Been a while... Here's the progress.
 

I haven't posted in quite a while. I've been busy either working on the runner or working so I decided to post some pics of the latest mods.

I made some custom tube doors:

Put to use

I also have done some other tube work the rear quarter protection and front fender bar. I also modified my old bumper slightly.

Rear:

I made an interior roll cage:

I also put in an inchworm dual crawler with 4.7 gears. This thing makes all the diference off-road. One of my best purchases by far:

I put in hydro assist a little while ago also. Makes turning extremely easy. I kept blowing power steering pumps before getting it.

Hard


Core

I think I just pooped my pants.

that all looks awesome. the first pic of the tube doors i was like "eh", but seeing them painted up and in action they look sweet. you have some awesome stuff on that rig. good work

those custom welds are so awesome. I envy welders and fabbers since i cant do it. TOUGH truck too. i love it, total offroad

WOW! Thats a lot of hard work. Your truck is Nutz.

Sweet runner... I hope you put the nuts on the crawler box bolts after you took the photos :D

Unbelievable rig you got there. Talk about hardcore:guitar:

One of the most hardcore 3rd gens I've seen. Looks great man

The adapter is threaded. That's just the way it looks.

so many questions but i'll just start with the doors

i've actually been mapping out some tube welded doors myself, although a little bit differen't design than yours. I was wondering if you would be willing to refab a set of those, or if you had the blueprints to create another set?

Wow, most people say they've been busy working on a few mods like the deck plate mod, installing a body lift, or just buying new tires, but you've really been busy.

Nice work. Runner looks very capable off road.

Thanks for all the compliments.. It is a money and time pit..


My wife is already about to kill me, with all the time I spend and the mess I make out of the garage.:saw: I probably shouldn't be doing too much fabing for a while. I didn't draw anything this time before I made them. I had a basic concept and completed the design while I was building them. I could send you some basic dimentions if you wanted them.

I just got a woody.

WOW! Any plans for a full exo cage?

very nice ...why not make the corner lights into blinkers just buy some 1157 bulb sockets and some amber leds i did that to my bumper lights looks nice when they light up with the corners

I think I am going to convert the corners into blinkers... Havn't quite decided yet..

No plans anytime soon. I have the interior cage for now. My next project will probably be cutting off the back & making the rear cargo area more like a truckbed.

Sweet Ride!!!

Go Buffs!!!

Let us know how it goes. Like this eh? Chop Cut

Good luck
