Last few weeks I extended my MBRP rack. The off-the-shelf MBRP rack doesnt fit with an AEV style snorkel - duh. So I set about designing and fabricating one that would fit. I use Solidworks everyday for work, so that was the easy bit. Sourcing the laser cutting at a reasonable price, roping my mate in to do the welding and finding a powdercoater were the pain in the arse bits.
Anyway turned out OK. Here's some pics.
Design (I changed the longitudinal bars to be a bent style to fit the front hoop, but buggered if i can find the pic on photobucket). You will also see one of my awning mounts (mounted to a fourtreks tube clamp).
Lasered and folded brackets (you will also see some end caps for my DBOR bar, and a rear tailgate drop down table - stay tuned!)
CNC mandrel bent tubes
Progress pic (didnt take many - oops)
Finished product
Windscreen bar will be similar to pics below and fit just inside the outer edge and snug close to side profile line. Pics next week.
