Another toyota build....

[iamsparticus]

I like it cheap and it fits maybe you'll be done with this sooner and cooler than you thought

if you would have just bought that baja bug you wanted then we wouldnt have to talk about radiators

Nick, that buggy has the best lines I've ever seen.

I love how this thing is coming together Nick! The tube work looks great, I really dig how you put the front tube work together and kept a 'cab' like a pickup.

When we building mine!?

 

[iamsparticus]

Like it nick just need to get her done and you be driving happy

 

[Panos]

I have been super busy with work, and not had a lot of time to work on this. But i got the suspension mocked up and got a chance to cycle it a bit. It actually worked pretty good. rear ended up having 28" of wheel travel and the front has 26"

[SAMI]

Well done

 

[Hybrid Racing]

Looking good bud! I cant wate to come down and see it in action!

 

[Panos]

thank you, I just ordered the steering yesterday, I went with PSC. I got a 2.5X8 single ended ram, orbital and stub shaft. As soon as that comes and I figure out how to do the steering. That will be the last big step.

left will be:
fully weld
paint
skins
wire
plumb, brakes , clutch, fuel
rebuild shocks

then it will move under its own power, and I cant wait. these builds can take a toll on you haha

I can relate... :-\

Your buggy is looking awesome by the way. I'm excited to see it in action.

amen to that brother. But we live through your pics. Hang in there, there's light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[Herzog]

Looking really good!

 

[Hybrid Racing]

sweet I still have a ton on mine!! I will have to bring the truggy!? I think

 

[Panos]

No pics tonight, but I stripped it down and am welding the chassis in full now.
I also sold the tires and wheels. I am going a different rout, sticky Krawlers most likely.
I will still stick with 37's most likely. I am really up in the air though, because I want 39's but it might be too big for what I want to do. Also I am looking at getting some raceline monster beadlocks. that is, if the funds keep coming in

 

[sixstringsteve]

I still think those FJ steelies are sweet wheels.

 

[Panos]

they are, I have them on my tundra. but the back space is 5.5 and I want something more in the 3" range. I don't want to run a wheel spacer .

 

[iamsparticus]

Looks great Nick i can't wait to see it in person which looks like crawlfest will be the soonest
