Looks awesome.

How about some sort of custom off-road bed ..... maybe something along these lines:

Colin, I'm gunna pick up a new router bit sometime this week and plow out the H2 rims :thumbup:

Sweet! Thanks d00d :thumbup:

Sweet thread Colin. Glad you're going to keep a record of your progress. I think it will be worth it in the long run. It seems that my Thursday nights have involved me driving up to your area lately. If that trend continues I'll bring my camera each time.

Sounds good. Buffalo chicken pizza is calling us...

Thanks Jordan!

No plans on modifying the bed yet. I want to get this thing wheeling in a reasonable amount of time. If (when) the bed gets destroyed, I'll definitely end up going that route. I really like the first one you posted, though I'm pretty picky about the tube lines.

oooo... despite the fact that i yacked after i ate my first one from town spa, i have successfully demolished 3 more since then. and it's been a few months since i've had one. what are you up to this thurs? i'm down.

i vote keep the bed stock-ish (dovetailed and bobbed = acceptable). toob & sheet metal is easier, but it will be impossible to keep the lines of the original bodywork. plus, doing that would be spending more time on something that won't make it go over rocks better.

I'm sure I'll be around. I'll know better as the day approaches.

I probably won't even dovetail it. I'll keep it stockwidth and just bob it.

I want to run a tube down the top of the bedside, and perhaps extend the rockrail down to the rear wheelwell. We'll see what happens.

Show the people of why you have to build this outside and arent allow to do any real work in the garage....

 

[Andy in Pa.]

Looking good so far Colin... I wouldn't worry about modding the top of the bed with tube though, its just gonna get dented up anyway... I predict the bed won't make it a whole year...

Big words like geosynchronous confuse me, but I look forward to seeing more of this build

Thanks for the off-topic hijack guys :laugh:

Yeah he doesn't get to take it out much. Still holds 80 psi hot idle oil pressure after a 20+ year old engine rebuild.

No pics but got some fairlead spacers cut out today and beveled for welding (I don't have .500" plate so I'm welding two .250" tabs together).

Should get them finished up tomorrow night.

Saturday the crossmember get's tacked into place and the plan is to get the side mounts done.

:laugh: I think I'd be lucky to get it to last a year without armor!

 

[MoparManiac]

Spacers all finished.

My best looking bead. Not too bad I think...?

 

[ROBZ95Xj]
