Rod,
I like the work so far. Looks good. Make sure you get plenty of documentation (pic's) for all of us to use in the future. I suspect this is going to become much more comon practice!!

Looks like a little kid cut that with a can opener.

I cannot wait to see the finished look.

You guys need a hand at all? Im Always up to learn a thing or two.. :thumbup:

My part of the show is done and it's all Rod now. He still has some attachments to be made to the pseudo subframe area. The door are just rough cut to get him on the road since time ran short. I see he is looking for some replacement to get rid of the power window weight. I would like to look at it again to see about putting some angle iron sections below the tube to attach it to the frame area adjacent to it. I would only do it at the pillar areas though.

heres a cpl shots of the sliders finally.

Looks kinda funny on stock wheels n tires huh...

here's a shot undernieth. You can kind of see how much fun its gonna be tieing into the frame. sort of a stair step thing.

the preliminary trim on the door.

Got 4 new manuel (lighter) doors to trim up tomorow. ill post more pics of the doors when they are done.

Non matching doors, exo cage... you're on your way to looking like a Yota. :roflmao:





It's starting to come together, but FYI you have 13 days until Sand Flea.

... but FYI you have 13 days until Sand Flea.

i know... I may have to just ratchet strap the kids to the floor and go with whatever progress ive made :spin1:

 

[mojojojo]

Dropped her off Sunday after the Sand Flea Rally to start on the rest of the prep work and then the cage.

Finished up the center section frame stiffeners tonite. Fronts are fabbed up just need to burn em in.

not the greatest pic but they actually look really good in person.

Picked up an MJ tail gate Monday. Should have the rear portion cut this weekend

i'll update more soon...

 

[Gold Cobra]

MJ tailgate? Sounds badass.

 

[TORX]

Making good progress so far. Stiffies look like they turned out nice.

We spoke of all this last year down at TSF. Cool to see the ideas coming to life! Looks good so far man.

[mojojojo]

Got the front and rear frame stiffiners completed yesterday. Forgot to take pictures though. I'll get some this weekend.

Oh... and made a lil progress today with some body work too... :shhh:

Gonna be a busy weekend !

 

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

yup yup, the ideas have been swirling around for quite a long time. It is REALLY nice to finally see it happening.

 

[mojojojo]

Apparently Ryan was up late last night.... when i arrived today he had this done.

My kids will be happy. They still have some shelter

Started fabbing the tail light boxes and tail gate.

He did an awesome job of matching up the body lines on his "free hand fabbed" piece of steel for the tail light box.

His friend showed up and they went to town with the grinders and made these look like they were there from the factory ! Very impressive ! (i'll get a finished pic tomorow)

Here is the front frame stiffiners. We decided rather than mess with fabbing around the bumper, we'd just tie that in to them as well as the track bar mount. Needless to say the bumper wont be going anywhere for a LONG time

So far i am very VERY impressed with the work he's doing. Not to shabby for a toyota guy

 

[Bruno™]

Just don't let the Toyota guy do your cage. Hahaha

-Lyle

 

[mojojojo]

90% finished with the tail lights and tail gate. LOTS of grinding ! :confused1

Just need to tie in the rocker replacements and then its TUBE TIME BABY !

 

[Gold Cobra]

:shocked:

Wow. That looking great!

 

[NickDanger_XJ]

Thats so awesome dude, wish I had the time and skills for something like that.

 

[TORX]

What are your plans for paint? Just rattle can?

You kinda got a variety of colors going on there.

Rigs coming along great, man!

 

[RlCHARD CRANlUM]

I'm surprised to see you letting go of all that valuable sticker real estate.
