100 bucks actually isn’t bad for a price. Metal work, along with any machining, isn’t cheap.

As a mechanical designer, I would stick with Stainless for these. Carbon will rust up on you in a heartbeat if the paint gets scratched.

Good to know. I just meant like a mild steel

Mild steel is carbon. It’s going to rust. Paint will
Chip, powder coat isn’t cheap. Stainless would be the cheapest route

I'm looking to get some ditch lights made for my Land Cruiser. There are 2 companies that have made some but neither are selling them at the moment and they were expensive when they were for sale, I think $100. I would love to make some myself but I dont have the knowledge or the equipment to bend metal, mill slots etc.

Heres a sample of what I'm looking at:

If you guys think I could DIY something like that I'm open to advice and suggestions.

Somebody will need a press to get those right imo. Wish i had one, i got the 25yrs experience but sold off most all my big stuff. Shouldn't take a couple hours if that , depending on equipment and fab guy my2

Yeah I understand that. The only issue is the shop is closed and so I can't order even if I wanted to

You could have it cut with a waterjet or a laser out of 11 gauge stainless and then have the parts bent. I know a guy here in Dalton that could do it if you don't find someone closer. It probably wouldn't cost much more to make a few extra sets...you could stick them on Mud and recoup your money!
