buffalob Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Gotta say you are one of the best from scratch fabricators I have seen. In both the design and execution. You stuff is so well thought out and clean it is truly art that you have accomplished on your rig. I really hope one day to see it in person. (who knows.... My youngest sister and her husband just re-located from Portland to Spokane...might yet happen.)Amazing truck (and amazing talent) man I love looking at it.

H3RESQ Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 If you make it up here to visit them PM me and we will make it happen. Thanks for the compliments, I must give a ton of credit to Wes Hepp on this build...he is the true fabricator, I just dabble and constantly challenge him for a unique artistic look.

H3RESQ Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 He could probably make a DIY kit for around $300. You would get pre broke base with holes, bent tube, and stand-offs. You would have to drill bed, install threaded rivits, and weld it all together... If anyone is seriously interested pm me and I can have him figure out exact price and such.... You should go into production with those! They are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowboy83 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Have you thought about selling all of the torch works and CNC CAD drawings as a way for others to take them to their local shops to have the parts made? I would be willing to buy them and have them made here for my comanche. It would save a lot of money on shipping and handling for the bigger parts.

Kowboy83 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 It would be a great way to re-coup some of your build expenses and help others use some of your ideas on their own rigs. Or you and Wes could start a company making these parts as an after market parts source :) build by order type deal. I have a plan to use chassis stiffeners and would love something like what zone off road did on their rig in kit form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3RESQ Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Had a great weekend at Liberty. The MJ was flawless the whole trip. Ran into Jason that owns the white coilovered/exo'd/5.3 swapped MJ too. Great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3RESQ Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'm so bad about pictures. I did just get a GOPRO, and still only took 1 short video (I know, I SUCK!). I'll see if I can figure out how to upload it. Glad to hear it went well. Hope to see some more wheeling pictures from your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Lol I have same feeling when woman takes my rig. She loves the looks and whristles she gets when diving it with the doors off. Lol But by chance do you have a rough idea and weight of your rig, packed for trail that is.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3RESQ Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I am not sure, rough guess trail ready would be 5000 range. I actually need to do a small dump run, I'll just use the bed instead of my little trailer. On way out I'll be able to see the weight and let you know what it weighs without tools, trail gear, camping gear at least. Lol I have same feeling when woman takes my rig.

jbain Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I was wondering if your buddy who does Fabrication would consider offering rear side armor like you have that wraps around and uses a flat style tail light. Nobody offers this and I want one bad. A buddy of mine has the same deal on his TJ but had a shop make it out of aluminum to save weight......
