Awesome looking mod. basement builder idea?? I do not have access to bar stock aluminum or a bender. <cough wanna make me one? cough>

You can buy a 3 foot piece of 1/8 in thick , 3/4 in wide aluminum at Home Depot, Lowe's etc., cut it with a hack saw or Dremel, and I just bent it in a bench vise. Very simple.

I bet a vendor picks up on this one.

Rockhard makes one, but it's $85. There's a write up for it on another thread.

This is all readily available as a kit as well. I don't have a bender, welder, etc. So I bought everything listed on this write up and installed it myself. http://www.4x4xplor.com/ORO-LitePLATE.html

You didn't read the thread either. No where did I say anything about a bender or welder. I bent the aluminum by hand, the only tools that I used were a hacksaw or Dremel, bench vise, drill, and screwdriver.

I'm just saying if you don't have a garage, with anything more than a socket set like myself, this can be done as well. The custom route like yours is a much better fit and can be customized for specific wheels and tires. Nice MacGyver skills.

BLKRUBI

Yes, I'm merely saying that this does not take complicated tools (the whole reason that I was able to do it) and can save you $60. Either way works accomplishes the goal. I'm just trying to help the do it yourselfers out.


I'll get some pics up of it taken apart today.
