[mack]

yea they do aye and na not yet still working on a wee few bits to get it back on the road new laws state that cause i changed the old block out for a new one rather than bore the 3y i have to get it certd so im building my arb style bumper before i go for cert

[Dirtydog]

good call, if ya want to do any lifting it would probably be a good idea too.

[mack]

[mack]

well heres the start to my bull bars

[mack]

and the roll bars freshly painted

[mack]

thinking of adding tow hooks onto the side of this by adding another plate onto the side of the 12mm then drilling and taping threw both

[jeepguy]

Nice lux, looks like it's coming along well!

[mack]

yea getting there get this bull bar finished of when this weather plays ball then can get the bloody landrovers going again and start there tlc

[mack]

been busy with work and other life dramas but got some work done bars nearly done winch plate done/angle irons cut to shape and mounts made now peice it together /final bits and then paint

[Mattman]

Looks good. What thickness material did you use for the bar and the winch mount?

Cheers
Matt

[mack]

ive used 3mm for the bar and 8mm for the winch plate which ill try get photos of this w.e and then 10mm 90x90 angle aswell

[mack]

well got the bumper onto the truck but have decide to change my mounts


and this is the winch plate and tow eyes
plate is 8mm steel and the mounts it sits on which are also the tow eyes are 90x90x10 angle

[mack]

and all painted and bolted to truck oh and I also added two hooks aswell for quick attach just behind shackle holes
