It was great to meet and chat with you for a few minuets Bill. Your definately on your way to a well built machine! I hope to see you on thetrails again.

We are a somewhat small group but we are growing at a radical pace. People have come from all different states to make this event in the past. You will difenately meet some folks from your neck of the woods there. I hope to see you there. There is a growing group of NW arkansas toyota junkies from that general area. Check out this liknk to the arttora site and introduce yourself. Arkansas Chapter - TTORA Forum
The best part is the trails at hotsprings superlift orv park varry from a drive in the park to scarry wild, so there is something for everyone at every build level.

Hers a few pics of its current condition. Pretty soon I won't have a rig left, becouse I just can't stop cutting it away. There is some Bling in there as well. I really need to get this jigsaw pizzle together, Its not moving along fast enough. I'm ready to wheel it now.

cool rig man. your breakover is terrific what frame hight and wheel base were you running with the leaf springs?

gittinit · 06-01-09, 06:56 AM

I had about 23 to 24" to the frame on 36's . I was running a 106" wheelbase, and will try to stay within a 105 to 108 wheelbase with the new setup.

Well I bolted up the links after tryng to figure out exactly where I wanted my muffler.

Then I starred at it for a while and decided to mod the windshield a little. Here is my version of a chopped top toyota.

Then I decided that a flip forward windshield may be more my style. Now I can give the jeepers that cool wave.

Ok here are some pics.

I like the overall shape this thing has. I like it from the rear as well. It wound up being quite a bit narrower that I had desired, but it works for me, and there is still enough room in the verry back for one of the large propane tanks.

I ran out of gas for the welder (2nd time already this year) so I couldnt tack up the crossmembers I built. I used a bungee strap to squeese the center cross brace from poping out. I used a ratchet strap to get the upper a pilliar tie kinda sitting in place. I'm unshure of this particular pice. I always liked the single bend look that some buggys have but I'm really thinking it might hamper my vision when looking up through the windshield area. I may just have to play with the notches a little to rotate it up into the a pillar bends some.
