The Dark side is calling /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

Cops don't care about 4x4's out here for some reason, TJ let me take it for a spin and I saw a Police car going the other direction and he never even gave us a 2nd look. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Man I love Colorado.

I must thank TJ for helping me not be the ugliest one on the trail. Oh, not his rig, just TJ...

Looks like he eliminated the core support issolators. How is it attached in the front? If the body is still issolated and front hard mounted, there may be problems. But I doubt that is the case...

I don't believe a stock radiator would fit in there. What did he use?

Nice tool box behind the cab. I'm working on a "trunk" for the truggy now (thanks Matt! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif)

What's holding the hood? Dzus? Got hinges?

Looks like the same "headlights" I was considering...

That blue box the fuel cell? Home made? Capacity?

Nice work on the inner fenders. Looks clean... 18-20 ga. sheet steel?

All in all, I like it. My only reservation is the low rockers. I've got to spend some effort on looks as soon as the current round of functional mods is done...

that thing is sweet /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif hard to believe it used to be a blazer /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Is this "stop by the headquarters and get your picture taken" month? Can I make an appointment? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Stop on by James. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
Also, were going weeling on Sunday if your ride is fixed.

I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm I have a 74 blazer frame I could lay my hands on. Dep has a cab he want's out of his yard. Keith has axles for sale. Hmmmmm mHMmmmmm Hmmmmmm

Wife would kill me and I don't need another truck.

Cool I think the funny part is he still has the chrome drim that goes around the back side and the sides of the cab atleast it helps me figure out ABOUT what year cab it is /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
BTW steve do your neighbors hate you?

That is exactly what I was thinking. Not that I have EVER done anything like that. /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Can any photchop this into a crew cab. This is real close to what I have been picturing for my project. I like it. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Quick and crap, but I'm kind of busy right now (doing nothing /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif)

Here (Won't Let Me Embed It In The Post For Some Reason) (http://www.unitseven.com/images/other/X/fuggy3.jpeg)

That's a cool truck, but its VERY freaky (to me anyhow) how it looks exactly like mine (cab). Mine will end up like that after I shorten the wheelbase down, except I'll have the front clip, heh.... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That was part of the deal. If I was going to spend that much time working on something I would not even get to wheel with then he had to keep the chrome /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gifThanks. That is about what I was looking for.

/forums/images/graemlins/crewcab.gif /forums/images/graemlins/burb.gif

so what's the deal, tim?? are you open up for business??
i have some ideas for the rear/front of my k5 that we need to talk about.. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

thats to damn cool! when i see pics of these things it always makes me re-think the desicion to send the blazer to the jnk yard. i think i may just scrap the body of it and keep the rolling chassies..and near me there is a 78 chevy 3/4 to rollng truck, no engine/trans/t-case... /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

Pretty bad ass.... /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif When i saw the pics of the front, for some reason a Suzuki Samuri popped in my head /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the props /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif If I hadent rolled it in 2002 it would have never looked like this ,, And actually it' undergone a few changes since then:

Redid the rear tube (hit the tires every time I flexed) :

As you can see I tried the 3/4 eliptic setup which works ok , but Im still going to link her up this fall.

And one if the better thing (in my opinion) was the behind the axle hi-steer, I still need to gusset the axle.. :

Oh well I dont think this thing will ever be done ,, but oh well it keeps me out of truble /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Is that chrome under that black paint on that D60 diff cover? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif i still think that chrome cover is why you rolled it in the first place. Looks great. Has come a long way since the last time I saw it when i helped you paint the frame at Tims shop. Looks like alot of fun.

I just got my new digi-cam a week ago so I don't have any pic's of it in action, but we tested it out on a nasty trail here in CO. and I can get about 15" of droop out of them, but I think Marv is rite about them being too long. The buggy spring bends more than the main spring.

Also I had to put a limit strap in the middle of the 14b up to the frame. When I first put them on (without shocks) I wanted to check for "unloading" and power braked it and to my suprize it lifted up about 20" like a stinkbug ready to sqirt, It got better with the shocks but still had to limit strap it and now it only goes up about an inch with no wheel hop.

Having done this, although it works I still think im going to link it up and do either coilovers or coils.

Looking good TJ! Maybe one of these days I'll get to see it in action.
Thanks for the pic.s Steve. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Nice rig man, good to see it made it out! I remember just lookin at it in the early stages in Tim's garage when I was out there last. Great job!

I really gotta get out there to CO for some wheelin sometime.
