So, you drooled on your Ranger, and then just let the rain rinse it off ???
Spot free I hope !!!

Just finished the Tuwa Pro Shiprock headache rack, tonneau lost in shipping somewhere so whenever that comes it'll be next. Don't see anyone running anything from Tuwa but I think its pretty nice and should let me sneak in the cover.

Looks great but I cant find it on their website?

Oh, no. I had the wife out there with a chamois wiping off the whole time. Before you say anything, I encouraged her to take her umbrella... I'm not heartless.....

I have had this vision in my skull for some time now. Had most of the day off today and decided to see how it would look. My main goal initially was to make some Tremor Nostril wannabe’s as well as adding the flair to the inner area. Put a nostril on one side and felt it was too much but kept the subtle flair. Not exactly a perfect cut, but will work for now as I work through some aggressive real world speed and weather testing…

Thoughts?

While it's still a little ways away from being put on the truck, I hit a milestone on my chase rack project I've been working on since March!

A little too much red for me, maybe.
Since you asked.

Want to feel extra good about your project? Then just imagine what one of these Gucci off-road companies would charge customers for this product and you know the actual material cost involved.

@AghastVenus1 Edit: Speaking of which can I get some information on what actuators or step-motors you are using. I've been wanting to learn to set them up for some of my own projects.

@AghastVenus1 Edit: Speaking of which can I get some information on what actuators or step-motors you are using. I've been wanting to learn to set them up for some of my own projects.

I took some inspiration from Go Rhino's Sport Bar 2.0. They use a linear actuator to rotate a flat plate into position. I'm also using a linear actuator to push straight up on the lid. There's a set of brackets loosely holding the light bar to the lid so it can pivot as it gets lifted, and another set of brackets at the front of the bar attached slots in the bottom half to keep it pointed forward.

In order to make it work with only one of the Tremor's normally open upfitters, I'm using a combination of a standard relay along with a motor reversing relay. By default, the actuator will be connected to the retract circuit. It has limit switches built in so as to not burn things out. When I flip the switch, the standard relay will activate and change states on the reversing relay to extend the actuator while the lights bar is wired in parallel with the actuator extend circuit.

And to give an idea, I think Go Rhino's bar is around $1200 without the light while I'm making Mine almost entirely out of scrap metal I found in the dumpsters at work.
