Whitecloud's Build........Finally

[Whitecloud]

So the lock really just prevents a person from pressing in the button above it then? Its not clamping into the lid right?

No it prevents the button from being pressed which also prevents the top from being opened. Hence locking the console. It works really well. You have to press the button hard as crap to force it to open. It takes quite a bit of effort to open it when it is shut and locked.

Yeah, thats what I was trying to say... cool.

 

[Whitecloud]

Ya. Sorry it was kinda confusing the way I worded it. I'll try to get some other pics of the internal part of it and post those up. It might not be till this weekend cause my work schedule just changed. But those will be among them if I can remember to take them.

Added some more pics to the 1st post of the new bumper and hos the console lock lines up with the top.

A tube front bumper huh? Cool. Are you going to put any plate in it like the old all pro hybrid? I always liked the styling of those. I look forward to seeing it on the truck!

I may have to mess with that center console lock idea too.

Let me know if you have any ?? about the console. And there will be a full plate in the center as a skid and to act as a mounting plate for the winch fairlead. I'm also building bracing inside it to mount at least a 10k winch but we will see what happens.

nice, I'm looking to do a tube front bumper as well with the idea of having the skid from the bumper flow into my skid below the engine. Like all one piece of plate that is attached to the bumper so their isn't really a bevel between the two pieces. Might make a smoother approach too

That is the plan and hopefully if it all works out I'm going to tie it in to full belly skids for the whole truck. Let me know if you want any other pics for your plans. I'm going to be working on it this week some more so I should be able to get some pics of it on the truck.

 

[Oury]

awesome, please show!

 

[Whitecloud]

Gonna be working on it today and bending the upper tube. So ill post some up after I'm done. I'll see if my phone let's me post them or not. If not I'll put them up later. Any pics in particular that you guys want?

 

[Whitecloud]

Here is some new pics of the bumper. At least of what I got done the other day. Sorry for the size...

Dont know it this is entirely safe but it worked to bend it....

Ignore the clamps, they weren't on there long.

Tried to match the body lines the best I could.

More will come next week.

Thanks all. Bender is doing great. Got a couple more bends to do and need to finish up the mount for the winch so that i can mount it later. And then got to do the rear bumper.

So added some support braces off the body mounts near the headlights and also the top hoop.

Enjoy......
