Yeah our com van was hit by a falling tree in a wind storm a few months ago. Here it is before it was hit.

 

Well back to the build! Front bumper! 5' channel, notched & bent, welded. 1/2' plate for support arms held with grade 8 bolts. Winch plate welded on top with a 10k lb vortex water proof winch with smitty Built Rope , Hummer D-rings held with grade 8 bolts, and some diamond plate corners. A home brew removable license plate holder that I made up from some old Thule bike rack parts I had. That attaches to the fairlead.

Basic but effective.

 

This is a sweet build i really like that it was built for the purpose of helping people. I wish they had a search and rescue around here because i would like to get into one.

 

Thank you very much! I really do love being there for our community in there time of need. This is what I found for Central PA. but I dont know how close it is to you.

very nice, I just read that from start to finish. I found one local to me that I will join.

How much were your lockers?

 

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. I'm very happy you found something local to you! Thats great!
My lockers I bought on EBay and they were around $300.00 each. I bought the rear first then about a year and a half later bought the front. They make such a big difference

 

Good, thats pretty good price.

Yeah, I have heard of SARs but never actually looked for it. I have alot of military background, so I may be able to help out. Heck Im in afghanistan right now.

Good luck, and keep on helping people

 

Any good rescue stories and photos? I wanna hear/see how that bad boy is in action!

 

Thanks again for taking the time to read the hole thread.
Yeah, thought that was a pretty good price, just had to hunt for it.lol
Right on man! Will do! Im sure that what ever team you join will feel very lucky to have you on there team! Let me know if theres anything I can help out with

Well I didnt wright this story but if you watch this news clip this is my team and I along with other units from our county and we all went home with a huge smile, This one had a great ending oh and We had to buy icecream for getting cought by the news cameras. lol

Ha ha ha, Your right! I never did catch that. Thats to funny! Oh well I wounder what I should do to my car tomorrow? lol
Hey what have you been doing lately? Anything new to your car? lol

 

Nice job on that bumper. Your rig is looking better and better all the time.

 

first off i gotta say this is an absolute awesome build!!! And secondly it must give you a great sense of fulfillment when picking someone up!!! I think after I upgrade my rear axle and lock them both ill have to check into this and then i could do two things i love: wheeling and helping others! congrats and keep that build going ill def stay tuned!

and also that security tint is NUTS! especially on that subaru with no window frame, might have to add that to my subaru sheesh

 

working alot, saving money and trying to commit to changing the look of the "car". thinking the ZONE 4.5" lift to start. i love your build and keep thinking i wanna be you when i grow up! lol

 

Thanks man, I can tell you that I sure have been having a great time doing all the mods and learning a lot from all you guys that share your mods, and give me more Ideas for mods that I cant wait to get started on! Just have to wait for the funds. lol

Thank you very much man. I have to say that I really do enjoy all aspects of what Search and Rescue has brought to me. To start with, The fab work and the installing, the creativeity that I gain from all of you and get to share my own with others. The Search and Rescue family, The fact that my son joined my unit two years ago and I felt like the proud papa when he got his first find. One of the guys that joined the unit with my son there last year of high school even calls me dad, and that feels pretty good too. All that plus we get the chance to help lost or injured people that are in need of rescue. Thats a lot of fulfillment right there man!

Yeah I know what you mean about the money. Great, I've herd good things about the zone lifts. Hey Thanks so much, I take that as a huge compliment.
