Jackrabbit41 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Looks good. However, if you want it to be quite a bit stronger, I recommend you add pieces to it like this: Image Not Found I'd say the red ones for sure, the blue ones are a bit more optional. Unless it really is just for looks. Otherwise the pieces that are sticking out will get bent rather easily. As I said, it's more about design than materials. Ya I was thinking that but my friend didn't like the look of it so we left the red ones off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 If it's just a mall crawler, it will be ok as it is. Triangulation would definitely give it a bit more lateral stability/strength. Turned out looking nice in any case. Have plans to make one for your truck next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ya look at my build thread you'll see that I already have nates 4x4 front bumper and rock sliders but I bought some rear bunker mounts from him a few moths ago and have supplies to make myself a new rear bumper. But it's just one of those things I haven't gotten around to doing haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
