Looking for 2 cabs

That's a cool latch system you set up. How do you think it will do when you have something tied down to the shackle? Any chance of it turning and the doors flying open?

I'm once again impressed with your fab skills, and the ideas that you come up with. When I get a little more cash, we'll have to talk rear bumper and sliders.

I'm going to add a lock to it so that it won't be able to turn unless unlocked. I used a half inch bolt and nut for the pivot so it should be able to handle using it as a tie down as well when needed.

After all this is done i'm going to be getting some time to work on my bending skills and trying my hand at a partial exo so we'll see how that goes

Looks good man...If I ever hit the lottery i'd front you for a fabrication shop...lol.

more details on the door setup

the bolt that keeps each door shut

bolt and lever

locks

the pivot is just a 1/2" grd 8 bolt and a nut welded on the back side, loop is for the d-ring

got them welded in but not skinned (rain)

at the moment i can't take on any other projects until this things is done, once it is done though i will be looking to pick up any side fabrication jobs you guys need done

the bed is finished, used U-Pol Raptor liner

next is cleaning up the cab interior and getting it lined

 

[Talon84x4]

cab has been lined

 

[D'Animal]

Looking Great!

U-Pol is awesome stuff to work with. I did the inside of my cab and lined my bed with the stuff.

How has it held up?

 

[hudyhue]

Is that upol stuff spray on or roll on ... I want to line my 40?

 

[D'Animal]

How has it held up?

It has held up Great! All my gear I hauled in Alaska as well as the firewood I go and get in the mountains has not scratched it.

Spray on and you can color match it.
Andy's Paint and Body is across the street from Hardcore 4x4 in Visalia has it in stock.

and updated pic with the bed on

and my first attempt at tube doors

 

[jerz4wd]

Very nice work Talon!! You have a very one of a kind rig that we will be glad to wheel with. Hope to at least make mine trail worthy so I can tag along

 

[Talon84x4]

thanks Jerry, I can't wait to be done with this thing so i can get back out on the trail with you guys

a little update, decided to add a kick panel/splash guard type thing to the tube doors, just got the back one completely finished and now on to the front

 

[ToyotaDon]

Looks sweet!

Will the doors be body color, or remain black?

 

[Talon84x4]

black for now, but when i touch up the body when all this is done i might paint the hinge section and the bottom kick panel the same color as the truck

 

[Talon84x4]

the doors are all finished up

cheap mirrors from o'reilly

made some simple latches, they hold tight and don't rattle so i'm happy with them

and one more for good measure

 

[slickrock]

Looks great. The rear seats raised up will keep the pasengers happy. My FJC has "stadium" seats in the back (raised higher than the front seats) and everyone in back comments on how much better it is to be able to see over the heads of the front seats.
