I've not seen a "front corner" protection diamond plate setup.
HAVE YOU?
I'm speaking of a corner plate protection, where the running light is located that would wrap to the front. Similar to the common rear corner protection you see at most 'parts' places.
If I can't find any, I'll be making some in the next week.
Let me know!

Hell I can't even figure out a good way to bend my rear corners to install them..... And you want to make them for the front... :laugh:
Great, I see more of my hard earned $$$ being spent on yet another mod..... ;)

The rears... I just threw up my hands and bought'em. Costly little suckers.
The fronts, I'll make out of steel (since it takes too long for me to re-setup my MIG for alum. and I'm horrible at TIG'ing alum). I won't be bending them, but making two pieces (a side and front) and welding them together. Grinding down the corner so it's more "round" then just a flat edge welded together. Plus, the front will be a bit curved to match the body, like the side.
The steel diamond plate was a rem from my local supply house. A 2' x 2' piece, for about $15.00 (if memory serves me right). It's as thin as the alum. or even thinner. And will provide even more protection. This stuff is darn strong.
... I'll rattle can them flat-black to match the rest of the 'build'. And of course, I'll take some pictures. ;)

Does anyone make the steel treadplate rear corners? All I find is the aluminum ones. I'll end up painting them anyway so the cheaper/stronger steel plate is what I'd rather have if possible...
