sick build dude, you gonna make it street legal or offroad only?

I'm going to try and make it legal. I'll put some flaps on it and hope fullly I dont have too many problems with it.

wow thats bada$$. cant wait to see more. looks great!

thanks. I just need to get the guy over here to wire up and outlet for my welder. I gotta weld up my rear truss, link crossmember, and rear links. then either make a crossmember or get a front range one.

Sweet build man you have one awsome looking project there. :bounce:

That ting is BOOBIES.

Awsome work man,killer welding and i dig the rear end setup. but why the chevy motor? dosent the 4.3 chev make maybe 30hp and tq more than a 3.4 toy done right?.. toyota tough with chevy stuff.

The cpi motor has more juice than a normal 4.3 I'm a chevy guy. I tried to have a toyota motor once, a 22re, and it sucked. I sold a 22re, G52, and dual cases and picked up this 4.3 cpi, a JET th350 and dual cases 23 spline with the rotated adapter for about $200 more than than I sold the toy stuff for. So I picked it up. A toy 3.4 would be nice. But oh well.

no updates yet. I got some more parts again. 14 bolt disc conversion parts,
some air bumps, they were converted from air shocks. 5" travel

Some updates over the weekend. Put the discs on the 14 bolt. Going to start The link truss today. They clear 15" wheels. I can't remember what kit it is but I'm using ruff stuff bent brackets.

Uh, is that thing gonna clear the garage door when its done?

It'll clear without the tires on. I'll drive out on some roller wheels I have. I'll be 3 linking the front as well

good lord that is my dream truggy (except i want diamonds f/r).

I'm just sticking with 1 tons. I'll end up putting bobby long 60 cv joints in the front with poly performance 60 flanges, and chromo's in the rear. Beefing everything I can. So when something blows it grenades.

oh i'm sure it'll be plenty strong, lol. i just love the way extra cabs look when in truggy form.

hopefully I'll have it done by the end of april. If not I'm doing a 3 link in the front before its done. I'm trying to make the bender jambo at the hammers
