I.w.i.w clampy

[baldduck74]

Ok, so tried to get him to come on here and start his own thread, wasn't interested YET.
It's the first vehicle he bought on his own, he got it and started wanting to do all kinds of stuff to it, I said no. Reason, he needed to learn from the build process.
As it sits today rebuilt 22re stock, stock trans, into toyota to dana 300 case, ****ty cable shifters I had laying around. 5.29s welded rear sparten locker up front, ifs/hub brake swap up front, cross over with 5th hole mod. Typical yota stuff.

Thanks for starting another cool thread.

Ya just can’t beat a Toyota. They’re kinda like a sore Peter

 

[baldduck74]

Any recommendations on a rust neutralizer that actually works. Asking for a crusty toyota kid

Sawzall

Sawzall

Haha, he hasn't worked on it in going on 2 weeks, sheet metal rust is deleted by said Sawzall and cut off wheel.
I think he his waiting on me to work on it, I told him my **** work can get expensive.

@Mattman347 does that sound familiar to you with the kids wheeling?? :rolf:

Been meaning to ask, what’s the abbreviations in the thread ***le stand for?

 

[baldduck74]

I wish I was clampy:rolf: He didn't find it funny but I did

Ah I gotcha.

Nothing major been done except interior part of the cage is done

 

[baldduck74]

Cage 98% done other than welding it out, ran out of tubing. 1 bar on passenger side to match drivers in the bed area, and some tubing for shock mounts.
We allways come up short here, never have any excess :unsure:

 

[ridered3]

Looking good!

 

[baldduck74]

He said thank you

 

[baldduck74]

Got the TJ regulator cut apart and modified to a barb outlet, cut the plastic out and soldered brass barb into the regulator to attach inner fuel hose. Tapped and welded 3/16" washer from the hole saw pile.
Wasnt to bad other than the plastic tangs holding the regulator in was *****.

Fuel cell mount is done, waiting on few parts for plumbing

 

[baldduck74]

Seat mounts are 90% done still have to pull rear cross bar out and add some pins, 1 bolt holds each seat in to keep a lazy man honest, has 3 pins with R-clips. For rest makes for quick seat removal, I've 4 over rigs this way with no issues.

 

[baldduck74]

Waiting to finish out the ends of the bumper, he can't decide what he wants to do with bed sides yet, built some shackle mounts with recovery points integrated onto them.

 

[ridered3]

@baldduck74 pretty cool seat clip idea.

Got started on sheeting out the rear inner fenders. Still alot to figure out, I'm still amazed how some people make sheetmetal work look easy. Friend of my sons, bought any remaining steel off of a local shop a year or so ago, bought 6 sheets of 4'x10' 20 gauge for $20 a sheet, there is alot of waste metal in these. Local supplier priced him $300 for 4'x8'.

Inner fender is looking good and that’s a heck of a score for the sheets of metal.

 

[baldduck74]

Sheet metal work is done, and I can't it say enough those who are good at tin work earn their money, finally going to put tube in tomorrow on the passenger side then ready to weld it out.
Waiting on a fitting to get fuel lines ran
(Was some mis communications on size needed) so rear brake and fuel can be ran together. Hoping to have everything ready for Black mountain Memorial day weekend.

Havnt touched it since started helping with this, layoff put me on spending freeze. Start back to work Monday, with a new company. Big pay cut, but no layoffs, so money should equal out.

Understandable all around there.

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

why the rear seat bolt, but front quick pins

It has 3 pins now and one bolt.
When it's done, it will be sitting outside, alot, just a little bit to keep a lazy man honest, we have had stuff sprout legs and walk off around us

Fired up today, found out battery is junk, runs better than it did before Tj pump swap. One issue I didn't think of while gutting the Tj pressure regulator, was a anti drain back valve. I thought the eternals of that regulator had more going on!
It drove out of garage under its own power
