Wow...fantastic job. Is this vehicle to be registered for road use??

 

[tmarx]

Wow dude, let me just pick up my jaw from the keyboard - fantastic project and radical fab skills !


One question, why was the EFI carburatored ?

 

[pocholin]

yes it will be road use .....

in Venezuela from 1993 to 1999 all the 70 series were carburated... my is a 1997

I know its not the best design in bed cage but I love the look of the rc axial honcho.. so thats what Im going to shot

 

[pocholin]

looking good the bed cage also we fab the bump stop

 

[pocholin]

side view I start like it

Matters not what cruiser, the body and frame from B pillar aft has to chop, or everything becomes a compromise.

Was headed down a similar path, putting a 7X on a diet, but chickened out and opted the already ass-less oe solution.

Once again, my hat's off.

I like the rear cage. Appears a perfect mix of form and function.........just needs more triangulation.

 

[pocholin]

I was think the same .... but I used 4mm thick wall tube .. and also will do more trangulation
