with the summer over the business has slowed down pretty much to a halt, being that what I build and market is for outdoor living. So with offroad season here now, I started marketing to that crowd again. I figured since it what ive done for the last 10 years of my career, it would be fun. heres some things iv'e been working on: Mainly marketing the Titan crowd.

ive got a 1960 ish VW manx that needs a cage and bumpers
Also got a go fast bronco that needs a cage and full travel front and rear set up
Also got a Porsche 917 replica that needs cage work that will qualify it for sub 10sec 1/4 mile runs.
just saying i am going to be at your place a lot this summer.
-
Gonna be Tony's Manx in a few weeks, and then his Bronco as well. The fun part is he trusts my skills, and visions. So I can build them as if they were my own. Things always turn out better that way

Those steps you made for your titan, are exactly what I want for my truck

That table is pretty damn cool kaotyk. What was the price tag on it?
Awesome work Brandon. Your Titan is sick. Jealous.

You will need to plumb it for water cooling through the tubes if it's anywhere that gets over 90 degrees outside. :screwy:

I have had a few ideas to build a picnic table very similar in design to this one. As for being hot, coat it in a high tempo paint, and it help tremendously. I actually coated mine in a spray-on bedliner caoting, and it isnt too hot in the summer. And our summers are 110+

i know. just a busy time in life right now. Three projects in the build stage, last two classes of school, work, and still trying to have a god time. I will get out there soon. I think we want to do the manx first. that way amanda and the boy have something to ride it. She does not like riding with me in my car.
-
Finished product[attachimg=1][attachimg=2]
-
Eff me do I want me a set of those bars! I need a pair too, I get crazy wheel hop and warp... I got many other things needing money first though. Like coilovers and lights, and new framing, flooring, and diverter to just name a few. Hahaha
Sent while day dreaming...
-
Those look to be lower links to me. Can they be used as ladder bars?

They are track bars/ladder bars. Designed for the Titans which get crazy axle wrap as soon as you lift the rear with a block. They are universal for 1/2 ton trucks, I need to get somebody with a 2500 that needs a set, so I can get measurements.
-
I have a huge F350 if that helps. lol
-
I have a 99 f250 short bed and a 04 2500 silverado long bed. Don't need a set but I can take measurements for ya.

I'm closer than Vegas and I've got a bender....lemme know when you're ready....and bring beer.
-
nice lookin work!
how hard is it to clone suspension parts? im guessing the factory is just a stamped U steel piece?
Not hard....just gotta build jigs

Doing a perfect copy of geometry isn't hard, but when you start playing with added caster and coil butcket clearance like these it gets tricky and thats where experience kicks in.

Were already setup to do all the work, its just hard finding time to drive 5+ hours one way to drop the off to me. Once the river place is hospitable, well get them here. still starting with the Manx Tony? I just picked up a Baja build that is starting on Mon. I'll post pics of the progress. Cage front to rear, tranny/engine mounts, custom A-arm front end.[attachimg=1]
-
So here the '61 Baja Bug project I started last week. I am doing the full cage front to back, with an a-arm conversion in front. Cage is about finished, waiting on the coilovers and motor so I can finish up the rear. Then its off to cut the front end off.

one more

the final product of the step bars are awesome!!!
Great work on everything
-
Thank you :beer:
-
That bug is awesome. Nice work
-
when does the monster manx build start? ;D
-
That bug is awesome. Nice work
Thanks, I'm not overly happy with the final product design of the cage's roof, but because it has the ragtop, I had no choice. Since I am a Class 1 builder, I like everyrhing to be triangulated. with 3 bars over the seat area. the handle for the ragtop hung so low, I didnt have the headroom to do so. It will have a big roofrack, so that will add a little more protection. it will look similar to this one-[attachimg=1]
-
Forgot to post the finished roof rack
-
Few recent projects
-
Last one
-
Like the Z'ed frame on bags. Good stuff.

I got some work for ya around here as well
