Campground Cruiser II

thanks Big.. when you say nerf bars, do you mean on the side or back?

small update... i got the top almost on. still need to drill the holes on one side. i've been driving it around my neighborhood trying to break it before powdercoat. I still need to put the footpegs on and spare tire carrier... and also mount the lights. but, anyways... here is a pic with the top:

I'm really impressed with this build! What do you use to bend your tubing?

Looks pretty sweet! When's the video coming?

 

[wheels]

Thanks guys.

Keegan, i'm using a Pro Tools 105. not the best bender out there, but i love it.

r97, video coming as soon as it's powdercoated.

This is a great build. Looking forward to seeing it back from powdercoat and assembled!

Looks like one of those baja buggies just smaller and with a steering column sticking up the front haha

Thanks TED, i appreciate it. i've started to debate what color i'm going with... so, as soon as i decide, i'll get it powdercoated.

Thanks for validating my build Brandon... that's exactly the look i was going for with this one. now that i think about it... i was going more for a trophy truck/baja buggy look. but, close enough i guess. lol

Looks cool man. What kind of tubing bender are you using?

 

[wheels]

thanks Schmidt. my bender is a Pro Tools 105... like i mentioned earlier, i love it.

 

[cant kech me]

get a vid! i wanna see it in action! im thinking blue for the frame and white handlebars and rims and seat!

 

[wheels]

cant kech me, blue would be cool! but, i've actually decided on Candy apple green.


quick update:

got a lot accomplished today and really only have one thing left to do: chain tensioner.



started with the footpegs... i wasn't really looking forward to these at all, but it turned out easier than i thought:

pieces:

and then partially welded:

spare tire carrier(without tire):

spare tire carrier(with tire on):

brake light mounts:

LED Brake lights mounted:

and last but not least... head lights(will be painted black):

that's it. i should be breaking it down this upcoming week for powdercoat.



thanks for looking.

Thanks guys.

Souper, it hasn't been painted yet... I got all the wiring worked out and the switches, so i have one more thing to do to it and then i'll break it down. i might go ahead and break it down this weekend so i can take it for powdercoat next week.
