Almost done... Got all six edge bends exactly how I wanted them. I add gussets I areas I had to graft in. Gutter mounts are compete and I mocked it up yesterday. Looks bitchin! Didn't get much work done today but I'm on the home stretch. Light bar fabrication is next. More pics to come.

Mount tabs made and lights are mocked up! 40 inch dual row LED by oz-usa, 2x nine inch round HID's for the front and 2x four inch round HID's for the rear. Gonna be bright as hell!
Still gonna add a long section of flat stock that runs from the front gutter mount to the rear gutter mount. That will stiffen it up plenty and add more of a footprint. Also gonna add some steel cross bars and steel basket type material. She's getting a bit heavy (80lbs or so) but she's never been accused of being lite on her feet ;) |

Well luckily I didn't run into this issue. The 1/8 by 2 inch flat stock worked great for me and sits good in the gutter. Will post pics soon. I'm really digging this rack I'm building!

Here is a pic of New to me good and passenger fender I picked up this past weekend. She's getting a paint job soon and figured I'd swap these out before hand. I also scored (from a unknown source) a .50cal reticle that will be my hood ornament :)

I'm curious why you replaced a good paper air filter with one that's been proven to let more dirt in to your engine?
|
Simple, more airflow and I like the look.
The S10 rad core ended up being a whole 1/2 inch thicker/wider than the GM 2500 series rad core. I'm happy about that. I'll post pics later. |
BTW, no more engine ping, ticking or knocking with regular unleaded gas (87). Cutting the cats out solved that issue I guess?
|
or just made it louder like mine so you cant hear it ;)

Should be done with my safari rack this weekend! Got the rear light tabs burned in, hi-lift mount burned in and all the welds cleaned up (not much but making them uniform). Some light scuffing is next then gonna paint it. The fun part will be running all the wiring... Lol. Luckily I have a hole with a grommet already from my CB antenna cable.
