Glen's budget rebuild

[Shoyrtt]

HEY  do i have to cut the body like AJ did in this pic

It should fit without cutting the body.

[Gittinit]

It should fit without cutting the body.

How much difference is there with the 1st/second gen ifs box mounting? The pic you posted is a 2nd gen right Shorytt?
Ya might get lucky Glen. 

[tom w.]

I can't really remember, but I think I had to trim a little bit on mine...

[79coyotefrg]

oh well, i guess if it needs to be cut  then we'll cut

[mudmaster]

I didn't cut mine either. No pic, sorry

[4inchToyotas]

the best I could find of the generation differences:

the best I could find of the generation differences:

I should have been more clear. I meant the difference between 1st gen and second gen bodies.

Does the  rad support sit in comparable locations in accordinace with the frame, and body mount?

I have mounted boxes on second gens, solid front axle, and IFS equipped rigs, as well as a taco. I have never mounted a ifs box on either the 1st or 3rd gen rigs though. I think the body mount may be a little further rearward on 1st gens. My only real experiance with 1st gens involve parting them out.

I'll see about getting a pic of mine when I get home.

so you didnt have to cut the  inner fender ??

[mudmaster]

No I didn't. I have a 2" BL, but I can't if I put it on before or after the high steer 

[79coyotefrg]

No I didn't. I have a 2" BL, but I can't if I put it on before or after the high steer 

[mudmaster]

Not sure if the bl helped with clearance

[Jordan7118]

No I didn't. I have a 2" BL, but I can't REMEMBER if I put it on before or after the high steer 

This, I believe, is what he meant to say 

[mudmaster]

This, I believe, is what he meant to say 

yes it is. I guess I was distracted and missed that

[CTENG in KS]

Holy moly, screw that...I am happy to have the extra room to work...kill the fenders!

[skipnrocks]

Are you really not wanting to cut anything, or just curious if you have to or not?

[79coyotefrg]

a little of both,  but  not skeerd  since the  new truck will be made of like 6 different trucks anyway


i looked around  my mess today  and found a  piece of 3 inch angle iron .250 thickness,  im going to notch it  maybe this weekend  and beat it into place then  weld it  to the frame, this will give 2 dimensional support  to the frame

I'm waiting for him to weld one of his dogs to it. Maybe as a horn or something, just grab the tail and pull.
