Yea, I'll let my buddy know, He's not in a big hurry. How's the condition of the bumper? I want to go to the Pismo Jamboree because I live so close, but i'll be in Hawaii that week. Also the bob is looking sweet.

 

Its a PG forum, Duhh

The bumper has a bit of rock rash, Pm me your Email and ill shoot you some pics ASAP.
That blows youll be out of town, The jambo is sooooo much fun !!

Thanks for the compliments though..

All these people say they'll be watching but none of them comment

 

Wow man you actually cut that truck up , I dont think I would have been able to do that to that truck.

Nice cuts though and good luck with the rest of it.

 

Looks good man, getting pumped about putting mine under the knife. Thanks to Brad in TN for prompting the idea I'm getting started on this next summer



I see your frame rails are sticking out a bit. You plan on chopping those flush or incorporating that into some armor mounting? I suggest the latter

 

Frame rails are gone.


Under there, There's a body mount type deal thats resting on the frame rails..






Should settle back down once I build a tire carrier and get it back in there..

 

Miller, Like you can see the framerails are gone, Ill be adding in some square to go from rail to rail, And eventually a bumper will bolt on to that..

 

i don't really doubt the new bumer will be stout either way, but it would have been nice to integrate the frame more throughout the bumper, it definitely would have been a rarity for your model. Either way since you are dealing with a shorter frame I would recommend fabbing extended mounts. Build the mounts over more of the frame, this way you'll reduce the tongue weight and have the weight of the bumper more evenly distributed through the frame, as well as help you with the rake.

Props for sure, I've liked your get in and go attitude since you've got the new taco. Looking forward to a finished product

 

I know dude I was j/k of course. We need a non PG section. Where you have to certify that you are over 18. And then the OCR thread should be moved into it.

 

NICE WORK SCOOB!
I like that chop look.
Great job!

 

I love it

 

Ahh, I had to read that a few more times to figure out what you meant..

As for the bumper, I do plan on having some good, pretty long mounts going down the frame rails..
What you said makes perfect sense to me..

And
I appreciate that man, IMO these things are easier to lift and mod then the older trucks, (IE struts, instead of BJ spacers )
And have some pretty good aftermarket support, Shes been sucking my money but Im starting to really love the hobby of wheelin and wrenching in general so its all in good fun !!

Thanks man, Ill come up and bob your junk and you can sas my junk.. Kool ?

 

I appreciate the offer and you would be the first person on the planet to bob my junk, HOWEVER, my junk rolls out of the shop bright and early monday morning with a FLATBED
I'll still do your SAS

 

You are coming right along man!! Can't wait to see the tire carrier!!

 

Thanks buddy !! Still got a but load of metal movin and tacking to do, but it should come out as good as yours (hopefully..)


Oh dang, I forgot about that..
Hmm, Let me save up 8G's and ill take you up on that offer

Get your mind out of the gutter

Logan, Its basically a work in progress.
Im not like most people where I have a whole solid weekend to work on my junk, And if I do well Id rather be wheelin it..
So, With that said, Its a work in progress..

Although, the tire carrier wont be anything too special, Itll basically be a Triangular thing that sits in the bed made out of square tube..



AND TO ALL :
Took some poser ass shots today while waiting for a friend to get off of work..Ill have some better ones tomorrow..






I cant stop staring at it and just giggling like quagmire..
Its kinda odd..

Wheeling + Date in the morning....Wish me luck..

 

SCOOB FTMFW
Found him a wheelin chick!
Good luck man

 

YEsssiiirrr !!!

Ill make sure to bring some TP so she feel accommodated

 

Your a real gentleman scoob

 

man she found a gentleman didn't she


looks great scuba, and you have huge balls

 

LOOKS KILLER!!!

 

I like work in progress. Show's dedication. I'm not a big fan of the "hey look at what I did this weekend..." and have a complete rig built. Besides, mine has been a work in progress since '99. LOL!!!

As longs as the tire carrier is functional and you made it, that's all that matters. Its curious to see what you come up with so others can be willing to build they're own instead of buying. Know what I mean?
