Building the "BEAST"

Well, i used to be able to copy from my board to this one but now it wont let me so I'll just have to post up links to my board so you can see what we're doing.

Follow this link to what we are doing now. Rebuilding the Beast

Just click on the link above and you can follow along. You'll have to go into into the main forum to see the conversation but you can do that at the top of the page.

If a moderator is reading this maybe you can explain to me why I can't just copy a post over anymore. Sure made it easy to get stuff posted on multible boards for you guys.

The Beast gets a new face lift.





Jason had some free time at the shop and wanted to get a plate bumper fabbed up for these Taco's with the wider fenders. Looking good.

 

Have you considered relocating the cross member below the radiator (move it up a few inches?) How is your approach angle?

 

That wouldn't really gain him anything because it's so tall....

 

Yea, you are right. I have seen it relocated before. I would like to see a side profile of the front, once its done.

I'm no moderator, but maybe I have a solution. on RST, edit the post you want to copy, select all the text and graphics and "copy" using the mouse or CTRL-C keyboard shortcut. Go to the destination forum TW create a new post and paste everything in. That should hopefully work.

Love the work you do Wyatt, been following your build for a few years now thanks for keeping us all posted. Your truck and your work is an inspiration to me.

 

New front bumper is nearly complete. Just a couple more hoops and some poweder coating and it's ready for the trails. Well.... at least the bumper will be. This is a 2nd gen DeMello plate bumper for the taco's that has been stretched a few inches on either side to make for the larger front fenders.

 

subbin this for sure. also diggin the bug in the garage

It starts a couple of posts down.

 

Thank you. Here is a link to some of the work I've done to it as well.

The wifes Bug

 

OK, last saturday, Dan and I went to the shop and pulled the fuel tank and the rear springs and shocks. Picked up the new bodies for the rear coil overs and they will be taken to a shop to have the internals from the rear shocks swapped over to the new coil over bodies.





When we pulled the rear springs off we discovered that one of the springs was broken. Don't know when that happened but it kinda makes the spring useless. Good thing I'm changing that. I'll get a picture of where it broke later this week.

Next weekend, we break pout the torch and start cutting off the old hangers and start making room for the new mounts. We'll also box the frame where the mounts will be which is why we removed the fuel tank.

See ya next week end.

Here is a link to follow along.
