rear body mounts (2 Viewers)

I have a little surface rust on them. I imagine that a lite sandblast will be enough to take care of that!

I have been dreaming of the day I would be using these things. Stoked!

Ignorance abounds! What’s a doubler?

A backing plate to weld to.

Best photo I could find, if you look at "A" that is a "Square Butt Weld" what I'm saying I would do to make that joint easier to weld is add a third piece of steel on the inside to form "D" a "Lap Joint"
Hope this helps my crappy first description.

On my other body I have a 4x4” tubing welded on for the rocker/slider. This time I am going to a 2x4 that is 14gauge. I saw some killa sliders on White Knuckle that bolt to the frame.

Nice dude! Very interested in seeing how they turn out!

 

[xtiaan2000]

Looks like I am finally going to get to use these things! Yahooo!

Bobm thank for undertaking such a task. I am appreciative of your skill and effort! Stoked!

Been digging on these 80 sliders built by Dave G. at 4Plus.

If only Dave had been making quality LC stuff a little while longer (tongue firmly inserted in cheek). Body for my Pig came from his yard.

Never saw any official 55 sliders ever produced by Dave, so I think it’s fair game

Just came across this company local to me for the “DIY” or “Martha” in you.

@TRAIL TAILOR has some sick “Landcruiser” tread plates. I wonder if those can be ordered a la cart.

Or just order the whole slider from him

Those are pretty sweet

Nookshnear you are always hookin me up! Still stoked on the white knuckle affair.

On my original the 4x4 that is on the above picture, I extended it to the front of the fender. Meaning I cut the fender. The reason I go into this is because I saw those two tabs to stabilize the bottom of your fender a long time ago! Haha I LOVE PICS. Thanks! Those two tabs are on my original and, as well, will be on this project.

Sounds cool to write ‘this project’. That might be the beers.

I would love to do the air tank thing but I am worried about the water that is created-rust.

How did you handle this?

Air rank thing is super cool/space efficient!

Get it son! I check in tomorrow to see how you are doing on that.

Problem is, when you publish your tasks on the internet, people hold you accountable from a distance.

Get some!

 

[xtiaan2000]

Lol

 

[RUSH55]

Man those look good! Those will be sweet to have in place

 

[xtiaan2000]

Work=reward
Progress!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Man, that does look nice.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Found this yuck at the bottom of the A pillar where the body mount attaches. Gonna have to fix that!

Kinda stoked on the body mount. It doesn’t look too bad.

 

[RUSH55]

Man, that is gonna be great
Did you weld in the new floor pan over the tub mount yet? Be a good time to clean it out really good and coat it with some protective stuff.
