POS Taco

I’m trying not to. But........... we will see.

 

Just read through this whole build thread, nice rig! I don't have a fraction of the mechanical know how that you do but I always like living vicariously through others that can do badass stuff like this.

 

Thanks!! It’s years of tinkering away, watching guys here and other forums and IG build and use these trucks, having a bunch of buddies that all build on their own junk, and build to explore places that can be really tough on vehicles and people.

But my wife thinks I have a mental problem

 

This is how far I went into the cab under the door hinge. I need to work on the arc a bit. I also need to nip the bit of the floor there, and fold it up and stitch it together.

 

This spot here. Give it a pie cut, and fold it up and weld it.

 

Went a little larger with the cuts

 

Now for some templates, and get to welding.

 

Side views

 

Man, I missed a couple trips here! I gotta catch up!

 

Passenger side done

 

Drivers side done as well

 

Passenger fender on, and clearanced for the big boots.

 

She’s coming together.

 

Got a start on fit up on the drivers side.

 

Oh yea.

 

Fenders are on. Tires clear

 

Going to take her for a wash tonight, then start fitting up the grille, and work at the transfer cases. Box side should be here Thursday-ish. I’ll have to pull the box this weekend, and re-wire the original harness up to get factory lights again.

 

Now for paint.

 

Hey, I know you. Well on the internet but ya know, same thing!

Randomly found ya. Always like seeing your adventure pics, progress posts on IG.

 

You ain't wrong Ben!! Looks like it might've had some hollywood style injections too!
