We've done alot of custom stuff over the years. Post up some pics of your stuff.

Where does it all end up? How did the end product turn out? Hell, what was it for? Sometimes all we get is a sketch and don't ever really know what were making parts for.
 
well since i tossed the idea to kirt i will be first to post it up.

i wanted to have some simple tabs for my bucket seat install to my frame's i built up. but i wanted 3 good weld points so no simple 1 sided tabs.

looked at a lot of kirts stuff. setteled on the radius body tabs for mounting panels to tube work. but we talked and had him leave the radius off and make them flat mount for both.

so end result will be this nice tab for lots of idea's . ( pic #1 )

i used 1x1 1/8 wall square tube for the frame work. then welded this to the stock bench seat brackets. still unbolts as 1 from the cab. but helps you slide the whole thing up like a stock bench . then if you are lucky or good your buckets will have slides. mine do so i can adjust each 1 seperate.

this will also get you around 1-1.5" lift in the seats over stock. and for a long leg guy like me it helps big time. my legs are streched out more for less cramped felling and i am up in the cab more and can see better and the hood is shorter to look over also.

almost done with the setup so pics of it sofar. the nut is the piviot point for the bench slide link cable to the other side for the latches.

the buckets are 4 of them from a g20 conversion van high back reclining 2 arm rest's on each for super comfort. and the best is super soft comfy......

your B-52's turned into my version of a bumper center... :bow: still need to finish up the support tubes when I get more 1.5 tube in.....

"just take the bumper off" has a whole nother meaning when there's 22 fasteners.... :haha:

Muddytazz's pieces there are a perfect example of, "I don't have a clue what they are, other than what he asked for."

Ryoken, What did we do custom on your panel mounts? Different radius?... Looks like 2"........
 
yeah, they're all custom.. 2" in flush and 1.5 in flush and center.... gonna order about 20 more, mostly flush 1.5....

Since we've done them once, its just a matter of loading up the drawing and going again. Rarely ever delete a draft. :D Sometimes you end up with 10 of damn near the same drawing though.
 
I would, but most of the stuff you've made for me you've welded on for me as well. :haha:
 
I pic whore enough round here :D. You guys have seen most of my stuff anyways.

Here's our joint effort custom piece thus far:

For those that haven't seen it before, those are 44's on rockwells, and it will sit ~6'2" to the top of the cage at ride height on 49's. Kert and his facilities were an instrumental part of building it, and I can't thank him enough. :waytogo:
 
Thanks Mike! Hadn't seen that photo before. We need to get back on that thing and get it done.....
 
here is your shackle flip with a twist to it. You installed a currie johnnie joint instead of an actual bushing and it was definitely a great deal and great service.

sorry for the horrible pick, i will try and get a better one this weekend
