Very nice. I rather like the incorporated bumpers, especially the front.

I'd assume that the only thing that is missing is the box with a shipping label... addressed to me.


Great work, man, as always.

I'd like to see mounts for front and rear off-road lights as well as a tire carrier!

Great build Jerry. I'd love to see this thing fully built up and running (hint hint :-P). The only concern I'd have is the light bar. While it looks pretty beefy, I'd think in a high speed rollover it could get tweaked. Personally I'd incorporate a couple of tube braces tied into the roof.

Are you saying selling Jerry's frames for $150? Since Jerry's a vendor already, I think he's set up, plus this is worth a lot more than $150

thanks Ecoli , yes the light bar is not super beefy mounted , but it is removable & really just 4 looks.

i cant really talk about price in this Thread , but i have a bunch of time in assembling in this thing & it really comes down to the time involved building it on the pricing.

ecoli was refering to your post where you said you could sell some for $150. That's kinda a "no no" and you might get your wee wee slapped. Might sound to some like you're trying to sell them outside the classified section without the blue vendor star
