I like the cage and the bob... I was thinking to go dovetail and leave the legnth. This way, I could keep the stock 20+ gallon tank. Can we get a few pics of the bob work? Also of the cage? Hell... the whole dam truck!!

Killer fenders!

Mine are cut but, would like to get back to the OEM look!

Nice Work

I am looking to do some work on my fenders. I like what you did with your fenders.

Well I finally wrapped up everything for know. I finished the front bumper, fenders, and rounded up some time to make up a bumper for the rear.

O my, that is sweet! I hope to copy your design soon. And I love how you just whipped up a sweet rear bumper!

 

[pr0ject42]

That is freaking awesome!

I may need to grab some kleenex and head to the bathroom..

O my, that is sweet! I hope to copy your design soon. And I love how you just whipped up a sweet rear bumper!

On the rear bumper I borrowed some idea's from poison spider customs. It's a pretty simple concept, and with a 200 pound spare its what I needed. I might not be old but I'm not that young to be lifting that monster. The center support is a bent rear axle, and the rest is 1.5" tubing.

very nice, I was thinking that was all you needed to finish that truck off, have similar rear on my 80, and was gonna do that on my 55, very nice work

 

[Farr off road]

I must say that is the very best front bumper I have ever seen on a 55!
Very,very,very nice work! I'm drooling!!!

 

[dtrain]

Great stuff. Can we get a closer shot of how you did the rear... including the storagerack in the back?

 

[laguna80]

That tire is ginormous! Nice work too.

I was a little skeptical when I first saw your setup, but now with the incorporation of the fenders, wow, it looks killer, really nice setup, way to think out of the box!, unique and cool for sure....

 

[southerncruiser62]

thats pretty incredible, very nice setup and adds ease to changing a tire, but what about lifting that carrier back up? I know those Toyo's aren't light...

 

[romegadave]

A little over 2 years on this thread...I'm glad you brought it back since you're right.....incredible with the curves and all---very
