So the template is made from luan, because cardboard, as I discovered, is way too flexible. The pieces at being held together by gorrilla tape.

Here are some shots

 

Holy shit that's a good idea

 

Awesome

 

Do you mean lexan?

 

Luan is an inexpensive plywood, ushually 1/4" and used as an underlayment for flooring

 

Is it the stuff those little airplanes you make as a kid are made out if?

 

Nah, that's balsa wood..same basic idea of it though..

 

interesting. Never heard of it.

 

Well alot of people just call it 1/4" plywood, thats probably why. Usually you staple it down on top of the subfloor for a nice smooth surface for linoleum floors. We also use it under tile, but thats so the top of the tile flushes out with the top of 3/4" hardwood flooring.

 

Well i've heard of that

 

Can't wait too see what I make at Mazda. Thursday can't come soon enough. I have ideas rolling around my head. I want my truck up in the air until SAS next year this time. I want an OME until then; then sell the OME. Waste of time?

 

Why SAS..just keep the OME kit on yours...You DD that truck..be patient and find an older model one ,either a 4-Runner or pre-Taco....then go "NUTS" #$$$$$$$$

 

You sound like my own father. Lol get a pre taco!! Either way I has a d44 Pass drop reverse cut front and Acquiring a 14 bolt next Sunday

 

If you're going to SAS as soon as next year, I wouldn't waste the money of the intermediate step of the OME kit. I also agree with Snoope though, I wouldn't SAS until it's no longer your daily driver.



Alex and Cam, that bumper is going to look awesome!

 

I will take that as a compliment.....At times you do show wisdom beyond your years and your Dad has to be that influence ....

Hell, Even Pugga agrees with me.... I'm having a good Sunday..

Stealership just called....They will have a GOOD decision by Monday pm for the NEW Corolla.....I have a 20 year old jumping around like a 'Lil kid

 

It's gonna be a daily for a long time.

 

I guess I should clarify, it's not the SAS process that I think shouldn't be done on a daily driver, it's the more hardcore off roading that you'd do with a SAS rig that I wouldn't want to put a daily driver through. If you are set on SAS, I wouldn't bother with the OME kit because you're going to spend a lot more on the suspension set up for SAS. It's just money spent twice that you won't get back (you might be able to use the OME rear but that depends on how you set up the front)
