    Bully Bar with Offset

    I wasn't sure if I should title this thread:

    Bully Bar with offset from hell

    or

    Measure once ... cut twice

    or

    Don't be messin wit my hiney!







    Not to worry though. I haven't completely lost my Engineering skils. The Bully Bar is for the RV, not the VX.

    Are you bring this with you to the meet next weekend? Probably would save your @$$ (literally) when driving down I-95/64 through Hurricane Earl.

    Nah.

    95 between Richmond & F'burg is so rough, that I'd probably dig an edge & endo down the Hwy.

    Last time we made that trip in the RV, it bounced so bad that the microwave oven jumped out of it's retainers.

    Hmmm, you just gave me a new idea for a new bumper....

    See, this is why I can't do custom fabrication. I could only have 2 feet of material, yet somehow it would expand to being 7 feet long and fit just like that just to spite me.

    My fab skills STINK! LOL!
