Please send to jerrami@fairpoint.net if you will. Thanks.
I'd also like to see, do you use the stock snowflap??? Where did he get his? Could you send me some pics also? gregerson@q.com thanks

He got his right from BDX: http://www.bd-xtreme.com He is not going to use the stock snowflap, I'm sure you could make a bracket somehow to mount it, but I believe he is going with an aftermarket long one something like van amburg makes. I will probably be posting some pics later on this weekend hopefully if I can get some. Hope this helps.

wondering if i could get some of those pis of 1m chassis also. bullseyetaxi@msn.com thanks dan
It is taking too long to get pics. The snow is flying here in Idaho.
I have a great idea. Mike, send me a kit and I will put it on my sled this weekend. In exchange, I will provide high resolution pictures (with excellent contrast and back lighting) from all angles, close ups...oh yeah, they will be in color too
Cheers!

Well here are some pictures of Darin's sled. They might not be the best pictures, but they will have to do since everyone is anxious to see. I believe he is also going to be putting a Van Amburg snow flap on as well which should look pretty sweet.
I also like Perk's idea, Mike if you want to go ahead and send me a bumper kit, PM me for my address lol

Just an FYI SLP is a good customer of ours, they are reselling our bumper kits. They carry our full line.

Nice, lets see them pics of the unpainted version.
Looks to me that you better be carefull dragging that cooler when you got the front end up because theres not much holding it on

We were looking at that to. I think what Darin is going to do is get a piece of aluminum and bend it over for better support and to mount/hold the snowflap up. That and the rear bumper should hit the ground or snow before the cooler does, as long as it isn't something really sharp or hard enough to catch it really good. Or at least we hope. But don't get me wrong, it does hang down like you mentioned. Maybe I will post some pics when he gets the piece bent up and his snowflap mounted.
Mike, what is your input on this?

Are you talking about the triangular pieces on the sides? If so, they were cut off, you can kind of see it on the last pic. I think they were cut off because when the stock bumper is mounted, the bolts that held the bumper on went through the brace. And I think since the BDX bumper was put on, the braces didn't serve much of a purpose?? Maybe Mike will let us in on his secret
Trent
I think those brackets are definatly required as far as im concerened because if by chance not real likely with the bumper hanging out but very possible that is going to hit it and put pressure put on in and its gunna rock back because its basically teetering on that lip that the rivits are in and without support on the bottom back edge it will pull your hoses off and then you have problems. Ill have to post some pictures of mine if my parts ever get cut out because im making my own kit with some vanamburg tunnel edges and some homemade brackets to support the cooler and a custom rear bumper after i tapered the tunnel.
