So, kon vanaand na Jobedi/Melkrivier 4X4 roete se kampery weer so 'n bietjie werk. Die pyp is nou vas gesweis - Sorry Oom Eric - agtertoe. Ek het die gewig vir die bumper die vorige keer ook so 'n klein bietjie verkeerd gehad - met 'n hele 10kg

Nou nog net die high lift jack points dan kan ek begin dink aan verf. Die bumper het gister sy maiden voyage gehad - naked ..... sonder verf

Eish Oom Eric, dis nou te laat. Regop lyk hy nie so mooi vir my nie. Ek is ook te bang die pyp gaan te laag wees en dit gaan nou moeilik wees om hom in die afsny masjien te sit - die lang punte is nou af waaraan ek hom ge-clamp het.

OK Louis, dan die tweedebeste keuse is waar hy na die bonnet toe slope. Hoop jy kan nog jou vingers in kry om die bonnet oop te maak...

Die hele hand gaan in

Post by **Family_Dog** » Fri Aug 16, 2013 7:21 pm

Kom die hele hand ook weer uit?

Lyk baie goed, Louis!

Ry toe vandag Menlyn Road Worthy Centre toe om vir 'n nommerplaat houer te koop vir my bumper. Daar stop toe 'n ander Hilux agter my. Die ou noem my toe sommer op my naam en ek wonder nou van waar af ken ek die man. Hallo Tabo (Grobler) bly om te kon ontmoet

.

Jy kan nie sommer net die nommerplaat houertjie koop nie. Nee, jy moet registrasie nommer en alles gee - wonder of dit rêrig help

.

Ek het vandag toe die high lift jack points ingesit en ook sommer die spot light brackets (die wat in die bumper pas) klaar gemaak

. Ek het vir my een van daai "step drills" gekoop - man werk die ding lekker.

Het vandag die laaste goed gedoen. Ek het die gate vir die recover hooks geboor - ek sien dit is altyd 'n gesukkel om plek te kry om die bridal vas te maak - so die hake is net vir die bridal. Ek het ook plek gemaak vir 'n aerial op die bumper - my dak rak moet terug. Dit is nie ideaal nie, maar die dak aerial kan 'n probleem wees met 'n dakrak. More gaan my bumper in vir e-coat en hopelik kan ek Saterdag verf. Hier is so 2 fotos van vandag se werk.

Louis, die 'nudge bar' lyk nou asof dit regop is, nie meer getilt nie?

Die antenna sal werk, maar gaan nie so effektief wees as 'n dak antenna nie. Sal doen vir convoy ryery.

Die bumper staan vandag nog sodat die verf behoorlik kans kry om droog te word. Gaan probeer om hom more gou op te sit.

Jy moet bici n "before and after" foto vd bakkie neem nadat hy op is. My gat jeuk vreeslik vir so bumper maar sukkel nog om "almal" te oortuig dat dit gaan beter lyk as die standaard bumper.

Al wat ek kan se is dat dit n meester stuk werk is wat jy gedoen het "ONVERBETERLIK"

Wanneer kan ek my SFA by jou kom los vir so n bumper?

MOFASA · Post by **MOFASA** » Sun Aug 25, 2013 9:19 am

Really AWSUM job you have done there.... Look like it was purchased from a bumper builder...

Maybe you can help me with my Prado bumper....

A bumber for the prado will cost me R28k fitted....

I bet the material and labour works out to about R10k and they just wack you R28k.....

Oom Dawie en Johno

My volgende projek is 'n Fortuner Bumper en daarna kan ons kyk. Ek wil nou eers vir so 'n klein rukkie rus

- het elke aand 'n bietjie gedoen, glo my, ek is 'n meester in bumpers op sit en afhaal

. Ek het my ontwerp al so 'n bietjie verbeter, so die volgende IFS bumper sal heelwat vinniger gaan

louis fourie · Post by **louis fourie** » Sun Aug 25, 2013 6:27 pm

So, before I put the final photos on, I firstly want to thank everybody that gave ideas, advice - whether it was an opinion about the spots or a light bar or the way the pipe must stand, i.e. forward or backwards etc. etc. etc. It is highly appreciated. As I said at the beginning, this will be a long project - it took nearly 4 months, but at the end I am happy with the outcome.

Die DIY gedeelte van die website is vir my die interressantste en ek geniet dit die altyd die meeste. Na elke groot projek dan sê ek, ek sal dit nooit weer doen nie, maar die DIY is waar ek baie keer weer die moed en die dryf kry om weer iets groots aan te pak. Iets wat ek nog nooit voorheen gedoen het nie. Die bumper was die eerste keer dat ek rêrig met buig werk te doen gekry het, en dit is lekker om te sien dat 'n ontvouing na die buig mooi plat op 'n tafel staan.

Allen (Hoppy), ek het klaar gaan kyk en sal 'n hele paar kilogram kan afskud van my ontwerp sonder dat ek sterkte hoef in te boet - dankie, jy het 'n paar idees in my kop gesit.

Oom Eric, die bumper se pyp staan rêrig net omtrent 3° na agter, so amper regop soos wat dammit aan 'n vloek woord is

.

Al die ander ouens wat positiewe kommentaar gehad het en dalk nog gaan hê, dankie, dit laat mens aangaan met dit waarmee jy begin het en dit laat my al klaar weer moed skep vir die volgende projek - Watch this space

Die HILUX 4X4 Club is tops

Dit is darem seker lekker om jouself op die skouer te tik en te se ek het die bumper gebou en niemand anders her so een nie.

Well done Louis

Louis, dit lyk fantasties! Ek sien die 3° is baie min - vir een of ander rede dit het meer gelyk in jou oorspronklike pic.

A job very well done, you deserve to be proud of it!!
