Anthony's 2010 banworthy access cab mostly BS not much of a build thread

Wow yeah I didn't even think of those. +1 Colin

Unfortunately summer is winding down here in the Northeast so sadly the tewb doors probably won't be staying on much longer. I'll do some research over the winter and see what I can rig up for next year. Guess I can just tap into the factory wiring harness and zip tie the wires to the door and then call it a day, should be a pretty easy mod

 

Just throw a $20 aux speaker in your center consul like I did. You start blinging out that thing anymore and it's just going to get robbed... heck it's already asking to get robbed here in the slums on dirty Jersey

 

Hey Ant do those Icon Coil Over covers do a good job of keeping the coilovers clean?

 

Ant your URE album on photobucket is set to private.. I cannot see them

 

LOL, nothing to steal in my truck except a cb radio and some shift knobs.

To tell you the truth I haven't removed them since I installed over 2 years ago

Ill snag a pic this weekend for ya and see how they're holding up

Sorry, should be fixed now

 

no one could steal your truck even if they tried... Leave the crawlbox on and theyll have a grand old time figuring that shit out...

But I don't think anyone wants them MC shift knobs... Just the purple shifter boots

 

Sub!

 

Love the build, to make your door swap easier you can notch the top of your door hinge and leave the top bolt loose while you take all the others off. Then you can slide it off the hinge much easier. I can swap mine in like 20-25 min by myself with that hinge being modified

 

Glad to see you finally updated the OP... And even with pics I took

 

Grove St. Motorsports doors make some pretty nice tube doors

What up whitey!! Been avoiding us TNers?

 

Nice truck Anthony. Crawl box is on my very short list. Got a question ...... Is the body lift necessary? Cause dammit I don't wanna gaps and shit everywhere between bumpers and sliders and shit. Haha

 

no its not necessary. I dont have one. will just have to beat more of the tunnel back to get the tcase to fit in its new home

 

The BL is used to allow the clocking of the t-case. I believe it also allows clearance for the shift linkage. Not necessary but helpful.

 

Beat me to it Ryan!

I've got a BL kit sitting in my shop - hopefully Ant & I will get it installed in the near future.

 

u dont need it to clear shift linkage since there really isnt any. i know with the setup ur tryin to use on urs it might help, but for mine, didnt need it.

only real reason u would need to have a BL is to clock the tcase to get a flat belly. mines clocked 5 degrees with out BL but not flat bellied. u could do all this with out a BL but u would either need to beat the livin shit out the tunnel, or even cut it out and reshape the floor. If i wanted to get a flat belly, i would have gotten a BL

 

Beating the tunnel is no problem. Not like you can see it anyway. Haha and y'all all have 4.0s. Wonder if clearance is any different with a 2.7. And how much ground clearence are you going by clocking it? Any other advantage to doing that? And wouldn't a skid cover it up anyway?

 

if u clock it, u can tuck the skids up higher. it just gives u more ground clearance. i know a ocuple trucks that got the tcase up above the frame.

i dont tthink the 2.7 is going to be any different really but never know. the tcase is still going to be the same as far as i know

 

But the trans if different. Just wondering if one sticks down farther then the other. So does the crawl box and fj case sit any lower then the stock tcase and skid? If not then no matter what you are gaining some clearance. I hit that damn thing all the time. Haha also how hard is the install? Is it just bolt up and cut some holes for the sticks or you have to fab up a new crossmember and stuff?

 

Thanks man! Might have to try that trick with the notching! It doesn't weaken the hinge I would be a little worried about it splitting at that top part if t was notched

Yessir

Thanks! Body lift def isn't necessary but it makes the install easier and like said below if you want any chance of clockin the case and keeping the drivers seat in the stock mounting configuration a body lift is the way to go.

Yeah there's not a whole lot of space in between the tcase and body once you move the case back 8"

Especially with your setup I think a body left is almost a necessity. With my shift linkage sitting down pretty low being one of the original marlin crawler twin sticks I could have easily fit mine in without the body lift.

Soon my friend

I would think clearancing would be the same. Maybe PM n0rth as he is a 4banger with the Crawlbox as well. I know with mine I gained a good 2-3" of clearance and it allowed me to bolt my ATO skids back up. I plan to cut off the stock crossmember soon though and go for a true flat belly.

j00 be correct sir

The Fj case would sit exactly like the stock t-case only 8" farther back. It's s full weekend project to do the install between hauling the bitch up there and cutting the holes then fitting the sticks and rewiring shit. Barry made me an additional crossmember to support the crawler that's welded right to the stock crossmember. Full write up is here:
