In adherence to the current trend of DIY Savvy inspired tub rails, I have some 6061t6 bar stock.

Get it from Alreco? If not, I recommend checking them out for any future needs.

That's were I went. I don't go there often, but I have been going there for many years!

It’s where I do all my Christmas shopping!

Unless someone has found a way to get a smooth bend without steps, my plan is to make straight sticks that stop at the radius.
Yes they did.ranger to 97 and explorer to 94 or so.some had autohubs,some manual.the ttb trucks are what you're looking for
And not trim them in my shop......
I need to route mine so Josh has his router and bit back. That will be done at home this time.

Got these for sometime in the future.

I want to eventually clean things up and I want to get rid of the flares on both ends.
OP
I was surprised about how much room these keep. It may not be everything you have, but I bet much of it will be unchanged.

I'll need to study yours at some point along with the pics Blaine has been posting recently. The only extra things I have in there are the TCM, winch controller, and an extra PDC. The horns and trickle charger can easily go elsewhere.

Last weekend at Wheeler Lake!

The battery tray is pretty much crap. They don't understand bracing and movement under load. The little bent leg that goes down to the hole in the fender controls front to back movement reasonably well, it does nothing for side to side. The bent leg should have a gusset welded to it up to the bottom of the tray to tighten that up.
The two long legs down to the studs on the firewall are way too long with no bracing. They let the tray move fore and aft as well as pivoting around the little bent leg to the fender. We have repaired 2-3 firewalls where the Poison Spyder and similar trays have ripped out the studs after a lot of vibration. The fore and aft movement needs to be constrained very well. It is also very easy to figure out. Set the battery on it and shake it. You will see the directions it moves. Those need to be stopped.
We can't use the factory battery tray since it raises the battery up by another 1/2" or so and it is already too high.
