MY TURD ON TONS

[XJfreakHO]

sweet lookin rig man...its nice to see someone else rockin a full size!

Lots of people rock full size trucks, just not in our particular group, but thats available for changing, Altoids intends to join after coming out a few times, and he has the Kraken, makes you and all of us, look like fun size rigs.

I really like those rockrings, are those from Mudpro?

THANKS MAN, NO BUGGY BUILD HERE LOL

YES MUDPRO CENTERS AND ROCK RINGS, RIDES DID THE WELD WORK. TWO GREAT PLACES IN MY BOOK

 

[HGSR]

its not a big boy but to get me by for now it will do, all my big stuff can be tac welded at home and welded at work with there machine

 

[HGSR]

ok so i sold my civic coupe that i played with for 6 years, so i now have a few more coins to spend on the black hole. so i bought a welder, that opened the door for things i have been wanting to do but could not. so i broke in the welder tonight with bobbing the bed. i cut off 1 foot.

thanks bro, i got pics from tonite but photobucket is junk

 

[HGSR]

i got the bed floor cut off and its looking like normal again, i scored this winch sat, XD9000 warn. so iam going to mount this one out back

 

[92yotaman]

do you have a before and after full truck shot of the bed bob? from what i can tell it made a huge difference

 

[HGSR]

check out the pics on post #29. it had some before and after shots. honestly i wish i would have cut more off. but 12 inches will have to do for now.

I wasn't really a fan of full size trucks until I saw yours. Looks tough man. I like the bed how you've got it now.

brother thats the best compliment i have got this far THANKS!

 

[jyaks]

you planing on hooking the tailgate back on or just leave it open

 

[HGSR]

Iam planning to make it function again. It's going to take some work but it's all good

 

[HGSR]

i got a few more needed items this week. iam going to plate and box the frame as well. its not cracked yet and i hope the keep it from that

and i picked up this notcher and bender, its the afordablebender.com one. ill have to order a 1"3/4 die for it as it only came with a 1"1/4. but $200 for the bender and notcher i dont feel like i got hurt. this bender will do for now. but i may have to have a few things done by someone that can do tighter bend radius than 7 inches. but its a start.

 

[HGSR]

i sold the motor, and i wanted to narrow the front so why not pull the clip to make pulling the motor easy. ill post as i go with the narrowing of the front once i get going. ill also clean up the fire wall and delete all the useless things. deff that ac box junk

 

[HGSR]

well my rear shocks finally showed up. there hella stiff. deff not as soft as the front. so a revalve may be in order. the 7/8 shaft is awsome lol

i had to move out the heap to put my motor in a guys car. yay tire money! so i fig i would take some outside pics.by now you know i like to take pics

i pressure washed everything under the truck and all of the dirt/mud from years back/and leaky what ever

 

[HGSR]

WELL SOME OF MY CHRISTMAS GIFTS SHOWED UP TODAY. BLUE TORCH FAB HAD A GOOD SELL ON BATT BOXES AND THE WELD YOURSELF DIFF COVERS. I HAVE SOME GOODS ORDERED FROM DIY4X TO.

 

[TCUCV]

You build looks like its coming along pretty nicely . . . lovin' the bob bed. I just picked up an '85 CUCV, the full size is the way to go! What size tires are those on there in these pics?

Keep up the good work . . .

 

[HGSR]

37 INCH H1 TIRES. THERE GOING TO BE MY STREET TIRES. PLAN ON RUNNING 42'S LOL

 

[HGSR]

thank you!!, iam in a massive rush now. its supposed to be what we drive away in after the wedding, may 7th isnt that far off.

 

[HGSR]

well i guess its time to update the thread as i have made progress/destruction
i cut 12 inches down from the sharp body line, i wanted to keep my doors and have functional windows. so 12 inches was all i could really get away with. i moved my bottom hinge up to where my top bolt hole is now the bottom hole. and welded it to the cab and door. i ground my hinge pin so i can still remove the doors. i uses 2x8 rectangle tube with 3/16 wall, 5 feet long. ill have more pics of the later progress in days to come. ps i need a sponsor lol
