Tube guards for sure make them in line with the tyres loving the crazy build man keep it up ❤

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

Going to see what that looks like

[@cooper633]

Amazing build man, i have never been keener to see the finish. This is truly the best build i have ever seen. Love your work man, take your time with it. Build it how you want it. Looks mint, stacks are hot as on this rig.

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

Thanks heaps mate

[@liamwhite1158]

I can’t wait for this to be finished !!

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

You and I both

[@2UZFE]

Tube bars and stacks ! 👍🍻😎

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

its coming boy

[@cadwithcorey]

Hey mate , good work . I recon the sheet metal guards on the tray 👍🏽👍🏽

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

not sure aye, tube will protect the vehicle but sheet metal looks nice

[@grizzly4x4]

Im not usually a huge fan of tube guards but I think the whole theme of this rig is “uniformity” and having scrub bars, sliders and tube guards looking almost continuous around the rig would look so sleek. They’re also very practical and would love to see what your take on them would look like!!

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

Kind of my thought process also I could make good looking sheet steel guards but it will make the overall tray prone to damage when it comes to brushing up against banks or trees

[@stevethomason351]

Big yes to the stacks I reckon.

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

Check out today’s video

[@myopinion69420]

I thing you should do sheet for the wheel arches on the back, tie it into the rear. Stacks look good on a 'tough' vehicle like this. they look stupid on an otherwise stock ute, but something like this they look good. you could take a pair of the rear springs out while building it, see if it sits closer to the wanted ride height.

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

Yeah it's a hard choice I like the look of sheet steel guards but I'm worried I'll mangle them up off Road. Yeah I think I can get away with stacks on this unlike a hilux or something I used to have one set of springs only in the rear and it didn't make too much difference because they're practically at full extension I might dig out my 2 inch springs or just make solid polls where the springs should go to build it

[@Magnano9]

Tube guards to blend the tube bull bar hoops. Do stack.

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

Need video is the stacks I’ve started them and looking good, still can’t make to my mind on guards? I think sheet steel will look nicer be tube will be stronger and I’ll not be so worried about damage with tube

[@Magnano9]

@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION yeah strength for sure. I reckon it will tie in the with the front as well having the tubes. Even with the rock sliders. Can't wait to see what you have come up with.

[@Toyota71]

Scrub bar rear guards that tie into rock sliders and front scrub bars and if you keep the stacks low with a 45 degree tip to match the snorkels might work otherwise twin exhaust out back

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

I also think tube rear guards will be a safe option when I take it off Road in the future, 45° tips look nice sometimes but I think with the way I'm building it I'm gonna keep them square but shorter

[@jaxonmccormick6434]

You should do twin stacks. Would look sweet. May I ask, what motor this has in it? And what size turbo

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

It runs a 1hdt with a Borgwarner k27 turbo but I'm selling that set up because I what to try do a compound turbo set up

[@jaxonmccormick6434]

@@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION sweet!

[@whiteknight1213]

Do plate guards on the tray not tube

[@chrispyskiwiadventures3583]

I’m a builder bro and be happy to help ya with the timber work. Would look real cool and unique 🤙🤙

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

sounds good mate

[@charliemutlow2854]

Twin stacks twin snorkel would be sick

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

Yes twin snorkels and twin stacks

[@NZoverlanding]

Dropped out behind rear wheels .

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

I did think about it but with two diffs and the water tanks ect and every think that's going in the chassis would make it a bit hard and I love stacks
