Looks great I like the way you used the rhs on its edge,
party pooper bit did you weld on brackets for shovel and/or light bar
Whats the perforated front plate for ???

Thanks mate :bigthumbup:
The brackets for the shovel holder (which I haven't made yet) will bolt onto the side uprights. The perforated plate can be used to mount a lightbar or HID lights, sand flag, antennas. I used the perforated plate as it is light, strong & something different :bigthumbup:

Oh and I just saw your roof rack! That thing looks awesome! I am going to be using your truck for a lot of inspiration for mine!! Now i just have to find a fabricator here in Abu Dhabi that can do the welding work since I have no garage here!

Have had the LED strip lighting for awhile now, had a chance today to replace the light inside the fridge.............

Roof rack looks sweet, wondering how much it weighs?

:cheers: mate. I haven't weighed, but it's not that heavy, I can pick it up & carry it by myself :smiley_thumbs_up:

I already have a couple of rhino bars, and have been contemplating selling a kidney for a rhino platform but you may have given me some motivation (when I get time) to attempt to make one myself. I don't want a full heavy arb style steel one but making my own slimmer steel one on top of the rhino bars might work.

I just made mine from 25x25x1.6 mm painted RHS (box section) & 50x2.5mm gal mesh, 50x6mm flat bar, & 3mm perforated plate (which I already had), so it wasn't that dear for materials, & basically had it built in a weekend.

I think you need to de-clutter. Lol

Nice bar work, by the way.

Yesterday resulted in me getting 1 set of slider/side steps fully welded, & the other set about 80% welded. Once the 2nd set is welded, needto cut the ally checker plate "steps" , clean them up, & paint them.
