Almost got the axle in. I need shorter bolts for the passenger side. But got it most of the way in.

 

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.

 

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

and some bling high steer arms

 

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.






mounted the 60 all the way. Mounted some 38's. Still haven't gotten the single wheel hubs.

 

Got some work done yesterday.

lower link crossmember and mounts I might have to modify it a little to clear the driveshaft.





Front range rotated crossmember


Everything mostly in place. The cases might go a little higher.

 

Some more work done over the weekend.

Upper frame link mounts. STill going to beef them up a little more.



Lower link crossmember in.



Started the axle lower link brackets.



Got the lokar shifter in after modifying it a little. And the 2nd case shifter. I still need to get a shifter for the crawl box

 

a few updates. Finishing up the rear suspension. The rest of my joints should be here tomorrow. Then I'm working on the wiring. Still need to finish bracing the rear truss and caping the front and rear of it.

 

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
