Yeah it looks much better with the bed on! nice work!

I think so too!

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #391 on:** Jan 16, 2009, 10:24:37 PM »

got some more done today... I got the bed aligned and bolted down, got the hole cut in the bed floor for my fuel tank and got the fuel tank re-installed... then I got on to my fender trimming on the bed.... here are some pics

the passenger side of the bed before chopage....(notice the premium rust hole)

then the passenger side after fender chopage.... I think it looks much better

then the driver side came out really good as well...

the truck is going in for paint tomorrow.... I think its gonna be white....I will get some pics of the paint progress as well

ya it is.... I am going to swap that cab on this frame too and just use it as my DD/weekend wheeler and then start in on the other frame and my red cab with links and coil-overs rather than swapping all this suspension under that truck it seems a little easier to just swap cabs over.... I need some 60's for my next project!

toyotanner · « **Reply #394 on:** Jan 18, 2009, 12:37:05 PM »

but wont you have to cut the exo off to swap the cabs? i have a rear d60 its out of a dodge powerwagon when you start looking check and see if i have it. i had the front 1 too but sold that awhile ago

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #395 on:** Jan 18, 2009, 12:41:42 PM »

yep the exo has to go but thats fine with me as it looks like

anyway.... how much you lookin for out of the rear d60?

toyotanner · « **Reply #396 on:** Jan 18, 2009, 01:13:10 PM »

i dont know what rear 60's are worth

edit: if you go 60's wont you have an ifs rear sitting around

bye bye exo cage

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #399 on:** Jan 18, 2009, 10:06:06 PM »

wayyyyy better! its getting an internal cage when the new cab is on.... I have kinda lost my interest in exo's now for some reason and the x-cab has plenty of room for tubing inside the cab!

greenjacob · « **Reply #400 on:** Jan 18, 2009, 11:38:02 PM »

so after all that work you cut the exo off what you doing with the truck now

toyotanner · « **Reply #401 on:** Jan 18, 2009, 11:54:43 PM »

yeah i've been looking for an ifs rear for awhile cant find one dont really need a 3rd member because i have my 5.29's just need the housing and shafts,brakes etc.

yep you got it! I learned alot from building that cage so its no big deal to me.... I am just putting my blue truck cab (same truck bed came from) on this frame so it will be full body and street-able.... then the red cab will be built into full tube truck with 1 tons, links & coilovers and all the real goodies....at least for this build I will have a rig to wheel while I work on it....

THK Matt · « **Reply #405 on:** Jan 19, 2009, 10:35:08 AM »

I say do a partial...

have the tube run on the outside of the A Pillars and enter the cab at the top of the windshield area.. and run along the inside of the roof and exit out the back of the cab and run it done into a bed cage....

Picture it?

I will just stick to the internal cage....I have lost my interest in the exo-cages I think I would rather sport body damage than an exo

there you go i think if you can drive your wheeler its way more fun anyways trucks looking good

olivedrab85 · « **Reply #408 on:** Jan 19, 2009, 12:18:13 PM »

pumkin toy · « **Reply #411 on:** Jan 19, 2009, 10:29:07 PM »

i rock my truck on the street with the exo alot! i dont see the problem??

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #412 on:** Jan 19, 2009, 11:29:54 PM »

I just dont want any unwanted attention from the po-po's.... the origional reason for cutting it off was to do the cab swap so I have all my fenders and a straight cab but now that its off I just like it way better without so I am gonna whip up a internal when the new cab is on....

pumkin toy · « **Reply #413 on:** Jan 20, 2009, 08:57:59 PM »

hopefully the internal turns out good for you. i have never fabbed up an internal cage.

80_yota_pickup · « **Reply #417 on:** Feb 01, 2009, 02:15:25 PM »

why did you decide to go with an internal cage instead on an exo-cage?

I just was not happy with how the exo looks on my rig not to mention the exo that I built for it looked like

! I will just run sliders and bumpers for the body panel protection (not that I care about body damage) and then run an internal cage so I dont die when I flop it down a hill....

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #419 on:** Feb 01, 2009, 02:40:27 PM »

I also just got my diagnostic port (obd2) wired up in the truck but I am having some issues with getting my scanner to connect to the ECU..... I wired everything as it said in the schematics but for some reason my AutoTap scanner will not connect to the truck so I have to get that all figured out yet.....
