Well the wife took the camera on her vacation and she wont be back until the 29th. If pics can wait til then I will get one, meanwhile I will be scowering through all my pics to see if I have one of it.
 
LOL! Thats ok Obeast don't trouble yourself, unless others would like to see it. Im probably just gonna settle on either the AJS stand or the one Rob will be making available soon. But thanks for goin thru the effort anyhow I appreciate it.... :)
 
Rob: It is a nice stand and I would be curious to see the custom plate on the top. Would you happen to have a picture of the plate for the Rampage MT? A good thing with this stand Lightning 73 is that you can work on it at the pit, what I mean is the stand is tall enough to work on your truck will being up on your feet instead of being sit at your work table! Let us know Rob when or if you get a pic? :D

Probably a few weeks. I have to sell out of the Baja stands before I make more of those.


I haven;t designed it yet, but I will tonight.
 
I just use one of those folding tables and take the tires off the vehicle and use them as a stand. I can fit 3-5 vehicles on one table. $40 at Lowes. Cheap and easy.
 
Here's my custom Rigid stand. Pic 1: I chopped the top off the main beam and welded in a swivel system. Also I added a height adjustable mount for a tool trayPic 2: The finished tool tray. It has a second layer of lexan over the top to protect the stickies.Pic 3: You can see the swivel lock handle and the handle to adjust the tray height. Also before you ask that's the Jetpro MCD side pipe.PS: I'm designing up a 3 piece multi level folding tray. Kinda like a tackle box kinda tray. I'll post some pics of the 3D drawing later when I get home. It's pretty slick... at least in CAD. Fabricating it up is gonna be a PITA.

Ok Catchaser, don't be suprise if your Rigid stand get stolen, hihi... What a nice stand, fantastic job! :) I have a question for you though, are you planing to sell some of your stand because I know that a lot of people would be interested in it, including me? Let me know.


Thanks,


Yannik
 
I asked friends to keep an eye out for a cheapy swivel chair ready for or in the garbage (OR on the curb for some of you that go there like me..lol). A guy at work brought one in last month.


I took the back off and cut down a five gallon bucket, fits perfect and tools / screws can be held in chair area and the chair shaft allows it to raise up and down when needed.

Well I did have a heads up ;)


Both cars are sweet, DS motors and all.


The Jetpro doesn't look too bad on there. I just wonder how much of the body you gotta rape to mount it.
 
Wow that went over mine too, I don't know a lot of 1/5 brands so I assumed it was an MCD or FG ....lol


Sooo Catchaser how did you come to own to these new beeeauties. :)
