Damn that looks great...


nice work... I cant wait to see what you make on the 2nd try (since this first one looks so good)

Thank you very much!
well you guys gave me some good ideas, I might just do them!

I would love to start making these on the side, but shipping would be a B*($@*(! for whoever buys one haha, although I only paid $80 in shipping for the SMA one with Grayhound...so it wouldn't really be much more as long as it fit, they work pretty cool.

I think i'm gonna tackel a roof rack next, we'll see.

Thanks again!!

Very nice, IMO would look killer on a lifted H2. I think you may have a market for that as there are not many options(HumminnBoatin was having one fabbed up i know).


Im no welding expect but it looks like you may not be getting much penetration on the welds, just something to think about.

yep, I'm no welding expert either, but its on there thick for sure, its just that I grinded it and smoothed it out more for looks, if it was the front part I would have left it alone, but since its on the top of the hood its not as important, but its penetrated to the right color of the metal on each 1/4" thick weld, and yes... it would look insane lifted, that's one of my goals this year (hopefully )

Thanks though!

Dang!!!! Very impressive and even more so that this was your first time. I am extreamly curious as to how it mounts behind the bumper. I personally have never seen this method before. Look forward to more pictures and reports as to how it holds up.

Looks great you did a great job for your first time. The welds look like you were just a little cold but there didn't look like you had much under cut so thats a good thing. Again it looks great on your truck

I'll see if I get time in the next day or two to take some more pics for you, its bolted to the frame from the inside of the bumper... kinda tricky, but its the way SMA designed it, you'll see, thanks!

And BLKSUT, I think you're right about the cold, I just bought a heating tourch for some stuff that i'm practicing on and it works easier it seems, I'm still in the learning process and I love it, its pretty fun to me.
Thanks guys.
