so gimme some input guys and tell me what you think. i got this beast for 300 bucks. so far i chopped the top, bobbed the bed, and made some half doors. soon i'll be adding a v8, doing a front end dovetail, sas, and 38" swampers..and someday maybe a exo cage...so if theres anyone around the olympia wa area with a bender and knowledge...lets get it rollin!https://www.yotatech.com/attachment....1&d=1251760096

 

Nice find for $300 good luck on the rest of the build. Look forward to seeing the progress

ok so i guess im alittle computer illiterate...how the heck do i post pictures on here? i wanna show progress of the build without puttin those dumb thumbnails in there...who knows maybe its just this old computer im using?

 

You upload them to photobucket then copy the link it gives you for the pic

 

post the [IMG] code

 

well i guess my computer just sucks balls cause i cant get the photo bucket to work...so i'll just keep doing this thumbnail stuff...anyways heres a couple more pics of what i got done..

 

heres a couple pictures of the back cut off and being put back on...notice my chrome mirrors i left on the doors...now thats trail bling! and my handy door handles i mounted on the top of the doors...not bad for never doing this before huh?

 

oh yeah since im picture happy heres my tow rig. diesel excursion on 37s...

 

Dude this rig is awesome! I love how you are just gettin er done.

 

thanks man! as soon as i get done with the doors and rear body work im stripping the front end off so i can pull the motor and take the ifs off ...get it ready for the sas and v8 swap. hopefully i can find a cheap set of 38" swampers here soon in the next couple weeks

 

love the start of this thread, keep it rolling

 

well i scored some tires! 36" humvee military oz tires. got 7 of them for 90 bucks..all of them basically new! what a freakin deal. also got a friend with a jeep wagoneer dana 44 axle i can use for my front end..has a 60" wheel mounting surface to surface. anyone know how that axle would work as far as the width? not sure of toyota axle width..or what mods i would have to do for the steering or spring mounts..help or suggestions on that would be helpful. i can take the axle off his hands for 100 bucks...then i just need to buy the sas kit...just starting with the spring hanger junk

 

Search SAS

Got alot of homework it looks like but looks cool good luck with it.. oh and a 4.3 wouldnt be a bad idea to look into either instead of its bigger bro V8. you could run yota axles and tranny with it no prob and have plenty of power. the V8's are very heavy and lots more mods and stonger componets are neccasary. =$$$
