Look what Jay scored!




Awww yeah! Sonoran Steel IFS truss! I got it "used" from the local buy and sell. Only paid $120, not bad considering to get one up here would cost me around $180, and I would have to wait for him to make them.

Its about 2mm too long to fit into the frame, so I figure a little griding, and a jack between the frame can spread it out a little

I can't wait to install it. Then I can make a real skidplate. the stock is lookin pretty knarly A big WOOT for armor!!



p.s How about a little Doorless toyota pron (I was doing door hinges)

I'd spread the frame before grinding the truss down, but that's just me.
Good find though...

Haha, thanks guys!

The lower hellas where just put there for fun. I forgot they were on when I took the picture. I will be putting 4" yellow/chrome (will black them out!) around that area, but recessed in about 4". But they will be hanging upside down like that.

And no sas!!!

I have decided against solid axle swapping this truck. To be honest, I feel its just too nice to rock crawl aggressivly. Heck I will take it out and beat on it. But I do so much more then just crawling.
Eventually she will be running Long travel front suspension

Thats what im thinking. I can get one side in, but its about the thickness of the metal on the frame too long. Im sure a bottle jack would be able to easily spread it open so I can slip it in.
Gonna go get some grade 8 hardware

That looks like 4" Square tubing and 4" round tubing. Some cuts and welds.
Hmmm...
I believe my work has some in the crap bin, which I like to call the "treasure chest".

sweet man. definitely BOLT it in and not weld in case you need to take out your front diff for any reason. skid plates are a good idea now that you've got something to mount one to.
