Micks FAT red GQ snail (now a single cab style side tray back)

I've had this winch laying around for ages, I thought it was time to put it in.

The winch is a low mount 12000 pound and my bar is a cheesy high mount so it had to be modded..

I found that under the wings of the bar were rusting out so off they went.

New tube wings and top of bar cut to suit.

I cut some 10mm plate for the base. Tacked in place.

A quick test run for the winch to make sure everything still fits then all to be welded up.

Then painted.

I tested up the hill on the week end and pretty happy happy with it.

Some more good things to look forward to.

Beadlocked 38" TSL boggers.

Ill buy them beadlocckers off you if you change size, And that bar looks so much better now with the pipe instead of that shitty tin plate

[tailpipez]

Yeah alright will talk about it tomorrow.

Freaking awesome... What are you doing with the floor pan? Kallen Westbrook Owner of Westy's Accessories

[tailpipez]

The floor pan what do you mean? The rear tub ? If that's what you mean it will be storage and sheet the top in so it acts like a flat tray on top and storage under neith.

hope I answered your question..

Got some more done today got the roof welded up with out warping it ( was pretty worried about it warping being so thin ) but come up awesome, Now a have something to work with here some pics.

This should clean up really well, a bit more welding then bog time.

Top job. Yea I was asking about the tub. Didn't know what your plan was for that 4" step behind the rear seats.. Top effort on the welding to get no buckles.. just be cautious when grinding down that you don't take out the parent metal.. if I was you I'd try get a large flat buffer and put a course paper on it, once you've removed most of the weld, finish it by paper then bog..

Just picked up some VY dunnydoor seats this afternoon will post some pictures up as I fit them in.

[tailpipez]

Ok I thought this seats were a straight bolt in from what i have read.They were close but not close enough. I started by re drilling 2 new holes in each seat.

Made brackets to mate up to the rails.

 Brackets all fitted up and painted.

All fitted up in the truck one side any way.

Bit of a tight fit bit all in all turn out ok.

 

 

[tailpipez]

Couple of pics of the rear in progress.

Top job there mate. It looks like you've also cut the guards?
