:P dont wanna build a cage then get told to fuck off on race day!

New plans ive just made, im gonna dovetail the front while i wait for a few bits to be made up for the suspension to try out for my mates shop. Gonna do a tube frame under all that and fuck off the rad support panel and make that out of tube too now i have a bender

Beattie · 06-07-2010, 12:50 AM

Disastrous things happen when i get bored :roll:

I still gotta make tabs and brackets for everything to hang off the new 'frame'. Its all just sitting there atm. Ill do that next weekend

kling-on · 06-07-2010, 05:13 AM

That looks super sick

brokenparts · 06-07-2010, 08:29 AM

interesting... very interesting.

I like it!

Beattie · 06-20-2010, 05:25 AM

Well its getting close now. I need a new bonnet coz i cut this one wrong as you can see... That and it has a dirty big hole in it. Made a 3mm flat bar frame for just the bonnet skin to sit on and just finnished off welding and bracketing everything. Suspension getting a fresg up next weekend!

OnTheSpot · 06-20-2010, 01:57 PM

I'm diggin' the chop

Beattie · 06-27-2010, 03:50 AM

Well i started the cage today. Im kinda happy with the A pillars, still gonna change them a little as they sit nice and close to the body shell everywhere but the stretch at the windscreen has a bit of a gap to the pillar.

Bending pipe is fun :shock:

benjamont · 06-28-2010, 07:36 PM

Mannnnn, making my desire for fj60 go insane. I love the FJ "oh shit bar" across the glove box. Great build keep it up.

kling-on · 06-28-2010, 08:23 PM

Lookin good

carslut · 06-30-2010, 02:50 PM

looks great

Beattie · 07-25-2010, 02:45 AM

Well a bit more progress. I moved to a new place where i could work at home on it insted of 100km into the bush at my parents. Got a bit more of the cage done and binned the roof. I was gonna keep the lid on it but i bent the main hoop about 10cm too wide so took to it with the grinder, always wanted a convertible anyway. Gonna do another rear halo section too.

kling-on · 07-25-2010, 07:11 AM

Lookin good... Make sure you remove all the glass and stuff from the doors too... I was shocked at how much better mine climbed with out all of the whgt of the roof and glass

Yup already done! Everything thats not needed is in the bin. I had a cunning plan last night too. Thinking of getting some 2-3mm wall C section as a 'cap' for the top of the B pillar back to the tail lights. To act as a kind of slider and to make the chop look tidier. Planning on welding the rear doors shut, only the gas tank is in there anyway.

r0nin89 · 07-25-2010, 05:35 PM

Cool truck. Loved the thing not doved but progress gets made and things change.

What kind of paint did you use? I've heard of good results of brushing/rolling on enamel paint. Good texture and super resistant.

RustyNailJustin · 07-25-2010, 06:00 PM

Man that thing is the bomb! Cool truck Chris

Beattie · 09-07-2010, 02:17 AM

Ok bit more of an update. Ive done a little more since but dont have the net at my new house so its been hard to upload pics.

Done a shackle reversal on the front with longer 75ser leaves and 75ser leaves in the back too. cage is finnished and done a few more bits. The biggest 4wd comp in my state is on this weekend and im it so heres hoping it all stays in one peice!

iancj7 · 09-07-2010, 02:51 AM

starting to look the part mate, nice job..... not much left of the old toyota

Z()LTAN · 09-07-2010, 07:48 AM

wow man that cage came up really good!

Top work!

Beattie · 09-14-2010, 02:06 AM

What a top weekend of wheeling! Broke 2 CVs and the front drive shaft about 3 times but with alot of help from Tom (Zoltan) i got back out there and finnished a few stages and even managed to flop it!

Just need to sort out that front shaft issue and put some better CVs in there and she should be sweet!

kling-on · 09-14-2010, 04:43 AM

Sweet work looksgreat

Beattie · 04-07-2011, 03:30 AM

Just a quick update. Finally got a couple more pics of it from the comp last year and started to expand the cage a bit more. Ive also moved the diff around and repaired a few things. STILL having front propshaft issues, I just cant get the uni on the diff end to clear! Making a CV (like off a ifs rig driveshaft) shaft up to see how that goes.

cruizakid · 06-28-2011, 10:06 PM

awesome 60 mate
