You need to host those pics on a site like phototbucket. You cant link them directly from you computer.

Hey! I recognize that steel! ;)

don't forget to be legal, you need lights on your license plate.

I was looking into these, http://www.cbrack.com/lite_n-boltz_photos.htm until I won my bumper that already had the license light included.

what the hell is your avitar suppose to be?

and no problem on the steel, maybe getting rid of it will make it easier to get the FJ out soon! (doubtful, but wishful thinking)

So you have a light already? Just use the stock light and adapted it?

It's the album cover of Pantera's Far Beyond Driven album. Don't know your metal bands Bear?

They still use Album covers? Hell I thought everything was now on MP3's.:D

and I don't use mp3.

to throw this thread even further off track, Album cover art died a long time ago back in the early 80's if it was even alive then!

modified the design a little bit, instead of sticking out, it is flush giving it a roller pan look.

Looks good!

Here's what made about 18mos ago - used a stick welder. I am a glutton for punishment! I wanted something that would protect the rear quarter panels ans well as give added clearance. it's made of a combo of dom and hrew 1.5". I bent a couple of the pieces myslef with a harbor freight tube bender - you can probably tell - and after i saw how bad it looked i went to Mig Offroad here in Lexington (now moved to Indiana) and they made a few bends for me on their JB Square mandrel bender. I have a light for my plate that hooks on with a couple of zip-ties, but as of yet, I have not hooked it up - in fact I got pulled over for running a stop sign and had my plate taped up inside the rear window of my camper top (this was while construction of the bumper was in-progress) and the cop didn't say anything. it's a really simple design. Oh and I have a hitch with an 11" drop I use to tow Jetskis and things in that weight range.

YES was the last band that had Album Cover Art.
