Low & Slow Quad Cab V2.0

[Tech Tim]

Very neat build, a quad cab is something I've been itching for since a trip to Aus about 6 or 7 years ago.

[Yota Rolla]

  build is lookin great. . cant wait to see it runnin

[DTPROFAB]

that is a cool idea im going to keep this in mind for my first gen..... some how ill figure it out

[IVrunner]

Love the bedside cubby idea.  Once your done with the truck, sell it to me!  Or, better yet - make an extra one and sell it to me!   I'd love to do it if I had the time and the resources.

Thanks guys

I think it would be awesome on a 1st gen

here's a little update, got the fuel filler neck tube ran and kept it on the passenger side, personal preference


then started working on the bed wall


just for reference i set the shocks about where they will be mounted to the cage that will be between the cab and bed, fuel filler will also be mounted to the cage




then started skinning, the two sections to either side of the center will have removable panels so i can easily get to the shocks or anything else back there

Interesting, looks good.

You don't think some fuel will sit in the long fill neck?? from the pics it looks like there is a low spot in the routing of it. toward the pass side.

Doesn't really matter since the top of the neck is still higher than the tank

That's true. Looks like Ill have fun with my Ford Style tank when i get to that point :]
Keep up the good work Talon!

[zippo]

Awesome. I would drive me crazy to weld that much sheet metal!

[twistedtoy92]

[locked 4x4]

[muddytaco]

yea i forgot about this thing, didnt see the bed done, pretty sweet

[86bobbedtoy]

updates man updates?

[Talon84x4]

Not much to update, got the cab side of the fenders trimmed, and the cab blasted. Have been working on some half doors for a fj40 lately, and also helped get my friends 84 running with his 5vz swap. Will get to work on my truck again after the upcoming holiday weekend.

[Mountain Cop]

Late to the show. Beautiful work man! Sub-fricken-scribed.

[Fo-runna]

I really like to see work like this. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[Talon84x4]

Work on this has started again. Had to get a new helmet and ran out of gas, but almost got the rear fenders finally welded up after they got trimmed. Trying to work out what to do for the tubing when i can't be out working on the body, here's what i came up for the rear hoop.



and then just an updated photoshop of how the bed ended up being cut, and how i think the rear doors will end up


that picture is my motivation, and i'm glad to get back to work on this project

[46&2]

Giggidy.

[86bobbedtoy]

awesome!

[THK Matt]

oh the updated photochop.... looks sick. can't wait man, glad to see your back on this thing

[Redbeard1]

I was looking at the top of a jeep cherokee rear door  as an option for a functional rear windo with readly available parts like glass the window channels... just a thought

[Talon84x4]

here are the fj40 doors i was working on


rear fenders trimmed/welded and finally done and all capped off




and the rear mostly blasted clean, needs a little more work

[Yota Rolla]

lookin great

[THK Matt]
