i just used black wire from the hardware store. put them on like twistie ties through the back to hold the mesh in place.

I thought about cutting out the plastic, but decided to try this first. Im happy I did because the mesh is basically on top of the plastic bars. I think it will hold its form better in case I catch a rock or anything.

 

Ok. I may have to find something sturdier than the gutter stuff... I want to get rid of those plastic bars and attach them with screws or something.

finished on board air with an overkill pressure switch. 230v 30a, adjustable (set at 95-125), and it has a built in safety blow off

 

Do you have a writeup for this?

 

I do not. but there are a million write ups on various forums and there is no single specific way to build it. mine is fairly basic though, just intake filter, oiler, compressor, oil separator, pressure switch and a connect for a hose.

 

cool cool i will do my research.

 

Finished the first part of my new dash. Bedliner on all the dash and flat black one the sides and frame work. Also installed a hook up for my iPhone so I can play my music since I have no stereo deck.

 

It looks like it wood but could be from the texture of the bedliner. Either way I like it.

 

Wood or not, I think it is an interesting concept for sure. What kind of screws did you use? and are the screws going directly into body metal? I am trying to visualize how this is working.

 

I did a 1" angle frame work and then skinned it with 22 GA. The fasteners are #8x32 stainless steel cap heads which are threaded into the angle. The only thing that is wood are the speaker mounts. I did that because I am not sure if that is a permanent spot for them yet.

 

looks like your missing a pedal lol jk jk looks good man

 

Looks good!

 

Very interesting! I like it a lot

Also, I like your garage tennis ball stopper haha

 

i used a miller mig welder and propane cutting torch for most of this.

First i pulled off the stock bumper and bolted my winch to the stock spot and pondered. then i took it off and laughed at the stock mount. then i cut it off except the top part that helps mount the radiator. took off the grill and stuff.




when i got it all apart i found more fun damage to the uniframe. I used a BFH to straighten it out the best i could and made some plates to reinforce both parts of the frame and to be part of the frame. I used a piece of card board a sharpie and a hammer to make the outline for the four plates. i cut the edges off by holding the board up on one side and using the sharpie to outline it on the opposite. then i kept it there and used a small hammer to pound the holes into it so i could have an exact copy of it to make my plates. i cut a square notch in the inner driver side because the steering gear box.

next i cut a 2x4 steel tube to reinforce my new subframe it was about 33 inches. welded that up. cut the holes in the plates for grade 8 bolts to go through tightened them up and welded them in place and the 2x4. then i cut a plate to go infront of all that and welded that is 3/16 hardened steel.






for the winch base plate i used 1/4 steel and added four 3/16 triangle peices as gussets. from there i welded that all up to the front mount because i dont plan on ever taking this off and if i ever have to i will use a cutting torch or plasma cutter. then i bolted the winch on and welded the front bash plate on. i cut out triangular pieces and welded it out to finish it towards the fenders. finally i cut a plate out for the fair lead welded that up. since i can only post five pics heres the final product.
