Sick loop man and i dig the end caps, they look good! YA that hole seems to flop people if ya don't know bout it. That spot where tim flopped is way cool and ya can just usually just drive it and it tips back down. Its a fun one, but wit no locker in the front there was no way he was doing that.. Great job T bone looks good man. Watch the chick side next time bra!! LOL

Good work as always pumpkintoy   . What was going on with your steering minicrawlin, and how did you fix it?

i have push pull steering still and the arm forced it's way out of the drag link when my shock mount broke and everything flexed out too much, then it was just all POP POP POP ha ha

And to fix it, i'm buying highsteer tomorrow lol.  . .  . cuz it's just hanging on since the drag link connection is all wallowed out now!

[minicrawlin]

ya i dig the end caps man they're sick!!
I think the spare carrier tie in will turn out sic?k.
You gonna keep the squared up connections into the carrier like its made on the hoop? that looks sweet dude!

[John Doe]

So what/ when are you going to do something about a cage? exo or interior?

haha yeah there was a bit of pucker in that one! I had the tip-o-meter up to about 45 degrees!

Good work as always pumpkintoy   .

Thanks dude!

You mean the mitered connections instead of bends?  No I think everything else will be bent. I ended up doing miter cuts on the shock hoop because both of our benders at work were broken!  I like the way the miter cuts look though

So what/ when are you going to do something about a cage? exo or interior?

Cage is the next big project!  I'm planning on doing a partial exo that will go over the cab and under the top in the back.  Hoping to start on that next weekend

[minicrawlin]

both of them were broken!? ha ha thats crazy man! bet that put a dent in production man!
i thought that'd be sweet if it carried through just to the tire carrier but itll turn out sweet!

ya man get workin on that cage so you can wheel some more serious       without worryin!
vanilla ice would be proud!   ha ha

yeah having both benders broken is a bad deal!  One is fixed now so next week I am gonna work four tens, and then come in on friday to work on my cage all day

oh and vanilla ice can suck it dry!  I hope he thinks that I completely ruined his rig and that it looks like crap now!

[minicrawlin]

oh yeah man i could only imagine the stress of having both down!         Oh yeah dude the guys out at Sam's site were complaining ALL METAL couldn't keep up with the steel orders they have!! ha ha      They're busting     out there though with caissons!
Thats BA though man, friday be cage building day son!! ha ha   

ha ha vanilla!   

[NITE KRAWLERS]

VANILLA ICE IS SPEECH LESS I KNOW IT! HE COULD ONLY DREAM THEN AND STILL!!

[pumkin toy [OP]]

Here are some updates for you guys.   Finally got my Tach installed last weekend. The factory one does not work with the engine swap.  Started on a partial exo on friday. I got the main hoop, A-pillar bars and a cross bar connecting them done.  I Welded what I could on top and left the lower section just tack welded to the sliders.When I get a few more pieces done I am planning on cutting the tacks and lifting up the whole cage to weld underneath.  So we took some guys from Colorado out wheelin saturday and sunday.  I wish I my cage was fully welded because I thrashed on it saturday!  I ended up getting into a rock really had on the driver side, I had to back out of it and the rock grabbed my main hoop and ripped it right off the slider and bent it all to hell!  I was pretty pissed about that, not to mention I smashed both my doors and the driver side body panel right behind the door.  Luckily I took the fenders off to work on the cage or I would have smashed the driver side one.  So the following are pics of the cage and body damage!

Cage looks like a good start. I wish I had a tube roller!

[THK Matt]

Damn Caleb, it looks more like you need to learn how to drive xD jk! :]

thanks!  yeah the tube roller is fun to use, can deffinately do some cool stuff with it.

yeah it does appear that way, but you have never wheeled in the black hills either!  Trails are extremely tight through the trees with lots of loose boulders.   Its so easy to roll off a boulder and right into a tree!  The guys from Colorado that we took out wheelin couldnt believe how "in your face" our trails are.  Alot of the trails we run dont have a way out until the very end, so if you break something you have to drag your truck through the rest of the way with the winch

[timmaytoyota]

build looks bad ass you should check out frontier 4x4 on pirate he had pretty bad ass partial exo on is 4runner. had the rear cross bars going threw the body with some sort of weird gasket on the outside of the body

i am normally not a fan of the exo but his is the best one i have seen. really close to the body

Ah its fixable! Windows and doors work fine, all the seals are still tight to keep the water out.  Thats what really matters to me.  I have another pair of doors If i want to use them.

[minicrawlin]

awe man but those were the super pimp deluxe electric window version doors! only like 2 of those were made, although i've heard that a 3rd pair snuck out of the factory somehow back in 89! ha ha   

and although there was only one made and it was ran by THE ACTUAL sweeny bro's, i'm not sure i'm putting the sweeny sweet back on or not man! what do you think? i might have to inlist your sweet bending skills for a quick one piece i can put my stinging stinger on! quick cash for you! ha ha       <-- check that dude out! sombrero wearing fool man! ha ha
