    MAKING PROGRESS ON CUSTOM MADE TAIL LIGHT GUARDS!
    Took the pics of Doug's installed tail guards to the off-road fab shop today.


    1) Discussed details to fab a replica of the Rodeo guard and create 3 tabs for mounting, with appropriate shape/angle so it clears back door. Will be round/tubular style, with 4 horizontal bars within the frame. Made from mild steel. Can get them powder-coated black locally.

    2) Also requested he try to re-shape the stainless steel set I got on ebay, with the flat metal design and basically find a way to make these work. I want these to be really close to the lens, so we'll see what he can do.

    He has time next week, so he'll call me to set up firm appt. and I'll leave my VX for the day.

    to be continued.....
