deward Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I originally built this box stock back in 2007. here it is originally I robbed the tires off of it a few years ago for a jeep build. So today I decided i would bring it back out and rebuild it into a trail truck/pre runner. I've got tires and more .080 rod coming in to finish up the cage. This should be a quick build, unless I decide to go crazy on it. here is the stripped chassis and cab. start of the rear cage work the bed sides will be removable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deward Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Worked on this some more today. Like I said "quick" build. I got the rear cage almost finished up, I have to add the shock mounts and figure out where I want the fuel cell. I also got the three link set up for the rear axle figured out, except the last bar and won't know how long to make it until I get the shocks roughly in place.

deward Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 got some more done on this the last few nights. Added some more to the cage I built a fuel cell and added shock mounts to the cage before I painted it. I might add a spare tire mount and a place for some fuel cans. I have not decided yet. Here are the shocks and the rear axle mounted. I still need to make the 3rd link to finish up the suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deward Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 thanks guys! I've finished up everything that I wanted to do but I am still waiting on tires so I will probably add fuel and brake lines. I will weather it more once the tires come in. I added a brush guard to the front, skid plate, and added gas cans and a fire extinguisher. I will probably build a jack and add a winch to the front.

FASTBACK340 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Awesome fabrication of the suspension and cage. Very nice work! Having owned a Baja Bug when I was younger I had a limited familiarity with off-roading and your truck has the look. Nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
