Well ....

Any Progress?:popcorn:

Have you been blinded by the torch?

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Yep. Started on the driver's side last night. I chopped off the brackets last night. Got them all sanded down, ready for welding.

Tonight I'll mount them, tack them, and hopefully get to welding everything.

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

It's gonna be great! Glad you still have some eyesight too.:) :D

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

So you ran spring creek and decided you needed some rock rails...:fdance:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

:D :D :D Good point. I hadn't thought of that - but they'll work out nicely for the rock garden!

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Good LAWD! I freaking forgot about the other side!!!:eek::o :D

It's coming along tho!:beerchug:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Update: Both sides are tacked and I've removed them from the rig.



I started the welding last night, hope to finish everything by this weekend. Much fun!

:perfect10s:

What's the next project? New furniture?:D

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Hey, I made that welding table in the above pic.

Next major project is railings for my back deck. :)

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

The next project is welding my new tire carrier on the rear of my Heep:)

Thanks CO, and yes...thanksgiving weekend would work awesome. I'll be in touch!

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Sound good, Moonie! Maybe as a bonus we can weld on a "I love Hummers" signature plate. :D :D

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

:shhh:
I will let you engrave it on the rack.:)

This is such great news that we have a fellow welder in the house...now to those tabs for the Ford 8.8 in the rear.....

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

I'll tag your jeep with this. :D :D :D

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Nice Job!!! I'd run those on my rig anyday!!!

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Gettin' close now.

Finally welded everything in place.

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Next, time to work on the caps. I decided to taper them a bit, on the front side only. For the fun of it, I put it a 1/4" support near the corner since that part takes the most hits.



Then, welded the caps on. Not designed to look pretty yet.

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Used the grinder on them.


Then the flap disc:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

I left the rear ends flat. I like how they look. :D



I'm pretty happy with the front caps too.



ONE THING LEFT: Painting. The weather is supposed to be cold and snowy tomorrow, so I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to paint them in 50+ degree weather. :mad:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Nice. Now go find yourself a Honda Element and test them out.:jump:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Hahaha! :D I almost forgot about that. I'm gonna be original and see what I can do to a Prius.

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

I expect to hear about your automotive hip-check of the Prius into the boards.:jump:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Good job CO. Those turned out really nice, and your finish work is quite exceptional. I look forward to hearing how they hold up for you.

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

:beerchug:

Very Nice!:cool:

What color are you going to paint them?

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

He told me green

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

I know what happens when a Sentra broadsides a beefy slider like those!!! Nothing to the Truck with the Sliders!!!

Sentra Totaled .... :OWNED:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Damn ALan!
I'll offer a case of cigars, Highlift mount, and a blackedout grille.

LOL- Are you planning on making another set?

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

NICE! So when do you start taking orders?:D

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

That's beautiful work CO. Can't wait to see the finish.:beerchug:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

:clapping:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Of course, you can copy my design. But you are not authorized to put a CO Hummer autograph anywhere on the rails without a licensing agreement. :D

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

:jump: You homo.:jump: :jump: :giggling:

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

I'll be setting up a booth in the Gonzo between 5-7pm on Weds evening. I'd like to limit all autograph requests to that one session. The licensing fee will be discounted 10%.

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Those look awesome CO!! How did you figure out how thick/strong the 2x6 needed to be to support the truck without bending up into the body?

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
 

Haha. I didn't. :D We'll see. I did ask around and talked to some of the experts.
