One more thing, you might want to reconsider mounting your fuel tank out side the cab. It will make it easier to fill and most importantly, Vent the fumes created when sloshing around, not to mention, putting added weight over the rear axle.......adios chelu'.............

 

LOL Che'lu! Are you here on Guam? or Stateside? Anyway, thanks for the pointers! The fuel cell mount is capped, no vents or fumes will come in(I made sure of that) but for putting the gas in, I will be mounting a hose to the rear side.

I hope that the metal doesn't distort, but will consider welding a bracket to the exo when it is done(thanks)

Body work will be done soon so that no rust will come of it. This is my first time welding so I tried to make whatever I did "work" for me. I did learn a lot from this experience so if I ever do something again I'm hoping that my welding would be better. I did use some silicone to seal the gap I had. Been using silicone and it works like a charm, soft, flexible easy to repair, durable and it's cheap. Thanks again for your input! Esta.

 

Thanks

 

Got me some new shoes and decided to try them out..... had a great time till the bead popped.... LOL

That's all I have, might get more pics later.

 

nice job on the chopped

the angle of your tire when it popped the bead was deceptively looking like the D/S steering broke

 

Dude, wheeling on Guam is bad ass! I miss it. Your rig is sick too. You sure learned to weld quickly. Hold your breath welding that galv stuff bro.

Here's my XJ up on Tank Farm back in 2001.

 

Thanks for the comment mang. Funny thing is I haven't really got the chance to wheel since 2001. My runner has been down since.... So we're kind of in the same boat. The trails have changed much since. And 38s are like the "new" 33s hahaha. Anyways, if you ever come back check me out. I will try and post some pics . Shoots

 

I'll definitely be back my wife is from Yigo, so we come back often. I used to play in a lot of the bands at Casa, so it's always a reunion!

 

Update!! Found some parts on the side of the road! Will post pics tonight

 

This sounds like the start to a great story haha

Looking good so far! Are you going to trim the frame?

 

I also interested! I love finding stuff

 

Nice build.

 

Found a full width Daimond to match the T100 rear


Wider is Beder...




Wider = Dirty faster......






Came with dirty 30s long inners and an ausie locker

I'll try and get some better pics...had too much fun behind the wheel that taking pictures were not as fun

 

Forgot to mention that I lost my passenger mirror and door on a berm lol... Oh well, now it has character

 

Yes, as soon as I have enough coin for the exo. I want to make sure that I don't take too much off hehe

Good work man, can't wait to see it all caged up.

 

It's always street legal here as long as it has lights and a plate LOL no joke

 

Started working on my 3.4 SWAP this past Sunday!!

I won't be posting a build thread because I think everyone who did already covered all that needs to be covered. I will however let you guys know if I run into trouble or found other ways of doing it and post in the 3.4 swap section.

Things that will be done in the swap are simple:
-motor swap
-after market intake
-Doug thorely headers (exhaust will be going down the passenger side)

Wish me luck
