those actually havent been altered..those were the first one we did and havent modified em since...we altered the lowest bars that come into it (i.e the lower frame rails where flat belly pan will mount) we actually lowered the whole chassis like 9 inches cause didnt like the height but those 2 bars are the same.. hope that makes sense..

buckeyezuk · 01-12-2010, 08:55 AM

it looks different because after the first pic was taken we took it apart and shortened the lower tranny tunnel area, lowered the floor pan.which lowered the main frame rail and the area of that bend...

Size maybe (yes size matters). Maybe too big to allow for posting. Does it throw you a message when you try to post or anything?

I like the roof lines...

KargoMaster · 01-28-2010, 06:35 PM

Yes, some nice lines... and some wackiness that I like too... that tcase mount is interesting...

Extra roof and floor bars to keep the doors open, or just making fabrication easier for now?

yotakrawler · 01-28-2010, 06:49 PM

Looks good Humpy I like it !

Redriverranger · 01-28-2010, 08:58 PM

Your gonna have a hard time keeping those front tires aired up...and the rear suspension looks a little stiff...

LOL, looking good.

mckeddie · 01-28-2010, 10:17 PM

i love the lines of you chasis, the double b pillar, and the extra gusset running parralel with the rear down tubes (c pillar, whatever the hell its called). 1 question though, do you have a mid mount on the tranny or front tcase? seems like a long ways back to have your tcase mount from your motor mounts, with the torque of the dual cases, i'd be afraid of something wanting to twist in the middle? of course, i've never messed with toyota stuff, and maybe this si the normal way to mount them. looks sweet none the less, and i really like your rear mount. also, them are some nice looking tires.

i thought the same thing on the t case mount greg but i was doin some research over the summer looking for flat belly mounts in my truggy..found that front range makes and sells a crossmember kit just like this one...i made a program and machined one out just to try it on my truggy..ran it all summer and i think we have like 2 or 3 trucks runnin around now with the same setup...it works really well and actually on a truggy with stock motor mounts it stiffens everything up and keeps it from junkin motor mounts...and yes tires are sexy lol...wanna groove my new ones for me??
