A little trimming inside the fender had to go down to clear the tires.
I was worried about the width as well when I got it but with the dingo flares
It hits the class one spec with room to spare..

Kinda stalled on my build up of this at the start of winter and just drove it.
Got a welder in the works now and warmer weather is coming!

Thanks for the kind words, and the bump!

K, so I got my rear axle steer issue solved with some different shocks I had
lying around..
I decided she needed some love and some guts so I trimmed up a newbright jeep
interior and blasted it 80's blue (gotta love the combos back then).
The front bumper was half assed so I 3/4 assed it to something useable.
Lastly she got a tan! The color is satin almond..
Thanks for lookin!

Presenting to all hardcore crawler addicts:

The new, amazing - Gecko Reptilians - now you can crawl anywhere and everywhere!

<- I swapped out the HJ body to a hilux to beat on for a bit.
It'll go back soon tho, I have plans for a pickup box for it and a new paint job..

Thanks for the compliments guys!

As for updates, the link 'n leafer setup has been workin so well
I haven't changed a thing!
Couple stripped out ring gears in the yota axles and a busted pin on the
front stub axle have been its only issues...

elsewhere · 01-11-2014, 12:38 PM

Got some ideas brewin..
The hilux body is off and the HJ has some body work that's been done..

Finally got around to making some headway on my HJ!

I was so stuck as to how I was gonna make bumper mounts with the leaf spring shackles in the way..
Decided to try my hand at the whole bending sheet gig..

I was pretty happy with it so it went on.
Got ANOTHER bed in the works as the previous one went to another project.

Thanks, lucked out I guess

How'd you plug the hole in the roof? I have tried and failed a couple of times to fill it without completely warping the roof where it meets the wind screen.

Tappa who?

Tantaran69 · 05-11-2014, 09:33 AM

Truck looked good back then and is looking great now!!!!

I hope you are re using those sticky shoogoo R69 COMP tires from that pic on this build, LOL.

elsewhere · 05-11-2014, 02:56 PM

The top is still saggy in the middle, body work is shoddy at best lol
I just layered up styrene.

The tires are the 1.7 irocs, I'll be keeping those on to stay c1 in out local comps

elsewhere · 05-11-2014, 08:21 PM

Got the bed mounted and a bumpah made up.
