Small action video...

looks good red, good work. definitely needs rollers

Awesome.

Thanks everyone.

Just a little updte, nothing much. I was driving up and over a snowbank and when i came off the backside i slid into a fence and smashed out my lights. ****. So now im looking for a 4 1/2" lense, shouldn't be super hard to find right? Yea, moving the lights off the bumper.


I think if i have time ill work on a fairlead too, and a little bumper add on of sorts that will protect the sprocket up front.

How can I put this, I told ya so!!

Huh? When was that?

Try looking at farmall tractor lenses. My dad has a farmall super A and the lenses look just like that.

I was close they are a quarter of an inch too big http://antique-tractor-parts.steinertractor.com/tractor/Farmall-Lens

just cut 2 circles outta clear plexi... It aint likely the last time you'll bust 'em.

Yeah plexiglass is cheap just buy a big sheet of it and cut out circles when you need them. Because glass isn't so cheap.

Already found some lenses

Ok cool

Started on the fairlead today, just making my own instead. Free!



I explain in the video that the reason why its so wide and not a skinny opening is that i plan on running a slightly bigger hook, and if the winch was to keep spooling and i didnt stop it in time, it would kinda self destruct due to the hook being caught in the fairlead.

came out great! i see you got a new "eye" too

I'd say it did. Junkyard tractor lense. Took about 3 hours to make that, tedious
