you buy the chassis from Wade Sullens by any chance?

 

[Jacobmc]

No john in Memphis built it I forgot his last name..I did talk to wade at the time though...he was originally suppose to do my chassis

Just figured I would do a little update...I got my exhaust done Friday and it turned out pretty good...also got my shocks on and re built the back where the battery and tank are mounted,it was a little high so I lowered it..also got my hydro assist on

[Jacobmc]

Building one of them f toys is on my bucket list I have most the parts bought.

Looking good! I run the same tire. They are heavy but seem to be very tough.

Re:

I know they are heavy lol!..I shoukd be able to go ride next weekend hopefully they will do good..I have some 39.5 irocs im going to run also just need some wheels...Ive always wanted a f-toy finally got enough saved to start it...the only thing I wish I would have done different was stick with a 22r so I would be legal for comps and the toyota trail racing.

 

[ftoy516]

nice Ftoy.
these rigs take Ton of work to come together. i am sure you are glad to have it running. the 4.3 may be the ticket for the slick stuff, the extra power will be nice, i am not really sure how i feel about the 22r in mine just yet. i haven't got to take it but to one place so far and it needs a ram. but i wanted to keep it comp legal, so i totally get what you are saying

 

[Jacobmc]

Thanks...the only reason I went this way with it was because I already had the motor, trans, and cases....i probably want have time to do any comps anyways so ill leave it like this for now...it didnt seem like it was going to be this much work lol...I been working on it since last January

 

[midnight_f150]

How does the 4.3 feel in that light buggy? How far back did you push the motor?

 

[Jacobmc]

Its amazing!..I love having the tb350 behind it also...I have about a inch clearance where my distributer is

 

[Zman2day]

nice build... like the intermediate shaft... What pillow block is that? how is it holding up? Ftoy #9 could use something like that.

 

[Jacobmc]

Thanks man!..i will have to find the box for the bearing...I got it from Grainger and it was 90 bucks so far it is held up I have gave it hell and hasn't broke yet
