I picked up Chassis #38 From Vortec_Cruiser today. Thanks again

I pretty much have all the parts on my current ride. But I'm sure a lot of new stuff will come up.

Heres my old rig, soon to be the parts truck.

The new doner truck I got from a friend. Thanks Adam!

And the Hendrix Chassis.

Vortec_Cruiser · 05-06-2006, 08:40 PM

Hey, that looks like my chassis... Oh, that's right, I sold it this morning.

But it did get a good home. For me, the bright side to this story is that I will be ordering a new Formula Four chassis this week.

desertoy · 05-07-2006, 07:09 PM

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it.

Desertoy,
Yeah, I plan to post the build. It's going to be a bit of a slow start. I'm going on one more trip with the old rig Memorial day weekend.

Vortec_Cruiser had it outside for a while near Loma Linda (I think). He primed it to keep it from rusting.
It'll never rust here in Tucson.

Hey, where did the pics go?

Dunno, I see em.

Some of the easy stuff is done, everything is off the frame. That cab was a bitch to get off by myself.
If anyone wants any of that stuff, come and get it, otherwise it's going to the dump this weekend. The motor is a 20r and doesen't run, but its free.

krazytoy · 05-12-2006, 07:57 AM

Hey I thought that green piece of s*@t in the background was getting chopped and extended?? Anyway nice to see your stepping it up to a f-toy. You gonna compete with this?

yodamankp · 05-12-2006, 04:10 PM

Sweet build man. I've been thinking of going that rout myself.

I take it you know Jody. He's been talking about chopping that thing and extending it for while. What do you want to bet that I'll be done with this F-toy first?

I'm sure I'll make a few comps. I would say anything (F-toy) within about a 10hr drive. I'm hoping (like every one else here) that this Formuls Toy thing takes off. I can't see why more people won't jump on board when they see how cheap they can compete, and have a lot of fun.

I just dig the formula toy builds. I hope to be able to start one pretty soon.

krazytoy · 05-15-2006, 07:23 AM

Yes, I know Jody and I know you. Think of ATS Southwest. I saw your old truck when you first bought it! I talked to Yoda the other day and he told me that he had already started chopping his heep..... Funny some things never change. Good luck with the F-Toy looks like it is going to be fun! I just started on the sheetmetal with my buggy, it's a pain, well not really just time consumeing. Think ahead when you are starting yours, I did alot of figureing before I started just to make the sheetmetal easy. Plan ahead it will make life easy in the future. Good Luck, Jason

Roktoyz · 05-16-2006, 04:15 PM

PLAN ON DOING A X-CHASSIS MYSELF IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IF YOU NEED A HAND LET ME KNOW I'D LOVE TO CHECK IT OUT

Yeah, I'll let you know when I get started building anything. I'm still tearing down doner rigs.

What are you driving now?

Roktoyz · 05-17-2006, 10:41 AM

Got A 84 X-cab All Chopped & Exo'd, But I've Already Started Tearing The Drivetrain Out & All The Parts I'm Using For The X-chassis, So If You Need Parts Let Me Know I'm Happy To Donate To A Good Cause. I Just Moved Here From Phx A Little While Ago. Been Looking To Meet Some Fellow Yota Wheelin Bros. I've Got A Plasma Etc.... I'd Like To Help Out In Any Way I Can. If You Need A Hand Tearing Shit Down, I've Been Doing Plenty Of That Myself, Let Me Know.

azyota · 05-20-2006, 05:18 PM

I got started tearing down my trail rig. It's almost kinda hard to do. I got a lot of work in this thing.
Kinda forgot how long the entire motor, bellhousing, tranny, range box, adaptor, T-case assy is. If your going to yank it out as one piece, make sure your cherry picker can lift it high enough. It's a real bitch to try to reposition after it's off the mounts.

My garage is starting to look like a junkyard....

Is this rats nest really necessary? Down the road a ways I'll be looking for some advise as to what I can get rid of.

Nissan Recovery Team · 05-20-2006, 05:41 PM

If you get the GM one wire alt. you can cut the wires down on the 22r to 3 IIRC, there is a nice thread on it in the truck forum.

hugh jeffner · 05-20-2006, 06:50 PM

what happened to waiting until after memorial day weekend. the ants in your pants get the best of you???

give me a call if i can come and watch you work, while i drink beer...........i mean help.

I had to bail out on the trip. Between starting a new job a couple weeks ago, buying the F-toy chassis and going to get it, being out of town for work reasons. I just have too much going on, and a little short on funds.

And, I want to get going on this. I'm going to try to make the September event in So-Cal. Sept seems like a long ways off, but the time willl go by quick.

If I can get it done, I'll be looking for a spotter!!!
