dude nice job is that how ur gonna run the springs i know there hella soft and perfict for crawlin and ya the third bumper would look killer and have u desided what type of tire ur going to use

 

[fordzilla1]

im buildin my own coil springs from those. there gona mount just like a store bought coil.

for tires i was thinkin some IMEX G hawgs cut like this

ounce the suspensions done ill mount the bed clean up the body lines, repaint the frame,build a rollbar, built a bumper, some skid plates, and get it all goin. than ounce thats done ill start workin on the scale parts like highlift jack shovels etc.

looks really good. but i have to admit i am partial to the ford body as that is what i drive

 

[hiliftcrawler]

good idea u gonna do the full narrow setup to look just like that

 

[fordzilla1]

ya i like the body to (it was the only one that big i had layin around )

but ya im gonna cut the tires and glue em back to gether like that im gonna try and make them a little wider cause i like the tire hangin way outta the fender look

but sadly production is gonna be a little slow for a week or so cause my dad is moving and i have to find a new place to work on my truck

 

[hiliftcrawler]

just do a full narrow on the tires and if i where u id get wheles like the wheelie king wheels or the deep traxxas stampede original rims with eight holes and narrow them from the back and have a set af deep wheels that will make them stick out

The drab olive looks good. Have you seen this truck?

http://www.motortrend.com/auto_show..._toyota_tacoma_v-8_incross_concept_truck.html

 

[fordzilla1]

havent seen that toyota before.

i used 1/4" rod for 4 link, and 1/2" square for the frame

 

[hiliftcrawler]

i was close pics make it all look smaller

 

[hiliftcrawler]

hay anything new yet or still no place to work and not to dowt u but that doesnt look like 1/4 inch rod on the fourlink it looks like 1/8th inch rod r u using stampede style steering rod ends thats what they look like ive just messed with alot of metal and that doesnt look like the rod is 1/4 inch

 

[fordzilla1]

yes you are rite i was kinda in a rush when i said they were 1/4 they are 1/8 brass rod, and yes they are stampede rod ends. i have some more comin in the mail soon. does anyone know were i can get a traxxis stampede complete trany?

well finaly got dad all moved today. i still have a small place to work and i snagged the welder before he did."thumbsup" but i get paid tomarow so ill have some money to F off with. im thinkin bout tradin my friend my paintball gun for his complete T-maxx, only driven twice at the gravel pit. id use it for parts like the esc, drivelines coilovers, etc. than sell the rest to my other friend who needs some frame parts.

but tomarow ill be buildin a suspension system and transmision bracket. ounce all thats in ill be able to hard mount the bed.

good to see people still interested in it8)
