fabrication

Howdy, Maybe I'm just not putting the right keywords together but I wasn't able to find much of anything on this topic in here. I've got a 2000 LX 470, for which I'm looking to make my own armor. I'll leave the #1 cover for now because of the complexity of the contours, but given that I...

Been dragging my feet on ordering sliders bc of course - cost. Haven't even gotten around to actual mods bc I am currently up to my ass with parts and labor costs baselining my truck. Was heavily leaning towards WKOR, but their 6-9 week fab time I expect is actually more like 9-12 weeks from...

I'm contemplating making my own custom 3/4 tub for my 77 fj40. I have looked everywhere with no success in finding a like minded individual. I realize I could just buy one, but whats the fun in that?

So I am planning a build and want to use Aquala's aluminum 18" stretch parts/kit but it doesn't come with the sides or top. Does anyone make these? Or is it something you have to fab yourself? If fab, is there any tutorials or threads on here (or anywhere) that explain how to do it?

Hello Everybody, Looking to fabricate and add to my Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series chassis - and I desperately need the CAD file - where can I get it? Thanks! Benjy

Yep, you read that right! (And yes I am crazy) After working through the body restoration of my LandCruiser BJ70 I learned a lot about shaping metal. —> that thread here (Saving the Silver 70) One of the tools that I really couldn’t have done it without was a little 14” die that I made for...

Hi all, This is my very first post to Ih8mud. I am glad to join the community. I recently was able to get my brothers 89 fj62 out here to Colorado. I had to flatbed it from Ohio, but am really looking to get it trail worthy. It currently isn't running, and I am scratching my head as to why...

Hey guys! Has anyone done custom fenders on an fj60? Don't get me wrong, I love the classic land cruiser look but people are seeming to charge an arm and a leg for replacement fenders. XD Being a college student, my project e30(my daily) is really reaching more of a finished product for me and...

Orange boxx fab is looking for guys around Greensboro NC for some help. As most of you know we are the manufactures of the PSD racks the racks for FJ's,4Runners and some Land Cruisers. We are looking for the following list of vehicles. Land Cruiser 40 Land Cruiser 55 Land Cruiser 60 Land...

I've started on a front bumper for my 80 and thought you guys would want to see the progress. My old, cut-up stock bumper is mangled and has caused some damage to the fenders, valance, and AC...so time to go. I'm done gluing my flares back together every week too so I'll be welding the holes...

i figured i'd post this because i've taken so much away from this site over the period of my never ending build. maybe something here can help someone. same old story: rusty '72, although not as bad as some, i decided it would be easier to replace the rockers and quarters as apposed to patching...

Does or can anyone make #35 hard brake line from the front resevoir of the master down to the frame to connect to the middle soft line? It has the curls in it. I'm just not sure I have enough brake line work to justify the tools or if buying a kit is the way to go..

Wanted to drop a line to you Landy 100 owners to see if there is an interest in frame mounts from an ARB Bull Bar. I had this fabbed/modded by my welder to install this bad boy onto my '05 DC Tundra. They were cut after the front bolt mounts and would be an excellent starting point if a guy was...

Just finished bolting up a new bumper from BIO and thought I'd share with the muddies how stoked I am with the whole thing. First off, Mike rules.. his craftsmanship is stellar. This bumper has serious aesthetic qualities and you definitely can't beat the price. I had them powder-coat and ship...

Anybody seen a build thread or anyone have ideas on custom bumpers? Mainly the rear. It is a 3 piece bumper and the chrome/plastic piece does not do too well when it drags across a creek bank!

Does anyone make/sell the York 210 compressor mounting kit for an FZJ80 anymore? Struggling to find anyone here on the forums or on the TLCA Facebook. Any links or users you could point me toward would be hugely appreciated. Cheers, Colin.

Just found this product. I finally have a space that I can use as a shop and need a small fab table. I would like some feed back from the guys that do this for a living. It's not a Demmeler Table but I don't need that. A bike frame would be the most complicated thing I would probably build.

Hey gang, I was looking into getting a plow for my 80 series, and had seen a few other threads with pretty limited information on where I should turn for parts/fabrication if necessary, with many of the links to mount parts and etc having broken years ago. Does anyone know the best...

This is a pair of fender flares I made for a customer at my work. He asked for steel fender flares and I never really liked the look of the tube ones with a flat plate across the top. So I made them completely out of 3/16 plate. The first one I made was 1/4 inch and about three quarters of the...
