ahh heck i ll just take a pic of it to hard to explain

If anyone wants to see what the spacing on that drawing is supposed to look like, click the quote button in jk's post. It will show up correctly in the edit box once quoted.

It looks sort of like one I've got 3/4 built. Last time I saw it though was about 5 years ago, I think its hiding in the back of the barn on the family farm. It has a solid tube across the bottom, then two tubes across the top with stubs of tube hooking them together. I was always going to rework it so that it had better center support and a reciever for a hitch, but never got around to it. Good to hear you're getting further in your quest for a LUV tube bumper than I managed to.

You sure wern't kidding 800!

Lookin good jk, are you gonna build a roll bar next??

yah i got the material for it except i am thinkin of having speakers in the back of my bed and port through the cab so

i kinda want a bed cap and roll bars at same time

we just got an 8' sheet metal brake so i could make a bed cover

except sheet metal would be expensive i dont know i ll post other things i am buildin when i get to them


but thanks for the compliments this site inspires me to fix the luv up

Looks great jk....How much would you charge me to make me one for my truck....

that looks good, but you just screwed your departure angle....

hows that

well i am gonna powder coat it which the guy said was bout 30-40 dollars
and material be about 40-50 dollars
it weighs about 35lbs or so
and then labor which i havnt figured out to be i am still not finished

but i dont know if i would build another

Alright well let me know I dont have a welder to be able to make it but would like to have one. Just dont like the price they want for one thats already built....

cause when you come off of a hill and the front gets on level ground the rear will hit at a lesser angle now....causing the rear wheels to come off the ground in some cases....
I guess it depends on if you take it off road much.
and from the good looks of the truck I take it you dont?

looks good, but personally i think you should've cut a hole in the square tube piece below the round tubes and put the receiver in there. would've looked a bit cleaner and give you a little more departure angle. you'd just have to get a bigger drop hitch

its funny you mentioned that cause i am taking the 3" flatbar off the bottom cause i will have to make a lot more support and i dont want that drop like you said either just more problems i am still going to put led lights and recess them in that tube



oh i have i and rolled my truck tuff as a nail

i have made it through some amazing stuff with passanger tires

thats why i am building this up for the mud for next fall i hope it gets done

before then

thanks for your input guys
