It’s a 4 seater!!!!!

Wait! I called out that I want to be in that thing while its jumping a long time ago! So there must be a spot for me...?

Got some parts back from powder coat. Gonna get from bumper/winch mount done then do frame..

 

[xtiaan2000]

WOW! I love powder coating!

 

[landcruisnman]

Need to bolt up front clip and design a front bumper. I’ve got a 10k Warn I’m building it around.

 

[RUSH55]

Some big King coils up front? What’s the plan with the rear suspension?

 

[Megadoomer]

Scroll back a few pages. He has cantilevered coil-overs. Pig porn.

Front bumper..... going simple. Less is more. Housing the 10k Warn. Couple lights and winch points. Last body mounts done. Heims attached to links.

Bumper. Keeping it clean and simple. We’ll see what to add once the winch is covered..

What about running some of those LED headlights that Racer sells? That might be cool.

There's a ton of 7"Diam lights that I could use....that'll be one of the last things.

Having recently ventured into the GX forum, I think it’s the first mod on the parking lot crowd “new lights” , but for a built rig it’s pretty far down the list, especially if you don’t need to fab a mount for them...not sure it even makes the list?

 

[landcruisnman]

Final assembly item for sure. That’s all the fun stuff. Putting back together..

 

[RUSH55]

Yeah, I need THAT welder. Lincoln...?

Possible tube layout. It’ll have a fairleed plate of some sort between. Gonna try for something different. Stay tuned.
