45acp’s DIVORCED build!

Ditch the crawl box. One more thing to break and not needed in U4 style racing.

Is there anything locking those pins on the seat adjusters?

 

Yeah, the pins have a ball bearing style detent on the other side. The Chassis Unlimited seat sliders are really nice/well made.

Picked up the doors and cap. Gotta figure out if I'm going to use the blue door on the driver's side or convert the original using the smoker window parts. Might have to change mirrors if that is the case.

Also picked up the cap on the same trip. It had been sitting for 10+ years so there was plenty of moss growing on it. A couple minutes with the pressure washer and it's looking almost new again. Luckily it was sitting under a tree out of the sun, so the gaskets are still in pretty good shape. There's a small crack on the hatch, but I don't think it would be difficult to fix. I'll color match it with the truck.

just about done with the back half of the Tacoma for the time being. Re-welded some of the intersections, added the bump cans, limit straps, and dual battery tray. I also welded the landing pads on the rear axle as well as adding a tab to the shock mounts to make the limit straps double-shear. I'll get pics up this afternoon when I get everything remounted.

 

for pics

 

subd. I don't know what one I like more, the taco or the 1st gen pickup.

 

Holding off on the 'lid' for the spare fluids until I get the rest of the parts for the fuel cell and figure out the best mounting solution. I welded tabs on the tubing located on either side of the fuel cell for the storage containers I'm planing on adding. Drivers side will house the ARB twin compressor and air hose. Passenger side will hold recovery straps, etc. I loaned out my dimple dies so the upper mounts for the triple bypasses will have to wait as well. Other than that, I think fabrication on the rear is actually good to go. Also, since I upgraded to 220v, I went ahead and ground down/re-welded most of the tube intersections.

Just checking in on the never ending build

 

Killer work buddy!

 

Haven't checked in on your builds in a while. Hope the supercharger is working out now

 

BTW, anyone looking for 18" limit straps? My measurements were off and I need 17" on the rear.

 

This is definitely my favorite build! Watching the growth of this has been unbelievable, you are truly skilled and dedicated! Oh my god, it must be so rewarding to wake up every day and see that MONSTER out in the driveway. Beautiful job, keep it up and I'll keep looking!

 

Holy mother of God
