A shitter pipe catcher's mask - what a work of art. The LR3 is approaching $2500 Disco territory with these mods...

Are those EE elbows?

Where do you go from there? All that's left is a wooden rear bumper.

I think you guys areissing that it is a color matched catcher's mask. That's gotta count for something.

I think the lamps are the strongest part up there. Maybe they will keep that PVC cage from getting torn all the way off.

For a mockup to take to a fabricator that is smart. I don't see the necessity for a light guard like that on an LR3 ever... even in moose territory.


I should have posted a pick of my coolant hose mockup made from duct tape and toilet paper and paper towel rolls. I could have been an eternal dweb meme.

Build a grille with the two lights built into it. Move the LR logo to the middle.

At least Dan's tilted so you could get the hood open in about three or four hours.

Holy crap- yes- some of the yungsters wont remember that...

A good hard oak with a nice stain would serve well.

It pains me to type this, but that was a mock-up. Still, no matter the material those are shit ideas.

I thought it might be a tumbleweed guard. Needs a few light bars.

Anything conceptualized with PVC won't see any car I own. I question the LR lights that are on mine.

But the license plate holder is made from diamond plate...or at least something that is supposed to look like diamond plate. And it's from Texas. Those two factors should count for something. As for the roof rack and lights...the word "janky" springs to mind.
