Nice man! You using a go pro? Looks awesome!

ericcris10sen · Feb 14, 2014

Seriously awesome man.

ericcris10sen · Feb 14, 2014

Hey, I sent you a PM terror, I was wondering what your very first push bar was. I can't find that kind anywhere.

Replied, something my buddy and I made, just a few bars welded to the factory front cross member

Hey where's the on-board video from Steel Bender????

xterror04 · Mar 8, 2014

I'll have to ask my buddy I know he took one but he has probably been through 6 different phones by now

NismoFire · Mar 8, 2014

You had a GoPro on the rear quarter... That's the video I wanna see.

gamecock257 · Mar 8, 2014

Great vids man. Makes me want to go to Moab even more. Steel Bender has got to be one of the most intimidating things ever.

Steel bender was intimidating but insanely fun... I'll have to search for that video

How many rigs have actually endo'd on Steel Bender?

NMTerras · Mar 10, 2014

Define endo'd? We all pretty much do on the drop - no way around it. Truthfully it was scarier watching other rigs before me than the actual drop. I did bend the driver's side front edge of rad skid

xterror04 · Mar 10, 2014

If you mean how many had the rear wheels pop up there were like 3 of us

NismoFire · Mar 10, 2014

No, mean roll end over end....

NMTerras · Mar 10, 2014

Then, none that I know of. Rolling over the front would send you off a small cliff, so...didn't see any wreckage down there.

xterror04 · Mar 10, 2014

You would have to do something real stupid to roll end over end

rokdaddy · Mar 10, 2014

Hey Luke,

Did you end up having to buy pinion shims when you installed the new gears? If so, where did you get them?

-Rok

xterror04 · Mar 10, 2014

I did not, I got lucky... From what I found dana 60 shims will work on the rear

xterror04 · May 21, 2014

Main part of my new rear bumper

mudchet · May 21, 2014

Looks good! Are you fabbin that yourself?

xterror04 · May 21, 2014

Yep this is all me

Prime · May 22, 2014

That looks pretty cool!

Timrich · May 22, 2014

Lookin good buddy!

Digging the digital camo, I've had my eye on that wrap for quite some time now…just haven't pulled the trigger!

xterror04 · Oct 16, 2014

Long overdue update,

First off I got tired of bending idler arms... i have been through 6+ of them... well digging through old pathfinder forums I found where they would take a manual steering box from a hardbody and dremel the holes out a bit and slap it on the passenger side as a idler arm.... Well i could not find a manual box... so I got a power steering box and gutted it... and it works Awesome!

Next I wrapped the Hood

At went 2014 I smashed my gas tank

Installed Molle Panels

And built a new tire carrier

bottobro · Oct 17, 2014

Came out good Luke!

Prime · Oct 18, 2014

The notion of using a steering box for an idler arm is intriguing! More details?

drbandkgb · Oct 18, 2014

Looking good man.. Much better than your old bumper

Al you need to do is pull out the worm gear... Slightly dremel the mounting holes... Then slap it on... If you use a manual gear box you have to get a power steering pitman arm because the arm is longer...

shanostyle · Oct 27, 2014

Hey when you installed those molle panels, did you have to order the metal hooks that screw into the roof? Mine came with plastic clips that don't allow it to work.

Yes it uses the metal hook to start as a holder for when you start the install.

my x has these plastic loops. Anyone know the part number on the metal hooks?

xterror04 · Feb 22, 2015

Well after a lot of debate, and research I have started a SAS

xterror04 · Feb 22, 2015

I am using the D21 bell shackle kit from calmini and using a dana 44 from a jeep grand wagoneer, I found some chevy front leaves for cheap and had everything mocked up with them but once I had weight on the leaves things were not lining up well....

They measure the same length as waggy springs but the center pin is not offset enough so I am having clearance issues with the oil pan... I ordered waggy springs today and hope to have this running again next weekend
