cool truck man.... welcome to tm

 

Great looking truck, everything look nice and clean under the bed.
Have you done anything on the interior?

 

Thanks guys. Ive had a shop do all my chasis welding and another shop is currently doing my notch cover and rear wheel tubs, and ive done the rest.
Its got black carpet, seat covers, black colour coded plastics, black tweed/vinyl door cards etc.
I lost a bunch of good pics unfortunatly but im picking it up on friday so ill get some more pics then.

 

Well done man. Welcome to TM.

 

Nice setup...

 

Looks clean!!
Though whats the purpose of the large loop angled upwards towards the rear??

 

The bars just decoration. Was thinking of putting a laser cut plate on it, maybe cradle a nos or nitrogn tank down the track? Exhaust hangs off it too.

 

Frig nice truck! What kind of paint did you use on the frame? It looks great poking out through the bed floor. Like it really POPS.

 

thanks, its just chasis black paint. unfortunatly it all has to be covered up for me to get the engineers certificate.

 

Some tub work pics. Its taken the guy 6 weeks but here it is.

 

Yah more bagged trucks.

 

Finally with deadline approaching and my truck stuck at a useless shop with crooked rear tubs............ I decided to finish my back flip seats.
Hand sewn so I dunno how long theyd last if people were sitting on them, but nobody will be so should be sweet as.



Black tweed, then i foam backed it. F$#@*N sore fingers for a few days afterwards! 3M vinyl sprayed the plastics.

 

well went for my engineers cert/report on friday and failed.
this report is needed to reregister my vehicle as the cops suspended my rego.
failed on......
-front bumpstops/bagspacers
-aftermarket corner indicators
-weber 38mm and removed emissions stuff
-not running a heater
-non approved rear number plate lights
-fuel cell pressure test cert
-hook accuair handbrake wire up
-weigh bridge ticket
-1 small additional bar to be welded in
-possible db test on exhaust....

it could be alot worse but sh!t happens. Shops fixing the bumpstops and installing the bar. Trying to find some usd genuine 4wd corner lamps. Removed the weber and half way to getting the emissions sorted. Really cant be bothered changing the busted heater core to run the heater but oh well. Plate lights sorted just gotta hook up the wires. Ill get a reprint of my pressure test cert and a new weigh bridge ticket. Accuair i think i have to swap 1 wire and should be good.

The rain/hail/thunder/lightening doesnt help things either : )

 

on the heater i just kinda ran my to a kill switch straight off the battery usaly its the head unit that goes out maybe that'll help a lil :3 idk it the the blower works or not lol

 

im using the lc engineering heater block plates atm, so ill have to remove the leaking core and swap it out for my spare. i found a good how to online..... not that i didnt know how, I just didnt wanna accept the fact that id have to remove the entire dash etc.

Finished off the plate lights today and fitted the old carb. it runs but like ****. i really wish i had some close up pics of a stock 22r or a really good diagram on all those little emissions hoses i have to reconnect.
