While I agree with you, its because you should leave the toy shit in you truck so it can all go to the scrapper in one shitty pile. Not two of them.

To the OP. I have a rear tub section you can have if you can get it. Its got the sides with the fenders is pretty straight and rust free. What it doesnt have is the top rails that the top would have snapped to, I saved those on my buggy. Looking at it now though I could have replicated them out of angle iron more easily than working with the sheet metal. I also have a good tailgate if you want that too (tailgate not free though).

Nissanheathan knows I'm joking, it has turned out sick! Looks way better in person. Can't wait to hit the trails!!!

[nissanheathen]

okay "shit talkers" more updates...

orbital valve mounted



the start of my ram mount...




front shocks done....hood and other little stuff





need to finish my brakes up, drive shafts, lights etc....

hopefully go on a shakedown run sometime next week

[nissanheathen]

well my orbital valve had a crack in the spool where the splines are so i had to get a new one....should be here tomorrow i hope



i got her started and running good besides the orbital so i decided to get the rear end somewhat finished up for zuki melt next week

got the rear side panels from a buddies rusty samurai...i will add new pieces of sheet metal over the top, i just mainly wanted the body line/main ridge at the top







got a few more things to finish up...should have some shakedown run pics soon

[toyoturd]

looks better with the rear skinned

[nissanheathen]

yea i think so too....if i could do it over again i would redo the bars coming down to the back but id really like to just cut the entire ass end of and 4 link it.....oh well im gonna try and go wheeling here later today but its hard to have motivation to finish up a few things when its 105 deg out !!!

[toyoturd]

ya i need back seat room so ill have a tube around the tub on the inside just inside lip and tie cage to that and i wanna stretch body 10-12" cant find a cheap tub here in portland only seattle area they give em away

[RockRogue]

Big 'ol sami... What is the WB? I like the direction this is going. And nice work on the tube. I like the miter detail on your ram support.

[nissanheathen]

thanks man...i cant remember like 102ish....

[nissanheathen]

well i finally made it out to the trails on sunday....after changing my fucking water pump three different times....(had a early 80s motor with a double roller chain...trying to use a mid 80s single roller water pump...they both fit but cast different like some of the other parts on the double roller motors....)

didnt take very many pictures ....was too busy using the bad ass steering



I had the alternator wired wrong so it kept dying on me....and yes unfortunately my buddys jeep had to jump me
