Lil Digger Truck - ECORS Stock Racer Build

Better Check that thing for leaks. Welds look porus as hell.

I haven't acquired the lex-an that I need to seal off the top part of the box yet so I will have to come back to this later....
And I have to put all of the cross bracing in for the B-pillars before I can figure out where my speakers go. So it looks like I'll be bending some tube tomorrow for the mid-section of this Digger.

Now that I know what I have to work with it looks like I'll be running two different style amplifiers

I know enough about speakers to get myself in trouble, I'm thinking that I need a small amp that will push 60 watt RMS x 4 at 4 Ohms and a larger mono block amp that pushes 1000 watt RMS at 2 or 4 Ohms

Whoever know's more that I do on this give me a clue????

x4

6.5 inch Weather Proof Marine Speakers x4 :Rockon:

I just haven't figured out exactly where I want to mount them....

This spare tire carrier is a gajillion times cooler than the one I cut off

This is the type bumper style that I have wanted to create since the beginning but I had to build it 157 times in my head....

I'm happy with how the rear of this thing turned out, and it should look wicked with some skins

 

[joed4x4]

lookin' good, you going to have it together for Auburn?

 

[jeepn-jason]

david, might want to line the inside of the speaker box with some kind of dynamat to deaden the aluminum. It will flex pretty bad with the sub jumping around, but some some deading material will help that a ton.

What tires and such are you going to use?

What tires and such are you going to use?

29" TrXus Digger tires and 31" Buckshot M/T Digger tires

I'm going to order my radiator tomorrow, might even have it by friday

 

[Neal3000]

pure fawesomness....are you going give any love to it's Toyota roots when you make the skins?

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

No I gave it enough love by keeping everything that I absolutely had to keep.... hehe

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

Got the radiator mounted tonight and some more tubes in place.... Rocky is going to help me get the motor on check tomorrow

If thats all your catching then I'm Golden









Crunked up for engine check.... Diggers been through hell so going to go ahead and change the water pump and crank seal is leaking.

Oh and the crank pulley has been 1 rib short for the entire time I've had this thing and the crooked 6000 rpm power steering belt never flew off or gave a shit.... Going to throw on a 3 rib crank pulley tomorrow....

haha, yeah



nah one needed to make out with a charger for a while, but I set an arc with the charged battery with a couple screw drivers and she fired right up

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

had to put these tubes in real quick so I can get the pedal assembly mounted tonight

 

[Ron]

maybe it will be ready by 4/30.....

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

This is the wrap and color scheme I want to go with.... Old School Toyota Racing Style

Most of the body for this unit won't be made until after the Alabama race, so until then I will be sporting naked aluminum
