any new update on the truck..? it is awesome

 

well I guess I can.....

so the cab cage is finally complete. I pushed and pushed til the fabricator took a full 3 days to finally complete it. And for the record I am done with the shop for personal reasons.
Specs: 2" .120 Wall Dom with 1.75 120 wall above the driver and passenger for helmet clearance.

so picked the tuck up Monday with a replaced rear window de to the back one shattered while welding. so this past Wednesday I cruised up to my friends shop where he built his own ranger from scratch and he added 4 more plates to the cab for me
2 plates below the rear window

So need to do seat mounts and harnesses and 2 tubes that connect cab cage to bedcage. Which are pretty easy. But I have been stocking up on some parts including seats and harnesses which I don't have a picture of at the moment and have made some big purchases that I have not spoken about.
I bought a 32 gallon Jaz Fuel Cell

Also 3 Link built by BTF originally built for a ranger but will work perfectly for my truck.

I have bedsides for the truck as well but they need repair and I am ditching the stock taillight and going LED Trailer Lights to be different. I have a lot going on with these different projects but goal is:

1. Tubes from cab and bedcage done by next week for the Cali 200 Memorial
2. Seat mounts and harnesses within the month.
3. Links, bedsides, full bedcage, fuel cell mounted up, 9" installed hopefully by the end of the year (fingers crossed)

 

thats so awesome the Dak finally goes of my hands now I have a 93 toyota hilux (pretty sweet)
and is good seeing the project going so good keep us updated

 

Got some small updates. Got the ruffstuff truss for my 9" along with my gears and spool and all my link mounts. Painted the cage work a gloss black as well as most of the inside of the cab (still have to finish) Going to order a fiberglass dash here soon. Went to the MORE 200 this weekend and went back to my buddy Ryan's and got some motivation. Cleaned all the grime, spring perches, shock mounts, spray paint off the axle and made it worthy again. Plan to buy all the material for the bedcage here soon. Grind off the old shock hoops throw them up for sale, and sell the bypasses or trade for coilovers straight across whichever works. Here are a couple pics: Pic of the truck with the stock front bumper back on at the end of a truck meet that I regularly attend IMG_4674_zps085cb47e.jpg Here is a pic of all the link mounts and axle truss from Ruffstuff: IMG_0345_zpsc1b9b66b.jpg Here is the cleaned up axle with the truss sitting on it ready to start getting welded on: IMG_9857_zpsfe23e536.jpg

 

yo bro, your thread is the exact helpfull thread ive been searching for! your truck is just absolutely sick! Have you pieced the rear end together yet? and how is the 9" rear end? does it match up to the front width?

 

the rearend is not 100% together yet. I am ordering a bearing rebuild kit and will have the 3rd member sent out and put together. I have some caliper mounts but have to find out exactly what they are for or might just do a junkyard swap. The rearend will end up being about an inch or two shorter than the front which is fine with me. I have been super busy working on the truck. no pics for you guys sorry Expect new rear setup, new front end suspension and motor wise.

 

Big plans are happening for this truck. Front end is basically sold if my buddy buys it, new motor since the 3.9 has been giving me problems and here is a pic i guess can be leaked

Shooting to have this done by the end of the year. Fingers crossed.
