very nice job! you do some pretty impressive work, man

 

[The Warrior]

you do some pretty impressive work, man

Yes he does.

 

[K9-Handler]

What does a jimping machine look like?

A surface grinder with a really, really thin wheel...

 

[K9-Handler]

You even swedged it..... I freakin love that thing LOL

First swedge of my life. Sweatin' bullets on that one. Didn't come out great, but good enough.

 

[K9-Handler]

What did you use to get that finish?

Media blast to remove the [new, heavy] coating, lots of sandpaper, buffing wheel with compound.
The photos actually look better than real life. Not the best polishing job, but I didn't have it in me to sand any more. :jerkit:


Thanks for the compliments, guys.

 

[thrillbilly]

Since the swedge sucks and the polish aint mirror enuff....I will dispose of it for ya.

Don't down play it. It's great work.

 

[Vulcan-2295]

You, sir, have done a beautiful thing here

 

[K9-Handler]

I just scrolled back up for another look. I still love it.

I do the same thing. And I built it!

I have checked this thread like 10 times. it's still smexy.

 

[K9-Handler]

it's still smexy.

Is that how they say "sexy" in Mexican?

 

[CamH_16]

This is awesome K-9! I thought about doing this to my 16 actually since its the only non customized becker I have but I'd have never pulled it off as good as you did, particularly the swedge...How did you grind that? Great work again man .

I'd buy two, one to stare at and the other to take down all the trees! Very nice mod, I'm inspired by the jimping as well, I'm almost close to making the jump.

I tried to jimp my 2. Thanks God I did it lightly. Couldn't get it even. Screwed my 13 up too, haha.

 

[texas4x4hoe]

That's a pretty sweet looking 17.

 

[Cwilliamson]

I'm with you Warrior. I'm planning on jimping the 2 and am terrified of screwing it up. Will have to make the jump some time though...
