ponethousand's build

Well I have extended travel icons with the LR upper control arms. I'm cool the way it is now.

Bushwackers, looked at them in the past but decided against it.

Only had two hours to work on it and got way further than I did yesterday.

Able to remove fender, cut the bumper finish most of the chop. Just have the dreaded lower portion to do. Hopefully I'll be able to work on it this afternoon a bit. Then the fenders!

Repainted my grill and corner lights also.

 

Are you at home right now? I'll be by in a little bit.

 

I am, headed to church. I'll be home in the afternoon. I'll text you.

 

You gotta have the sickest 1st gen I've ever seen. Very nice man.

 

Right on. I'll swing by later after I run around.

 

Thanks! Come to a meet or a mod day. Check out the tidewater thread

 

Hell yeah man. I check out that thread every once in a while. Was gonna ask you where you usually go wheeling. I don't have 4x4 but would like to find some easy dirt trails in the area.

 

Finished up with cutting on the passenger side.

First had to beat this area so it would clear


Almost got it on the fist try. Trimmed another inch off the bottom




This week I'll be messing with the fenders and flares. Then one of the local members is going to come by my house and help me with the welding. Primer, seam seal, herculine. Then go get the rest of the tires.

 

Awesome! This thing will be a beast

 

Next level Paul....Next level!

Great job so far.

 

Oh, you DO have extended travel, thats rigth. Should be ok with that. Keep up the good work man, got a lot of balls to cut your shit like that .

 

Coming along nicely!

 

Thanks everyone!

Adam, I hit up sixstring on the utah 4x4 forum. Asked some questions about the fenders and flares. I guess when it comes down to it, just mount it, cut it, and fit it. There is no easy way around this. Thanks for the links!

 

Saw that. Good luck. Anxious to see the finished project.

 

Worked on it a little today. Got the tire mounted to one of my fj rims. Wanted to make sure everything cleared at full stuff. Had to beat the top portion of the wheel well a bit. Other than that it was all good. Also put pack the fender to see how it fit. At full stuff everything is great. Don't even hit the top of the fender. Have about a half inch to an inch to spare. Now turning the tire is a different story. I will have to trim the lower portion of the fender a couple of inches. I'll have to modify the flares a bit also. That will happen at a later date. Want to trim up the fenders, weld the patches and get the tires on already!

 

Aawaah sheeeiiit son

 

Few pictures. Got the truck on all 4 35s. Crazy how much higher it is now. Looks great. First time I threw on the 35s on the rear. More trimming.

 

Shit yeah!
