The bends came out nice and tight to the cab on those.

Top Ramen

thanks its been awhile since i bent any tube especially something that required any accuracy, bumpers and externally mounted projects are usually more forgiving . Of course this was the first time using the air over hydro setup that was a bit of a gong show lol

I wanted the roof bars tucked up out of the way . nothing like jumping into a rig and braining your self on a low hanging roof bar. that catalogue cj7 i worked on this spring was like that.

There is still a decent amount of room, so it should make pulling the cab pretty easy.

next up is my outside the box b pillar cross bracing, if it works ill post pictures lol

put a 15 degree bend at the the top of my diagonal cross braces this allows me to optimize head space in this tiny cab.

A tire rack is slightly more noble than my project... it's sitting in the shop full of random building supplies because I wanted to do some renovations in the basement.
