pics of hardcore built fj80's?

[theotherwhitemeat]

i know lots of people daily their vehicles, or have them pretty road legal, im looking for examples of pretty extreme modified rigs.

like comp cuts, tires bigger than 37, BIG, lots of fab work, maybe someone who chopped their roof off. you get the idea, im just trying to see how far some people go with their stuff.

I am pretty sure they are all in 37" and bigger tire thread. Lots of pics there.

Check out the hardcore section as well. And search around.

Search 80s in hardcore and hardcore in 80s tech for a start.
Also try searching:
ultimate 80 (Drexx's built by Hanna)
Unbreakable fab build in hardcore
Action Jackson build
3link in 80s tech
And in the 37 tire pic thread there are some new comers I don't recall names of. Ones a recent copy of Shaun Jackson's build. The other is a CO member putting one tone axles and 42s under his rig. They are around. Just gotta dig a bit.

This is js93cruiser's 3-linked monster on 40s with a 9.5" front axle. Hardcore build, yet still looks like a Land Cruiser.

Just a teaser shot. Rear doors are pulled inward about 9 inches, hood is also doved a foot on each side and pulled down 3inches. I need to finish the exhaust and plumbing for the rear mounted radiator before the cage is built this summer.

Not mine. Just from a guy I know. He uses it for Tough Truck Challenge and rallies in the jungle.

How come he's selling it? I saw it on CL.

Damn I had no idea! Shame, that was one of the baddest rigs on here! Hope a MUD member buys it

someone post a pic of tirediron's rig on portals

Here is my Franken80, not very streetable, but mostly stock drivetrain + longfields, Marlin t-case gears...shows how capable an 80 is out of the box if its A$$ wasnt so big lol

 

[theotherwhitemeat]

makes me want to chop mine up and make it a dedicated trail rig. I picked up a welder and tube bender from a friend to start building my cage...maybe go another direction lol

 

[itbrokeagain]

Time to chop it up soon

Sweet Truck! I remember when you flopped your truck and started your build, very clean!

 

[2fpower]

VcCruzr inspired me......

Not hard core yet. Just added hydro assist, got new rubber on FJC rims ready to go on after doing new Monsaliner this spring -- the tiger stripe paint job the kids added with shaker cans at last minute before SMORR last year.

My vote for awesome rig is on one of the hydro threads. 4 link rear, hydro assist.

Thanks man! I still need to finish some loose ends: cage reinforcement, front fender bars, tube doors, etc......

Took this last year off due to being laid off but time to get back on it!

 

[jcardona1]

Very cool! I like the lines of this one, still keeps most of the truck and seems pretty easy to do. When I flop mine, I'm doing something like this
