What's the story?? It looks great and is exactly what I've wanted. (I feel the ARB is a bit BIG) Carl   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Senior Member Username: Deanbrown3d Post Number: 804 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 11:25 am:    Hello Carl! I cut the brush bar about 1/4" below the second cross bar, and welded two flat horizontal plates to the bottom of the main tubes. Smaller front vertical plates are welded onto each of these. 1/2" bolts go through each of these 4 plates and are tapped into the RTE, which is 1/4" thick. In addition, one bolt each side at the back helps strengthen sides so they don't move. I welded on limb riser tabs too, which go right through the top and out of the bottom of the side bar. If you want close-ups let me know. Or better still come down this weekend for the pine barrens trip Dean   Kenny Bissett (Jetson) Member Username: Jetson Post Number: 65 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 01:14 pm:    Dean, I want close-ups! kbissett@satx.rr.com Thanks!   Carl E.

I like the slim bumper, and stock bar look. I bet it does well in the Pine'ies Is this a one shot deal, or will you be making (adapting more bars) for D-web "friends"??? ..at your usual production rate of coarse.   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Senior Member Username: Deanbrown3d Post Number: 806 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:01 am:    Carl, I'm considering it!   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Senior Member Username: Deanbrown3d Post Number: 807 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:16 am:    Here: Front plate: Side bracket: Limb riser tabs:   Carl E.
