well, i finally got the b2 to where the front end is at a finished "for now" stage, and the dual cases are all good. So i can mess around with little stuff like bumpers and adding onto my roll bar/cage.
First order of business was to ditch my "ghetto lack of a" front bumper.
I am too ashamed to show what i had before, lets just say, i could have done better, and now i am trying to make up for it.
So, onto the pics:
it consists of a 2x4x.188 rectangle tube grafted to the front of the frame, i cut the 6"long frame horns off, and the tube is welded right to the frame and the front body mounts. the Stinger was a mess up tube from my buddie tacoma we did last spring, it had two longer legs on it that came out at a funky angle on the bottom, i simply cut them off and welded it right to the rectangle tube.
it also has a 2" receiver hitch in it, i can put my tow hook hitch dealie in there, or my winch, on the custom receiver mount i made for it.
Got approach angle?
this the the receiver winch mount i made, i think i am gonna add some handle or something off the sides to make it easier to carry, but it will work for now.
i am gonna add more tubes coming out to the corners of the body, i am jsut not sure how i want to do it yet. i might do something through the fender to tie into the cabcage, or i might do something over the wheel opening that goes into the slider, or, or , or........ i dunno, i gotta let the ideas swim around in my head for a while.
Hopefully Johnny will chime in with the build pictures, i was too busy doing all the work to take any during the process.
