Re: Fat City Pre-Runner build
Is that laser cut? Everything looks awesome. Will it be ready for this weekend?
I used to swear by all the old skool fab methods - torch, hammer, band saw, drill press, etc., but nothing beats CAD/laser. Chris |

Plasma. I threw down the coin for a CNC plasma table and a kick ass new cutter a few months ago. Not sure how I lived without it for so long.... Last edited by FatCity; September 20th, 2011 at 17:37. |

Re: Fat City Pre-Runner build
Ah I should have looked closer, you can kind see the flack on the edges, Very Cool Project, I really dig it. I think those Lariat wheels would look pretty cool Gold or Bronze with the matte paint.

It's already in the garage completely torn down for prep. Our big Baja Extravaganza is at the end of the month. I'm rebuilding all 6 shocks, new spherical bearings and rodends in the arms and springs are already off to Deaver to be rebuilt and tuned a bit more to hold more weight. As soon as I get back from Baja, its getting a cage. After nearly 6000 off road miles in the last year and a half the body is starting show its age. I can feel the floor under my feet "beer canning" when its running thru the bumps... Links and coil overs are in the future for the rear to. ![]() |

Re: Fat City Pre-Runner build
Its on a Baja hiatus right now. I'm bandaid'ing it for some out of town friends to take to the desert at new years.
Its waiting in line behind the TTBXJ to go under the knife. After 15K miles of dirt the frame and body flex to much and it cant be driven the way I want to anymore. We'll be cutting all the tube work off the front as well as all the front sheet metal/core support ect. Caging the cab and front end. Collecting parts to link the back as we speak. |

Re: Fat City Pre-Runner build
Yep.
We need to figure out where we are with some jobs we have in right now, but this one is coming back in soon. We just had a new baby and my little Manx buggy isn't that infant friendly... |
