Looks pretty good! Did you pull any trim or anything when you painted your Brat?

  • Author

naw im to lazy spray and scrap it with a razor blade i did pull the trim around the bed though everything else got sprayed :D and im missing the rear trim for both sides of the bed

i always wanted to mount two tires , one on either side as spares.....like where you get the cubby hole from the cant inward by the bars.

 

then a surfboard on top with all of the beach gear in the basket,like how i had it mounted.

 

looks weird to me in another brat...........nice though.............you came out way cheap on that............looks good though.

now, don't go rolling it.....that is all cosmetic,it would buckle in a heartbeat.it is stout,but being only mounted to your bed i would not test it .

 

besides,youd ruin that beautiful piece of art i created....:grin::rolleyes:

 

 

cheers, brian

i am a member of that forum.... but i havent been active on it since i sold my 1983 toyota DLX pickup

 

 

I spy a nw-wheelers.com sticker, whose does it be??

I believe some people in my area would call that a "menagerie" of some sorts. It is definitely interesting. And it would look way cooler with a surfboard on top!:)

well, that menagerie is actual brat rollbar,from front-to back.....

the front was a gen2 rollbar,and the one out back is a gen1 rollbar flipped aroiund and the "legs" trimmed on it.

 

it took me 2 yrs to find those pieces,and about 3 days to put them together that way.i spent an entire day from morning till almost dark just setting up the middle bars to see how they would look right.....

 

miniscule cut here, tiny cut there.......it seems rather simple , but was not as simple as it could have been seeing as how they are different widths....cheers, brian

check out the roof rack that took me 5 hours of cutting grinding and welding.... but hey it only cost 60 bucks to make.... and if you saw the welds you would laugh but i tried hahaha (ps the industrial zip ties are temporary till i figure out how to fasten it)

NICE!.......told ya you could do it.;)

 

now ya just need a rear bumper:lol:.cheers, brian

Looks pretty decent!! Nice job. When I did my rear bumper, I just used some square box tubing and bolted them near the stock location. Then I welded a tube onto the end of the box tubing. It was very easy and very simple.

that was a dig at him J.......he was asking me about my tube bumper on the rear of the brat insinuating that he wanted to buy it.bu tit is poorly done and would not feel right about selling it to someone.cheers, rbain

i dont know if my fluxcore welder can be trusted for bumper building :lol:

 

As long as you crank the power up and bump up the wire speed it should be ok. Especially if you bevel the ends of the box tubing. That's what I used and it's very strong! I'll rip it off the Brat before it will break.

haha well i just lost some hours at work so.... not alot more money can go into my brat at this time.... why does the economy have to suck so much?

Ahhh, I remember now:rolleyes:But still, he's gotta have a rugged bumper! Mine isn't great looking either but it serves it's purpose, and is much stronger than the stock one!:lol:
