HawsFF59 Build

You will have to wait a while, Craig be slow on them mods. I've been trying to convince him for months now to stop by my place and do the crawlbox.

Nice to see you finally started a build!

 

Thanks guys for your patience. I think the Plan was to make a run of 10 if the laser cut and bends turn out right for my passenger side mount.

 

So because of the interest in theses mounts a friend and fabricator of mine decided to rebuild them. Rebuilt out of 3/16's and bent and laser cut out of one piece. The fabricator said he'd do the first run of these at 89.00 plus shipping.

 

Because we all like wheeling, and Im a bit depressed because my single goal in life was to build this truck to wheel up to our cabin...... Snow melted, and none in site

 

This was the bumper mock up.

 

Then add some of these heavy duty bitches

 

Looks awesome so far man. If I had a welder close by id love to get those cab mount relocate brackets.

 

This guy does some amazing work!

 

How much do you have your coilovers cranked up?

 

The mounts really allowed me to run the bigger tires without a drop diff lift, or long travel. Im currently running 36" Iroks with 2.5-3" Camburg's Coils, and upper control arms. I also have 2" of body but knowing now all I need for a crawl box is 1" I think I would have done less. Of course cutting the fenders help too

 

Damn I love self fabbed stuff. Looks good.

 

Maybe 1.5" I orders them with the heavier spring and they are for an FJ which I believe are a little longer to begin with. I was told the FJ's with my plate bumper, and the lift I wanted was the way to go.

 

I had a bunch of help!! Lots of ideas on this site as you know

 

Ahh I see. I think I have mine up to about 1.25". I have the 700# coils on mine for the bumps and skids. I'm about 30% done with trimming my fenders. Need to get it done.

 

I like your build so far!! When I cut mine I left about an inch more on the top, and cut a little more on the front and rear. Theres a ton of room in there even with 35's

 

Thanks man! I have a feeling once I finish cutting the fenders I'll want bigger tires to fill the gaps lol. What gears are you running?

 

4.88's and ARB in the front. Its the bomb!! Geared a little high when I run 35's in the summer. I think its about right with the 36-37" tires

 

I want to do 36s next but not sure if I want to get 4.56s or 4.88s.

 

4.88's for sure

 

Somewhere along the line I picked these up. Found them brand spanking new in craigslist for 175.00. Little rusty from sitting in the guys garage as they were still raw steel.
