Made some decent progress on the TRX rear tow hook brackets today. I should get to spend a few hours on them over the next few days and get them finished. As soon as this prototype is finished, I will get it into CAD, sending it to my laser cutter and testing the first batch received to make sure no adjustments are needed. It will be full on production after that. So far all of this was cut by hand. The laser cut parts will be much cleaner.

You can follow him on FB or IG. Progress is pretty steady on there.

Sorry I've been away for a while. Here is a photo dump. I am getting these into CAD and sent off to laser cutting over the weekend. I'm hoping to get my first set back from laser in the next week so I can test fit and if all is well, I will place a bulk order and start taking orders. I won't have an exact price until I get them back from laser and get powder coating costs. I will offer them bare steel and powder coated.

Should move this post to a NSFW thread due to weld porn. Just sayin' 🤣

My wife came up with the great idea to ask the laser cutter for the drops of the gear logo in the middle. We will make some key chains and weld tags for other items that don't or can't have the logo cut in to it. Anything else you can think of they can be useful for?

Do you have any idea if this set up would work on the 2500's ?? I think this would be a great addition to my 21 Laramie !!! LOVE the look of them and they would be functional for me as well !!

I have a buddy with a 2021 2500 I'll be checking his out to see if they will work. If they don't I may see if there is enough interest to design and start manufacturing a 2500 specific set.
