You see, I come from a world of Suzuki Samurai's where there wasn't much aftermarket support for years and we had to build all of our own stuff. I have made bumpers, sliders, axle guards, and pretty much anything else you could think of over the years with good success. It also doesn't help much that I am cheap.
all I had to buy was the wheels, bolts for the wheels and paint. I probably could have gotten cheaper wheels but the bolts and nuts were close to $10 at westlake. I ended up knocking a big hole in $30 for parts. I didn't have anything but the idea and the metal when I started. I wish I had the chop saw, would have been much easier than using the 3" cutoff wheel I used.
