Honestly it’s a tight fit! I’m tall and definitely have a good few pounds extra I should take off but still. That said so far yeah I fit. Passenger will be shoulder to shoulder and the firewall will be pushed out a couple inches in the footwell. I’m considering removing the rear wall also and...

I would really like to make that happen! My Plan is to have it done for hammers next year. I hope I make that and my ambitious goal is rubithon but I have my doubt there even if halfway done form. But we will see. If I sell some stuff I could probably get the money for the parts needed to finish...

Let me know man I’ll help gotta get it ready!

Her s a few pics of the current build. Like I said it’s a 79 Chevy luv. I got it super cheap and everyone will have to forgive me for not getting a Toyota but $100 for a mini truck was to tempting. Its body is rough and has a patina but that’s what I wanted. I cut the cab and firewall out...

So I haven’t updated this thread in a hot minute! Well work got the best of me for a lot of wheeling last year then I broke my foot right as I got things to slow down. But since I posted I picked up a new project! It’s a 79 Chevy luv and I bought it last January. After I scrapped what I didn’t...

I obviously don’t check I. Here often enough I didn’t realize you were putting tons under your 80 I don’t think! Stoked to see what comes out of the new Tacoma.

We really enjoyed the whole event! The tent zipper leaving the chat when we camped at loon before our run made for an interesting trip but I’ll be back next year! The live band and activities for the kids was awesome!

I definitely need to add some beadlocks to mine! I’m shocked I’ve never lost a bead

Definitely! I think I’ve settled on trying to set them up myself. Was going to have them done but I should learn sometime.

Yeah kinda crazy but I’m assume and know I was very hard on those front gears snow wheeling. So I’m assuming they were ready to go.

Well it turned out it’s a good thing I got those new gears. While getting my new project into the driveway using the winch, I was repositioning the 80 and the rear bound up and acted weird but there was also a couple pops that was odd. I’ll add the rear when I get driveshaft bind it drives the...

I took the cruiser out this weekend for a shake down run and managed to find a good bit of snow. Didn’t take much pictures but it was a good day. Met up with a group in Bend Oregon and trailered to the staging area and we went up into the mountains from there. There was a large group of us...

So true. I took it to bend this weekend and found some snow and it’s amazing how well it works now. Doing the 3 and 4 link before was a massive increase in performance but this is a big bump. I’m super impressed.

Well I didn’t take much pictures but I finished it up today. Batteries were an issue and not really solved other than setting them in and a ratchet strap to keep them in place. But I’m going to go to bend next weekend to do some wheeling and needed to get it done. It’s definitely a huge...

today I stared with notcing the frame. I was gonna just use tube to notch but knowing me this axle will move eventually and I’ll be stuck extending the notch. So I just cut 1” out by about 3” long and played it back in. Next I worked on the coilover tower brace. That was fairly strait forward...
