Basik Built taco

They look like butterfly latches that used to be on old school guitar cases... and that is a nice touch.

 

Yep that's exactly what they look like. Thanks man

 

Southco is the brand that makes em... we use em on the helicopters to hold access panel doors shut... Amazon sells em... but u have to buy the latch and catch seperate

 

My new and hopefully final bumper for this truck is done lol

 

Got to see your first front kit in person this weekend - nice work man, keep it up (just not on another bumper I guess lol)

 

Glad I sold it to a guy that’s actually using it

 

How does the hood open with the cage going through it?

 

Like normal... I have the stock core support in there still... and the hoodpins are a button latch style works great... the interconnect tubes are removable too

 

The grill on a Taco is not attached to the hood like a T4R

 

Gotcha, ^^^ was what I was missing.

 

Might as well update this thread some....cut the truck in half, been building thebackhalf lol

 

Now where will the motorcycle go?

 

Progress...gunna have a hatch style top with the spare on it and a tailgate section that folds down...trailer hitch will get out in soo I can make a expo trailer and a dirtbike rack as well

 

Capped a few tubes...finish welded most the backhalf....almost done with the upper link, and added the lil trailer hitch bit

 

Made more progress....lower half of my upper shock towers burned in...I'll have the battery mounted tommorow...all the links are 100% done...just need to do the fuel cell and build the hatch door stuff and a few odds n ends

 

That’s some insane tube work. Keep up the great work man.

 

Thanks man! Yea it's a toughproject lol

 

Kind of what I'm thinkin for the rest of the shock tower...or without the tubes and just overlays

 

My tailgate progress...almost all tacked up...next is the hatch!

 

damn dude! you aint fcking around!!! i barely started to read your build!!
