My slow build of "The little Taco that could"

Now to start cutting for clearance.

 

Nice! Got any pics from the side?

 

Just have this one so far.

 

DAMN

 

Looking sweet Chad! New wheels and tires look great.

 

Moved the front axle an inch forward to clear my tires from my firewall and bottom part of my fenders. Went for my poser test and it cleared nicely.


Even though this pic isn't at full stuff. My daughter wanted me to go on that spot, so I did.

And you can see my 20" lightbar on the top of my bumper

 

Found my new favorite truck

 

Thanks.

 

Was throwing this idea around in my head for a while. Finally made an effort to do it.
Not sure if I want to cut more off or leave it as is and plate the top.

 

I wish you would have left the upper doorframe intact.

 

It was the door that the truck rolled on. So wasn't too much to save. If not I could go to a junk yard and get more doors if I don't like this set up.

What were you thinking about Adam?

 

Makes sense that you cut off the trashed part of the door. My only thought is from a purely aesthetic point of view half doors look much cleaner and "finished" with the upper door frame intact. When the upper door frame is gone and the door jam of the cab is visible it just looks less "intentional" if you know what I mean.

Kinda like this one: Pretty clean lines on this half door


versus something like this. This one still has a nice quality to it but the exposed door jam and weather stripping just doesn't look as clean to me.

 

Yeah I see how you mean. Was gonna go the first route but the upper portion of the door didn't allow me to keep it. Reason why I got another door.

 

I finally got around to installing my rock lights. Just need to finish with the front lights. Lights are 5050 LED strips.

 

Epic build.
Bravo.

 

Thank you sir.

 

Just got a little box from otrattw today.

 

Subd

 

Now that I installed the switches I bought it's easier to tell which switch is which.

 

Maybe an ARB locker for the rear and possibly some rear cab lighting.
