bumpers, but the only rear bumpers I've found (that were <$1500) were tube bumpers. I think those are fugly...

 

Thanks Longhorn,
The way I see it is that you could have something truly customized that way. D-ring mounts, reciever hitch, off road lights, trailer lights, CO2.....whatever!
