Subway4X3 Shameless Copycat Build

Get @ramonortiz55 to do an Amazon study on it. Its worked before

 

I bought mine from another vendor that had it cheaper than Amazon

 

But what about having everyone add it to their Amazon cart, in order to drive prices down? Remember that?

 

I remember that..lol

 

Maybe we can get Amazon to bring the price down to $118,999.00

 

LLoyd, Was fun going through a build thread again. Haven't done that in ages.

I really like what you have done with your truck. For all the copying, there is plenty of innovation in here. Especially like what you did with swing gate modularity--very very cool. And my goodness, you've gotten lots of vehicle recovery options, tools and parts.

So in my reading, I never saw you specifically mention these:



They appear to be those aluminum clamps for lights. Are you using them for load stops to hold the fire extinguisher?

Thx.

 

I'll be doing something very similar this winter if you want to join the fun .

 

once you get the kinks out, and get that tube bender from Rogue Fab, I want you to make me one

 

Thanks for the compliments on my modular swingout system. Reminds me to add a segment on the 1/4” plate that I fabbed to be able to adjust the tire mount horizontally and vertically.

And yes. Exactly what I use those tube clamps for. Good eye!

My Velcro strap extinguisher holder kept flopping forward into my tailgate. Got these tube

clamps and flopping fixed.

 

Ooooooo getting excited !!!

Looks like all moved in looking good

 

I think I see my sliders!

 

Nah I think not those were mine

 

Here's how I dealt with my squeaky Dakars.

 

Total Chaos Cam Tab Gussets finally welded and installed

Weld:
Back side


Front side


Metal sleeve inside front bushing was rusted/frozen onto the bushing.


Lot's of Kroil and basic tools of persuasion:


Used my air chisel that i've had for a good 18 years or so. Didn't have to drill out the rivets. Make sure the chisel is sharp.


Welded on:



Used a shit load of anti seize for reinstall of all bolts.


Done

 

Maybe offer a DIY Kit? All the pieces ready to weld and then bolt on.

Or already welded, end user bolts it in?

 

That's a good idea. I'm going to get some measurements this weekend to see variation between trucks

 

Thanks. Us frugal peeps appreciate some of these partial DIY options.

Creating this from scratch is too daunting for me. But I can handle pulling together a bunch of pieces as long as there are pics and general
instructions. Videos are a huge bonus.
