so I think summer is here .. finally ..

on go the 1/2 doors



and 10 mins later








.

 

absolute blast driving ..

 

Nice!! I just got some myself and fixed them up and just finished putting some 6.5 inch speakers in them 20 mins ago. I do have to agree, super fun to drive with them on!

 

WHOO YA!!!

 

try doing 80 on the freeway it gets a lil windy with the half doors and the top off!!! lol

 

They look great. I've been considering making a set but I've been wonder how these effect gas milage, I doubt they help your aerodynamics. My 4runner doesn't get good mileage as it is. Has anyone noticed a change in gas mileage?

 

Slacker, are those road legal in BC?

 

so far so good .. this is my 4th year now , and no problems .. I have been threw only 1 road block in that time , and the officer just said " cool " ..

my doors work !! .. they have all the necessary components , mirrors , working latches , and they open and close .

 

ALSO

I have been wanting to lift up the back end for a while .. so today I built some rear shackles .. nothing to drastic , just something to level out the truck .

also wanted them to be greasable .. so here what I got ....

started drilling the bolts ..

vertical


and horizontal


then taped


and added the grease nipple


made some sleeves , and main brackets .. and got ready to install ..



started by removing the old shackles and bushings



installed the shackles and measured for the center support ..



got them all welded up , and zinc'd



installed







brought it up about an 1 1/2" .. just where I wanted it ..

 

Adopt me please. Can those be made to sell to others? I'd buy a pair if everything was included.
You get the details done right, good job.

 

Next mod:

PAINT!! haha seriously, get some spray cans. May not look professional but it will all be one color.

Here are my custom 1/2 doors and the paint job I did on them (still need to finish the doors):

 

already have a leach .. uuuhhmm son ..
seriously .. not really into doin' this stuff for sale .. the Fiberglass and other stuff is plenty .. (a whole raft of new pieces comming) .. but thanks for the props ..


you knw how many time I have heard that ? .. lots ...

Thing is .. this is my shop truck .. If I paint it ..she will look like all the other toys around here . With NO paint , people ask questions .. kind of advertizing ..

once I get my Trekker built .. then maybe .. but not now.

.

 

Ahh, okay.

 

2nd day .. and a very noticable differance .

speed bumps I use to "Bump" over .. I now ride "smoothe" .. and way not so harch ... Rides way better


.

 

she rides better now that your at ride hight or what? cause if thats the case im so going to weld me up a set or maybe a few sets you know the stock ones then stock hight, 1 ,2 ,3, 4, 5, 6 inch lifts lol you never know what your going to need and since my frame is cracked i dont have any shocks back there so mah lol

 

sorry .. havent been able to post for a bit .. ??? http error ..

anyway ..

yes , they work awesome , i'm very happy .. it's amazing what a little grease will do .. my replacement springs & bushings were only 7 years old but yet siezed , and no movement .. now they move .. well worth it ..

they are avaliable from USA suppliers .. but i'm a "builder" so I made my own .



.

 

nice i think i might go ahead and make me some then good idea man nice nice
