Solid axle adaptive light brackets for the 6x6 build arrived today. Chase never disappoints and I highly recoomend his parts. I have these on another rig and plan to start adding these to our custom axle build options. I used KC Hi Lites on the previous rig and will more than likely do so again.

These work on 40, 60, 70, 80 and 105 series and mini truck knuckles. Get them while you can!!

My task for the morning was to design, cut and tack up the new Trail Tailor Customs body dolly and as soon as parts arrive... twirler option.

Inner and outer sliding stanchions are fully removable . 10" to 50" width and 22" to unlimited length with a 3.75" height adjustment.

Waiting on the 2.75" x .375" DOM to make the rotisserie spindles. These will be clocked 0, 3, 6, 9 o'clock positions.

7" x 2" greasable locking 4000# casters. Adjusters are 1"-14 thread 4130 CrMo (yeah overkill but its me)

Fully dis-sassembled with a few 5/8" hitch pins. Collapsed mains are 52 wide x 35" tall x 12" long x 2 pieces.

A lot of people ask... No... this is not the Trail Tailor shop. This is my personal shop and only misc projects happen here or are stored here. Small 1800 sq ft.

TT and TTC units are close to 10000 sq ft. combined and then a 2000 sq ft storage shop. I do not store anything outside, 100% inside.

6 hours and the chop is in rough body work. I had to modify this 80 back kit quite a bit and add A LOT to make it work. But it is a super sturdy back wall now.

Jason

A LOT OF FILLER METAL TO FINISH THIS KIT OFF. 60 is approx 3.5" wider than a 80 at this chop point.

Rear/Rear axle is mocked up with coils, RL/RUCA brackets and arms hard tacked up. Got the coil/shock buckets and crossmembers installed as well.

Need to box out all the frame brackets and full weld once I;m happy with all alignments.

Stretched the lower arms as far as I could. 34.5" eye to eye compared to 28.5" on a stock 80.

I'm 5/16" heavy (axle shift) to the drivers side currently. Need to loosen the DS and tighten the PS upper arms a couple turns and all will align perfectly.

After going back and forth on the color for this build. The Nardo grey was a bit to RC car; plastic looking and not deep enough to show off the design of this build.

I went back to the drawing board with my paint shop. They are absolutely awesome and made up several custom colors and even sprayed and cured them out for me.

The color is "Hell Raiser Tailor" a mixed blend of Audi Nardo, Hellcat Destroyer and Porsche Grey/Black.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Ordered the front seats and extra fabric and leather for the rear, door panels and headliner accents.

If anyone is wanting Scheel-Mann seats... Hit me up.

Ordered the black loop carpet from my old Aussie supplier. Great to work with them again.

Cool Build

Swap the 2 doors from the rear to ones like the front and increase the legroom for the rear passengers. The lines would look cleaner on the body instead of the cutout on the rear door.

You will need to redo the backend of cab to accommodate the change but I think it's worth the extra work.

Plenty of leg room as is. Done this before without changing the doors. Its a 60 not a 70 mine worker truck (****IN' YUCK ) In my opinion stretching the body from B-C pillar (adding to the B or C forwards or rearwards would look like pure crap...)

Pretty good body lines too.

NO THANKS.
