MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

we should also weld that extra support on the rear scrub down to the rear bar as well.

Yes that's my intention, it doesn't really need a bend in it though, just notching.

Well! Flat Out what a Farrrkkked Job this is!!!!! Damn it to Hell!!

So my rock sliders where made for a 2" body lift. I have removed most of the body lift so these need adjusting. Can't be hard? Right?

Cut the mounting plates off. Change the angle, line it up. Tak. Remove. Finish weld.

Yeah right! What a bastard! The front one is longer so making a slight change to length and I can't centre on all plates.

Finally lined it up after stuffing around for several hours last night. Very difficult to do this alone. Battle on.

Tacked up and removed the supports. Undoing the mounts again. And while undoing the last one it came crashing down on me breaking all tacks, landing on me and loosing the setup completely! Damn you I said quietly.....

Just finished the first one!! Used the gas less wire I had in the welder, spits crap everywhere! I will Not be using it on any of the other bar work, I will buy a bottle.

Is it a secret Darren? lol...
How do you intend on connecting the brush bars to the bull bar? Or is what those thingamejigs are for?

Any Cyclone fence place should have the correct TEE fitting
to get from the bullbar to the side rail,
Fair gap on the side steps dont show welds ,
but could the steps of gone in further if the angle was made better
to weld??

yeah they are a little different. Much Cheaper but they only have 1 hole through them . I could drill a hole through the T on them but the ARB are longer on the main bar with 2 holes and then a 3rd hole through the T. a Much stronger and snugger design.

Lol, yeah I got them much closer than that before tacking them. Was a bastard though. Had to trim the middle one a little the the front longer one was a bastard to line up.

Just doing the second one now.

Spray the area with cooking oil ,that should stop the splatter
