Dammit.

 

Then lets box it only thing is it pretty much has to come to my house because my welder is not exactly portable (oldschool big Miller)

 

That's fine dude. So no axle reinforcement, cool.

Hey pingy sounding person, checkdriveshaft, that's what mine was doing

 

what what what! driveshaft huh... and lol no you don't need a trussed axle

 

finished this.. now trying to make 4wd light up

 

Nice man. looks like a tough project. Kudos

 

It was actually super easy!! now that I know the ways, dont have to do even half of what that guy took apart, I could pull it apart in 15 minutes if any other 1st gens want it welded as well.

 

^I may take you up on this at some point

 

Do it! i know you hate the clunking.. we all do

 

Haha which clunk? I have a few

 

Shweeeet. I dunno what id like to do first now. One issue is I only have sundays off....

 

One thing if you fully box the frame you end up losing the rear tire carrier. You could box most of the inside and then do the side plates and you would be fine. Are you gonna buy a frame box kit or going to cut them out of some plate? If I am cutting them there is no way I can do it and install all in one day lol

 

I plan on rear bumper tire holder, then custom tank between rails. How would you cut that thick of steel, do you have a template? I carpool to work so don't really always need a vehicle. Just be nice. Id be willing to help with other.

 

If your cool you use a torch or plasma or something. Us poor guys just use a grinder. You would only want 3/16 maximum and that cuts easy with a grinder. You just use cardboard for a template

 

Hrm. We should see aout someone getting us a digital te,plate, I can cut it in what freetime I have

 

I do have an aceteline torch, but its dirty

 

Damn right they are dirty.. let me know if you happen to end up with any extra cut 3/16 plate

 

Well I was just looking at Trail Gear box kit and notice they only box from the fuel tank cross brace to the rear. The section between the front leaf spring hanger and the fuel tank hanger is still not boxed. TG charges $159 for the box kit and $85 for the outer reinforcements. I think I could make the box kit and the outer reinforcements for around $100

 

Quick question:

Anyone know of a place to get a small atv tire changed/fixed in central/north phoenix?

I don't have a bead bar/spoon and it would be cheaper at this moment to have someone else do it. The Discount Tire by my house said that it is too small for them to do, new policy or something.

 

new driveshaft, and some pics of my truck. check out my build thread, last page.

some questions, come cool things, some concerns, some embarrassing messes, and some cool shots. so yeah.
