Looks good, where did you get the materials?

FrankZ · 03-11-2006, 10:04 PM

I bought the DOM from Jed at Armorology (www.Armorology.com), he also bent the hoop. The ends (Currie & Daystar) were purchased from Predator (local shop).

this really makes me want to learn how to weld

looks great man

I'd buy it, looks like a kit.

Only thing I would possiably add is some side support to the mounts at the TC x-member, but besides that it looks killer!

I'm thinking about boxing in the rear mounts and tying in to the crossmember. Gonna field test the current setup first though.

Thanks for all the feedback folks.

Looks real good.

It looks nice, what was the total cost? How does it flex? I thought about building my own arms, it doesnt look that difficult I just need to get a nice mig welder.

Rock Kustoms · 03-11-2006, 11:51 PM

id add a few more bolts to the mounts...

Looks good I think the x-member. Did the new Cross memeber push up on the T-case?

Yes, just a bit. I added 1/4" plate at the frame rails and another piece of 1/4 at the trany mount. This prevents the transfer case from riding on the skid hoop.
