I vote for this one angled up a bit.

well if everyone wants it angled then thats how I will make them. I can custom make them pretty easily. The design is pretty simple. I have tried to take into account of those with a lip kit. I will just need a measurement from the bar down to the bottom of the lip kit.

any updates? :)

YAR1S · 10-16-2009, 08:19 PM

I like the more curved ones but anything you will make should be good.

BUMP - Changed first Post :p

refer to first OP.

RHDVIPbB · 10-22-2009, 09:28 PM

cool. My design is similar to that. I will be using the two holes on the factory to mount to.

Good news guys, I will start cutting next week, so expect a batch to be done by November. Any kinks will be worked out. They will be the vertical ones for now. I might do the flat ones shortly after if there is a demand. Sorry to keep you all waiting but I promise it will be worth it

YAR1S · 10-22-2009, 09:35 PM

those are the factory holes in my design.
should be interested to compare yours and mine and how they come out.

Also, any possibility of a matching front tow hook?

RHDVIPbB · 10-22-2009, 09:57 PM

Where it will be mounted should make it useable. I don't see a reason to make a front one because there are a few already on the market.

Mine will be less curved and more angled. Will help reduce flex.

Sounds good, can't wait! Any idea on a price yet?

I might borrow DandiDani hb and also use my sedan to see if I could come up with something. Would you want something for looks or to be functional also? I only ask because it would depend on the thickness of the material I would use.

Why not make a polyurethane mold in between the space and use that as a mounting for a bolt. Would make it easier to install and keep the rigidity of the foundation

RHDVIPbB · 10-24-2009, 07:11 PM

I do plan on using spacers for the bolts. I don't have the ability to make a mold like that, but I could cut it out myself. I still have time to play with it.
