I started building a new buggy forBLT2ROK today. We removed all the parts not needed and hopefully will start bending tubes tommorrow. check in a see the progress. sorry about the sammy it's in pcs but it will be nice when done.http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0030.jpghttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0032.jpghttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0025.jpg

is that a toyota rear in the picture or are those wheel adapters

Chop Chop......

Love that B&M shifter handle....gonna come in handy for power shiftin:D

yes it has toyota front and rear

Looks good Nathan I cant wait to get it back. It didnt look that dirty when i brought it up there.

It has toy axles 5.29 gears welded rear arb front , 30 spline longs stations hydro steering. It will have front and rear 4 links with fox air shocks and 38 sxs and some tube work.:flipoff2:

DAMN It was robbed...LOL Looks naked. I cant wait to see this build.

Well we finished up the removal of all the junk and the framehttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0046.jpgNow we got to the fun part bending tubes. We started the main cage and dash.http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0054.jpgThen we moved on to the reinforcing the top.http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0052.jpghopefully more tommorow.

That looks good. You do nice work.
I owe matt a roll over, so I'll test it out.
Keep up the pics.

Looking good. Man I didnt realize it was that dirty I would have cleaned it better.

Aron i realy didnt roll yours it was kinda just a flop and I think you trained it to do that because ti was always on tis side.:flipoff2:

That thing was so nasty it took an hour to find the frame under all that mud. Then you start cutting and dirt comes out of everywhere but no big deal just add a little to that bill. ha ha. almost finished with the front have new pics tommorrow. any luck on the parts we talked about?

Thats Alabama mud in there it's just finding it's way home.

I haven't checked on the parts yet maybe tomarrow.

We just about got things all done today but it looks like it should be finished sat.http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0061.jpghttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0057.jpghttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0056.jpgI hope you like what you see only a few more things to do. I'm going to leave the rear shock mounts off I have them cut and mitered to fit but I thought that you would mount them were you wanted. Also have not made the mount for the fuel cell thought you might want to do that or just tell me were you want it and I will mount it.

im basically following this build because this is exactly what i have in mind of building. I just bought 120 feet of tubing and am about to get started. im not going to use quite as much in the front but does 120 ft seem like it will be enough if i get all my bends right the first time around? also ive been looking at running 2x4 box at a 45 for my sliders but what exactly are u using? what dimension do you have in a horizontal plane from were the stock frame is cut to the back of the rear hoop? also any pointers before i try to tackle this myself? thanks killer work

I started with 200 feet of tubing and so far I have used about 170 and I still have a few bars to make. about the 2x4, laying it on a 45 would look good it will be a pain to fit all your tube ends on a 45 or even having to cope them to fit on the corner of the tube. as for the rocksliders we bent a pcs of .125 plate to make a slider a little different than any thing i that i have seen. Most people use 2x4 and that's fine but I just wanted something different. From the rear of the frame to the new bar is 48" strait back.

Keep them coming, your doing what I've been thinking of lately. Very close but dropping the seat area. Keep feeding us ideas. :cool2:

Finished the chassie on monday but didn't get a chance to get pics up sorry also how much for the left over springs and other parts?http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0064.jpghttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/customfabboy/100_0063.jpg

Also looks like you have alot of shells laying around....

Ita gettin 4 linked and air shocks when it gets home.

I really like the lines of the new tail. Nice work

Nice work.

I wish I was talented... but no, I'm just a loser :( lol j/k looks good, I'm jealous

Just got back from picking up my truck. And once again Nathan does great work if you are thinking about tubeing yours he is well worth the drive. If only he would have cleaned the dirt off before i came.:flipoff2: hopefully I will keep this tread updated with some progress pics.

Thanks again to natthan and also suk35 (Aron) for taking a ride up there with me.:flipoff2:

Hey...looks like you've been BUSY! Lookin' good. Post up some finished product pics!

He has been getting some work done on it. Unfortunately he spent all his money on air shocks, 4links, hydraulic steering, ydaa ydaa. He can't afford a red star.:flipoff2:

Nice looking lines.

updades?

We have the rear 4 link done and are getting ready to do the front in a couple of weeks got kinda stalled with my new house but will start up again soon.

I saw this Sami at Disney this weekend and sure liked it. He broke a knuckle and carried the broken part on back. Hey, it a stock frame and drive train:

The other side:

Really diggin the front clip and how you matched the lines of the hood....whish my junk looked that nice!

It's good to see that you are getting to work on the buggy it looks really good when you get done we need to go riding somewhere. thanks for the update.

Any finished pix? A bunch of 44" tire Alabama boys run Poteau, Oklahoma Thanksgiving weekend, any of you guys coming? It's very hardcore stuff.:smokin:

craptacular had some pics but I don't see them any more. I was in clayton a couple of weeks ago had a great time only problem i had was an alternator but slim hooked me up with a new gm one.

Darn, I'll be wheelin" Clayton this weekend. Sorry to have missed you, but I wheel Clayton often and am sure we'll hook up some day. Can't help but love that Slim for all he does for us wheelers.:smokin:

Slim kicked ass I left out of his shop with an automotive lift minus the rams for $50. I will be back to clayton sometime next year it was easily the best place i have wheeled yet. I'm trying to get aaron to go but it looks like he will be working until some time next year.

I wheeled with Aron at Gilmer. Tell him Clayton is 10 times better or TX-Zuki or Hardline43 will.:smokin:
