Hi All:

Har, har!

Bull, cut that sh*t off and try again! I knew I shouldn't leave you without proper supervision - once Tor and I left you dropped-off the deep end!

BTW - thanks for the yummy burger and the PBRs!

Regards,

Alan

Hi All:

"Orange Crate" is building a LJ73, so there is a mid-wheelbase slider design already on the road, due to be Moab tested later this month.

I'm sure Bull can hook you up with a set! He offers other services as well.

Regards,

Alan

Bull I will have to take a drive down to Seattle and see if you or we can come up with a design for the middys HZJ73s and BJ74s. Could be a fair market just a couple hours north. Anyways the sliders look super sturdy and really good . I wish I had the time to do some . Thanks for the post (it is one of the best I have seen in 70series tech in a long time)

Thanks guys.



It has wiiiiings! Thanks goes out to orange crate for the fabbing blocks. Life savers and they smell nice when they catch on fire.

Added another hoop for support. Not sure I like it yet..

Tacked up and ready for final welding. what do you think?

You saying you don't like it huh? You have seen my 80. I need all the protection I can get.. Going to cut the tubing off now..

 

[Mikesta]

Hi All:

Rod, sorry, it just looks "fugly" to me!

Is your aim to increase the frontend protection? Or, for cosmetic reasons? Or ,were you just crazy to bend tube?

Seriously, "Horton" is coming along nicely -and is gonna be looking good down in Moab!

Regards,

Alan

I made mostly for wheeling around here in the northwest. Keep the s*** off the winch, grill and wings. It seems everytime I go out I get a branch or log dent on the front end. Also the out tubes support the wings.

As for the design I didn't do the plane jane ARB hoop with vertical bars..yawn. Thinking outside the box. You just don't like it because it is foreign Like any new design it will grow on you eventually.


I'm also building it to use and not win car shows

I don't think it's too bad. I would probably like to see a main hoop in the middle with a small support off the winch plate where the 2 meet in the middle. It's kinda awkward the way they meet in the middle. Otherwise I kinda like it.

 

[agomez]

big hoop in the middle with the two on the sides....would look great...good design looks better in odd numbers for some reason....wish I had your fab skills...

 

[bull]

Thanks for the feedback. I still may play with the hoops after moab.


You are also seeing it in its raw state. Once I get it all one color I think the hoops won't stand out as much.

I thought about a main hoop, but decided for some smaller ones. I looked at a lot of Venezuelan 70 series for inspiration. I will aslo get some side photos up.

Fully welded..mostly ground. Paint it black..

 

[RockDoc]

Damn, that looks good now that it's all painted up for town

 

[4WD Toyota Owner Magazine]

That's a badass design; I like it a lot. Nice to see some fresh bends out there!

 

[Mikesta]

agreed, great work Bull. Now beat on it and post some pictures up!

 

[bull]

Tired of photos yet?
