I just need to figure out what Im going to tie it into. The frame would be Ideal. I will be installing a 3" body lift in a couple weeks so I'm waiting until that point before I make this support bracket. as it will change all the dimension's

But don't worry when its completely finished Ill be able to hit a deer without worries.
Yeah just trying to help ya. If you could tie into the frame and float the tubing through the sheet metal that would be strong. By "float" I mean go through without touching the sheet metal. If you don't float it through the fender I'm thinking you could have some problems because the body flexes differently than the frame.

Now that I think about it you might as well run tubing for support down over the outside of the fenders to some custom sliders and brace it that way.

THATS a great idea...... hymmmmm

As for floating the support bracket. Yeah I don't want it to touch any sheet metal for just that reason.

Everything is going to change after the body lift, So Ill just wait until than before I make any decsions.

Thanks for your input.

I'm not going to lie, I don't like it

It's cool that you tried, but it doesn't look like quality.



That thing on the other hand...

just had a thought... you mention 3" PA lift. and needing the auto shift linkages....

thats a body lift then... and that brushguard and fendermounts of the hood cage arent goign to fit with a brushguard as the brushguard is attached to the frame.. and the body is about to move up 3"

YUP .. I going to weld a 3" Plate into the bottom, Probably beef up the bumper a bit too after that. And than support the top brace. This is kinda phase 1 of the project

Oh and Big RED Shackles. I like shackles

I could be wrong, but i think he is talkin about D-Ring shackles. The ones used for tow hook replacements and such.

And, heck, you never know when it might actually rain cats and dogs.

Just kidding. Looks sharp. I've always liked the look of the "overland" type vehicles.
