it sounds kinda beefy haha.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

That's what I thought, too...

 

[NorCal_Chris]

Picked up two prices of 3/16 steel. 13X62

Making some mini boatside rocker guards. Pics up tommorow!

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

If they turn out anything like you showed me, they're gonna be fawesome!

teaser pics.
Still need to do some cutting and then weld/sand. Got one side done

 

[NorCal_Chris]

what a day.


Im so tired and only got one side down. I may be rolling with one for a while unless i sack up and just power through it.


let me tell you it was a pain welding these up. I did it in about 12 passes per edge so 24 total. I did get a chance to get some good practice in though..

Here is the results and final pics!


Best i could do with flux core action

Bleh that took forever

And here we go all sanded nice and smooth

And the final look!

That looks ****ing awesome.

Does the bending of the metal, really weaken it so much that it needs to be welded?
Or, is it just overkill?

well i didnt have a big ole Brake to bend it. So i cut 6 big slits in the bend marks and left 6 1in spots attached and then bent it. I had to weld up the slits i made.

SACK UP!!!


Looks killer Chris...one more thing to get high-centered on
Jk.

Now go finish the other side!!!

 

[Deuling]

Looks killer! Thats where having a Stick Welder as well really helps the situation for bigger welds. One pass, done.

 

[groovy75]

Nice, very!

 

[blazinzuk]

Thats nice Chris, one of the mods I always suggest to YJ and TJ guys, pretty easy to do

 

[NorCal_Chris]

Thanks guys!

Here is one side done and painted.

Sure beats paying 499 for these that i copied the idea from

Got my York hooked up tonight.

Said F kilby and made my own alternator pulley. Went to the local mower shop and got a v belt pulley that fit perfect agianst the serp pulley and the hole lined up that i was able to fit a socket in it to hold it centered. checked it for runout and welded it to the serp pully.

Now i just need a tank.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

sick.

Sweet! Was Kilby taking too long? Looks good! Way to think out of the box.

No. kilby can suck a hairy sack with there outrageous prices lol. Ithink thats why they do not list prices on their site because it would make people vomit.

they want $125 for their york bracket
I think $70 for the alternator serp/vbelt pulley.



I used scraps left over from my Rocker gaurds to make the bracket, plus 4dollars in bolts, and i made my pulley for 25 bucks
