Thinking of tubing out the Runner. Suggestions
« on: Nov 20, 2004, 12:08:44 AM »
Well, I am thinking about tubing out my Runner. I would do kinda like the hendrix chassis type deal but would bend it all up myself.

I want to get my junk below 3000 pounds and I think this will do it.  I am currently at 3600.

It will still need to seat 5 so my kids and wife can go and that is what the grey things are in the cab area. 

The black areas would either be lexan of some sort or really light sheet metal.

Dont be too mean as I am a sensitive soul.   :wag:  :eyebrow:

Flame away and tell me if its worth it.

Oh, and the rock anchor shackles would disapear as I would link the rear end.

Now:


Idea:


85 Runner, 5" All-Pro Extreme Lift, Complete Marlin T-Case with new TS 4.7 gears, Super Birfields(Longfields), 5:29's, Detroited front, Spooled rear, 36" TSL's, Bikini top.

Yes, Livin in Kansas sucks azz!!

Thanks

I like it the way it is to but the whole passenger side is crumpled up and getting worse and soon, it will be horiblly ugly.

I was just trying to reduce weight and body damage issues.  If I could get the weight under 3000 pounds, I could flog on the rig a lot more and not worry about breaking it so badly. 

Who knows?   :eyecrazy:  :dunno:

Dents add character! Severe damage adds BEAUTY! Leave the body until it is non recgonizable, then tube the piss outta it.
That's how I roll
