UPDATE: boxed in rear fenders after cutting, and made new battery tie down.

Nice work! I still need to take more out of my rear fenders, still wasn't enough. I'm gonna have to run the cut right up to the edge of the door. There won't be any lip left after I'm done

Going to weld it up? We cut about an inch strip off the whole thing, bent new metal strips, boxed in the lower section, welded it all up and currently working on re-Bedlining over primer!

Nice work bro!! Who's the source on the tube doors!!??

 

[jcardona1]

Man, I so want to tear my carpet out and Monstaline the interior. But lots of people complain about heat and noise. How's it been for you? This isn't a daily driver but I do drive it 2-3hrs on the freeway to the trails and I'd like it to be at least a bit comfortable

I have seen no side effects to the bed liner inside, still slight smell of rubber but getting better. I don't notice anymore noise, if anything it seems less loud then the carpet.

Nice rig. I picked up a 95 from north seattle a couple months ago. I live in eastern montana now though. Miss the pnw a lot. If I'm ever back out that way we'll have to meet up. Keep up the sweet build i need to start building mine.

 

[Apounder]

Yeah definitely hit me up if your in town!

 

[Apounder]

UPDATE: needed to be able to tow the shifter karts to the track so got a simple high clearance rear welded up with a hitch! More will be added to this in the near future.

Cool looking 80..40's must be the new 37's. I need 37's on mine now , 305/70/16 just look way too small now

UPDATE: custom double carden drive shaft from woodies for the front, and metal tech rear upper links!
