Thanks guys. Heres some more pics... Got the lowers made and tacked in today. Were gonna move the bags back on the bars another inch or so to keep it in the stronger area of the frame. Weve been overkill on strength with everything as this is my daily dragger...

On with the pics...






















Bars are 2x2 1/4' wall. (I know it's overkill but very strong) C and C welcome

 

Upper bar progress...

 

So it turns out i did have to cut some outta my cab to clearance for the driveshaft when its laid out... Never heard anything about that elsewhere.





Gets like 1/16' of clearance from driveshaft when all the way down.







Addition of some gussets. Planning on finishing up the front tomorrow hopefully and making somemore good progress.

 

I just had the same probs with my cab. Never realized I had to notch out the floor to clear the drive line. Progress is looking great.

 

Looks good man. Those lower link bars aren't overkill IMO. I'm runnin the same ones. Anything else I'd probably be nervous.

 

Huh. Thats why I asked earlier. Toyotas, are notorious for some reason when you get it to a certain point you gotta do that to the floor. UC 93 you got lucky cause I had to cut a lot more of my floor out then you did. Im surprised you havent seen anything about it before. I know Toys are pretty much the only ones this has to be done on. S10, Mazda, etc no problems.

 

Yea I thought about what you said as soon as I saw that.lol. No biggie though. About to leave for shop now and get some more done. I'll post up somemore pics later. Thanks for the kind words guys.

 

Mock up...




































Made alot of good progress today. Got the pics all messed up so gave up on captioning them all. lol You get the picture.

 

Farkin awesome

 

Thanks

 

Are you raising your bed floor or just gonna cut the entire thing out??

 

Going to cut most of it out and build a cover on some hinges.

 

Cool. Yah im having problems configuring were I want everything to go. I can put anything infront of the notch cause Im building a bed box for my subs. The only thing i can set up front is my compressors OR my batteries. This leaves everthing going in the back and its gonna look cluttered unless i can fiure a sick setup. Im kinda picky even though most of its gonna be covered by the bed anyway.

 

did you just set the notch ontop of the frame?

 

Yup

 

Last thing left to do in the front is mount the valves and run the airline...


Driver's side...








Rear end and all framework is finished. Just need to make mounts for the gastank and batteries and start putting her back together...








Won't be any progress this weekend, going to Stagecoach with the wife for some much needed time off. LOL

 

Well done man it looks good. I wanted to go to stagecoach but the wifey had to work. Have fun man

 

Aww that sucks. But thanks. Should be fun.

 

sick
