Pop's Topkick 6x6 build!
 
So I built myself a 6x6 and the old man almost lost it. Gotta have one he says, but money is tight with the kitchen remodel:oops: then I says lemme look around and see what I can come up with;-) bingo"thumbsup" I had a stock pile of tlt parts collecting dust:ror: old j2tt chassis with a trans already on it! A bit of aluminum square stock and a sic Topkick body that will get a big rig style tow boom eventually :shock:

Got the pass thru center axle done8) bolted up the frame rails to the j2tt for the tranny drop:) and set everything out to see how it will look with mud pluggers on it:mrgreen:

thanks, was looking for an easy way to keep weight down low and have decent driveshaft angles and that was the easy solution;-) going to have the shock towers mount on the long rails above each axle not to the j2-tt chassis. working on getting links under it.
