Hoarder23's War Wagon build

It's about time I've started this, 3 years and a few cuts and scrapes later.

I bought the truck in August 2012, flew to Nashville, the seller picked me up, I signed some papers and drove it 545 miles home to New Orleans.

You should do something with your truck.

 

^^ nice truck

 

This is some high level creeping, I've avoided making new posts until I get it completed.

 

I love seeing works in progress, seeing it half taken apart makes it more satisfying when you see it back together again

 

I'm talking more about the thread than the truck. The truck is complete enough to beat up.

 

I was bored and searching for build threads

 

Nice build, man!

 

Thanks

 

this thread needs more pics from the OP about his mods

 

I'm terrible about pictures, I prefer to just wheel it. These are the pictures I took while installing the FJ case this week.

 

How long did the install take?

 

10 hours Wednesday doing the case swap then about 4 today for the wiring.

 

I placed an order for a @HomerTaco grille in Jan '13 and it finally got delivered in Sep '13. 3 and half years later in still happy with it.

 

About time you updated this thread! When you getting the HC rear bumper?

 

It's on.

 

Very nice. What's next on the list for mods?

 

Wiring lights and a bunch of aesthetic stuff. Cleaning up the FJ Case install, getting things painted or powder coated orange.

 

Good deal. Can't wait to check out the rig at Jambo....it's been a while.
