Like driving a topless 40, but with the awesome wheelbase of a Pig?

 

[RHINO]

not much exp with a 40,,, but i reckon so.

Looks great man. We'll have to meet up soon to wheel.

 

[BellyDoc]

Found your build.

SWEET!

I dig the way the A-to-B roof bars are joined in the back by that two part hoop. Are you thinking of some canvas for a shade?

How's the climb in, over those fixed door panels? Lots of buggies with skins have a foot hole so you can step on the rocker bar.

hey doc,,,, i'm thinking desert camo netting for a shade, this type http://www.opsgear.com/common/images/products/large/X-ATL-CAMO-NET-3682_02_lg.jpg

the climb in is fine but i might do the foot hole anyway.

That netting will make for one bad-a$$ looking Pig!

here is some of the painting i been doing, just trying to give it some curb appeal.

 

[RUSH55]

Frickin' cool!

 

[jdog35]

The door handle holes look like bullet holes! Maybe you can incorporate that into the skull on the other side for some "Don't Touch My Ride!!!" curb appeal

 

[RHINO]

haha sweet guys... this project has really got me going again, its like a blank canvas compared to the direction i was planning for it before.

 

[RUSH55]

Now you have a place to mount the 50 caliber.

All the pics of the cool stuff are dead. This thread has my curiosity, anyone have a few they could re-add?

It was cool for a minute, then he sold it not even a year later. The guy who bought it (not on Mud) recently removed the roofless tub in exchange for a complete one.

Here’s a link to a very high-end topless 55 build

Build Thread 'Resto-mod on my 55 has begun'

Jan 22, 2009

I've committed to cleaning up my rig. Since I tore all the wiring out, I've passed the point of no return. I've owned this wagon for 19 years and it's definitely time. I've attached some before pics and some of the teardown. I've got all 4 doors and the tailgate sandblasted and primed. I'm planning on a coil/link front and SOA rear. I'm going to keep the 350/ toyota 5sp setup for now. When the time comes, I'll get lockers. ($$$). I've been through a lot with this truck. Most of my 20's and 30's(lots of fun). I'll send more pics as I get s*** done. Seeing some of these builds has definitely...

Thanks @RUSH55 if I go that route mine will be completely topless door tops gone and all. Then weld up drivers rear door make it a 3 door with bench’s along the back on both sides. Full cage and a soft top like troopy top. Kind of like the low rider truck krew kut from the 90s.

Might be easier to just source a 45 series Troopy out of the middle east. Although they are a little difficult to find.

Don’t want a troopy, the idea is one off. I mean I would take a troopy and drive one as I don’t have one but not for this project.
