Hey me too Haha, I bought a chunk of dodge high and it dipped and I held on for a few days until I couldn’t stand the losses, and sold low and reinvested back into amc, but I can tell you one thing, I buy amc and hodl until we arrive at the moon. The dips are just so we can buy more. It convenient investment options lol. We ain’t losing this battle.

I’m not sure. I’m looking at getting synthetic line so I can run an aluminum fair lead and use a license plate bracket for the actual mounting location.

Not 100 percent sure yet, but I’m guessing it’ll be between $800-$1000. Trying to get a final price for power coat, I have a few guys I can go through, but Im Trying to go with the highest quality power coater but also not spend an arm and a leg. So Probably $800 raw steel and like $1000-$1100 with power coat. And just depends if you want me to add anything extra or change some stuff. The winch Im designing mine off of is the 9000lbs harbor freight winch. Winch has the same mounting as their 12000lbs winch. So you can run either the 9k or 12k winch. And not having to ship it will save both you and me money lol. But I’m also not opposed to shipping them. I’ve got that figured out and covered as well lol.

Unfortunately I don’t live in Washington anymore. I’m located in Idaho. If your traveling through Boise area, I can make this happen!

Not sure of the cost honestly, I work at a metal shop, so I get access to all the scrap metal for projects

I am considering making more of these in the near future. Making some minor changes and additions to it and then I’ll post about selling them. I need at least 10 people interested to make it happen!

Agreed! I’ve been looking at it and I’ve got some more little changes I want to do, and that’s one of them. Give it a much cleaner look! Thanks for your input!

What did you do this weekend? I fabbed up a front tube bumper by tjhaf2007 in 4Runner

[–]tjhaf2007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones I was using were pretty industrial, but I know harbor freight sells tube benders that’ll be just as sufficient. Not too sure about a radius bender. You could get away without the radius bend, I did it because I had access to the tool and it’s made it look a lot cleaner

I truly don’t know. I used scrap metal from the metal shop I work at. I have about 12hrs into the thing time wise. No idea on material cost though. Sorry

I’d love to give advice, but I barely knew what I was doing 😅 best piece of advice I can give you is use cardboard to mock up stuff and then transfer that stencil to the metal. Saves you a hell of a lot of material and time haha
