BJ70 Project: Horton (1 Viewer)

[4WD Toyota Owner Magazine]

Damn your treacherous heart, Bull! Now we are all craving a 70-series, prices will rise astronomically as demand outstrips supply, causing in-fighting and chaos amongst us enthusiasts, while you lurk in your dark lair with your kickass 70!


Nice bumper. Send me a press release!

Has the p.o. seen what you have done to Horton ? I am really happy that one more 70 has been saved instead of being parted out or rusted to death. Thanks

Bull, The bumper and sliders look great.

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

You started it all..with that conversation we had!

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

Thanks Mike. When are we putting sliders on chia

When are you going to come up here a drive it?






Rear bumper is tacked together, will shoot some pics today.

that is some awesome work

Thanks for the kind words. Here are shots of the rear bumper installed. Going for ARB lockers and 4.56 gears now.

I used leftover DOM tubing for the upper portion of the bumper. I left it uncapped for no real apparent reason. I think it will come in handy..just not sure why or how..

I'd use that DOM to hold an awning frame. It'd be easy to bend up out of EMT.

Bruce that is kick ass! I may have to build it after moab.

Amazing what a set of different tires will do.

35 x 13.50 x 15 Toyo Mts

So does the wife, but due to the 4.5 backspacing the wheels are sucked into the body, making it feel tippy. Haven't done the math, but were definately at least 2 inches wider on each side now


These wide ones are for the moab trip only.

 

[wesintl]

You've seen my skinny little 7/16's. I've been all over moab... well generally speaking nothing hard core, but I've done spike and hells etc. Your others would have been fine.

 

[Tonito]

Anyway - this 70 is sweeeeeet man!

Keep up the good work

 

[TEQ]

Kudos man. That's a fun rig.

 

[NICOTOY60]

very nice ...........

That rear bumper looks HOT. Are you going to add any recovery points to it? have fun at Moab and keep that Mitsubishi Montero looking thing shiny side up.

I saw Bruce do some pretty crazy stuff in his 74 at River Shiver, and he is not much wider and a lot taller with a tent on his roof!

Looks good though, keep up the good work.
Cheers,
