Worked on it a bit today. I got it all bolted together and welded in all the nuts to the unibody stiffeners.


I tried to hole saw the unibody but for some reason the metal grabbed oddly and it ended up breaking the teeth off 3 hole saws. I ended up using the plasma cutter to cut the holes on the unibody to recess the nuts into. Here is the end result. They are partially welded in then I ran out of time.

sorry for the shitty pics. Its a camera phone. Im lying on the floor.

Spent most of the day getting the hydraulics on the bender. The first brace I made was cool looking and elborate but in the end wouldn't hold up. In the end I built another one out of the 2x2x.250 that I was going to use for my long arms But now it works awesome.
Here is a blurry ass pic of the bender ready for use.


Here is the test piece after I got it all working.


I figured since it bends so nice I should add a transfer case skid to my cross member. I have to skin it later in the week with some 3/16 or 1/4

NICE fucking bend that machine puts out.

good call adding skiddery to the crossmember, only way to go.

[CSaddict]
