[toyspider81]

i may just come in help out on the rig  instesd so we can get that bad boy to the hammers.     im looking for a 5.29 for the front end any body

[Doof]

its a legit idea... tell us how it works if you use them... them look like they will be able to take a beating and save your glass at least a few times

[skipnrocks]

I never noticed the sliders on the tops of the door.  are you going to tie an exo into them someday?

[toy4x4ota]

no, no exo.  built just for the sake of saving the winsheild.  the back will probably get tied into some sort of bed cage though. once if start the cage work on my truck i will do something the same. 

[skipnrocks]

sounds cool man!!  good idea to save the shield!

[NorCalToy]

are the roof sliders tied into an interanl cage? i was thinkin bout something like this t obe able to have max head room and what not and mild/moderate windshield protectoion. good idea 4either way.

[toy4x4ota]

Yeah the sliders are tied into the internal cage at 3 different points two on the roof and one at the base of the a-pillar. Defiantly going to use the shat out of them as you can see the drivers side pillar and roof are already caved in a little which was the reason we are building them. And oh yeah all work you see done was with schedule 40 poop pipe and a HF bender. All the poop pipe was packed with sand and not bent over a 45 so we wouldn't have any kinks.
get some!

[toyspider81]

what up brotha !! what you got going on 2 night?

[toy4x4ota]

drinkin and smokin!

[toyotamobing]

hows the propane workin out for you?

[toy4x4ota]

i love it man, i didnt have a lot of trouble with my carb but now there is never an issue.  i would run on the street with out any problems either

[toyotamobing]

how hard was it to install?

[toy4x4ota]

easy, it could be done in a day but i had to keep getting stuff for the install.

[Doof]

you running a 15 gallon tank?

[toy4x4ota]

no just one 10 gallon forklift tank, would like to find either a 20 gallon rv tank or another 10 gal forklift tank

[toyotamobing]

how much did your kit cost?

[Doof]

do you have a hookup for your refills or do you just go and pay the cheap price for a refill?

[toy4x4ota]

i cant remember the exact amount, but it got cary's kit, maybe 850??  no hook up on refills, but thats in the works.  i would just go to united rental and fill, some local gas stations also have propane fill stations.  i was paying 2.75 a gallon but that was over 4 months ago, i havent driven it in awhile as you can tell by the pics

[Doof]

yea. did you get better mpg with propane or with octane?

[toy4x4ota]

i felt like on the trail i saved more fuel but it seemed like on the road, higher speeds, it used more gas. at the same time i really believe that i didnt have the whole system tuned right. when everything is put back togther im gonna try mess with everything a little more.

[skipnrocks]

ibut it seemed like on the road, higher speeds, it used more gas.

Thats pretty consistant with everything I have heard!

[toy4x4ota]

made a bar for the cowl




also made little gussets to the shock hoops, the piece of angle iron is for the propane




what im shooting for

[Yeagley]

That thing is sick. I like how the cage is under the sheet metal.

[Doof]

looks good. i like the way this is going
