    What did you make today ?

    seeing a few ppl fabricate some gear I'd thought this may be a usefull thread.
    Anyway this is what I made a while ago, serves two purposes, one is as a step the other is two fold
    great for touch parking and protects the back a little coming off ledges etc.
    the finish is zinc, just slides in any class 2 tow hitch,
    great for shins too lol

    Nice! Don't have any pics, but I put a couple of plates on the bottom of my rear mudguards, they were coming a little to close to the 35's. There's a small chain connected to the plates and hooked to the rear guard. I can adjust where the mud guards sit, if im off road I pull them up a bit higher.

    Its not metal fabrication and I didn't make it today (a couple of months back I think) but I did make this.

    A secure table top for the portable BBQ to use it as a table when not in use. It has tabs underneath the top that fits inside the lip of the BBQ to stop it moving around.

    Might be a bit off level, trying to balance it on the vertical post, get it near level and weld was a challenge.

    So you might be right LOL. Might do it again as it was the first one. Bit like a one arm paper hanger on stilts doing it on my own.

    Try another pic...

    That looks awesome 3D exactly what i was thinking of making (although wouldn't have been near as good). Would have been good on the trip just done, i just left the tow hitch in and used that but do like that step. You still making any by any chance. . .

    Nah that was just a one off but easy enough to make, hardest part if you call it that
    is bevelling the bottom edge and filling it in, I used 50x6mm flat, still have it somewhere lol
    This might help
