SuicidalPenguin Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Although i didn't post the buildup or pics of my bumpers (phase I) i will of phase II. This phase will be interior cage with bed drops, RCI buckets with 5-points and the 2" coil spacers. We started yesterday. We gutted the truck (except for dash) and i must say my floorboard is all surface rust . All we got done yesterday was bending up the main hoop for behind the seats, a crow blew up the transformer and we were without power for 3 hours. Took us awhile to wrap our heads around the math of bending, but in the end the hoop came out tighter to the body than we expected. Today will be a slow day, we are shooting for drilling holes in the cab for the bed drops. I'm also going to do the hard task of assembling the seats. I'll keep updating for progress but before any of you go on posting the "This thread is useless without pics" emoticon... i still use the classic camera with film. It makes me angry because some shots don't turn out, and i'm hoping all the ones i'll be taking will turn out. And i'll make sure that before I do phase III, i'll buy a digital camera. So don't expect pics for another 2 or 3 weeks (i know it sucks). Also, i'm going to go ahead with the 92+ cooling swap post cage. My dad's shop is about an hour and a half away from where i live. The gauge was running deep red at 120kmph. Something doesn't seem right with that... Any tips or questions you have, post em up. Kyle
pingpong Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 What size and type of tubing are you using to build your cage?
SuicidalPenguin Posted July 17, 2006 Author Posted July 17, 2006 1.75" 0.120 wall DOM for the main part, we have .095 coming in for some minor supports to save weight.
SuicidalPenguin Posted July 17, 2006 Author Posted July 17, 2006 just my dad's plain old manual bender. Can't remember the name of it. Edit: It's an M-Tech
SuicidalPenguin Posted August 16, 2006 Author Posted August 16, 2006 Alright, since i got rained out today i decided to upload some pictures.
SuicidalPenguin Posted August 16, 2006 Author Posted August 16, 2006 Damn codes and crap. I hate photobucket, it hates me.
feerocknok Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I like that you kept the air freshener. The thing looks BA, nice job. I especially like the front bumper!
SuicidalPenguin Posted August 16, 2006 Author Posted August 16, 2006 The Ford 9" i don't have money for The radiator i just pulled out yesterday
Bounty Hunter Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 POR15 the floor, goes on over rust after you scrape off all the loose stuff. Leaves a nice tough finish that'll nip the rust in the bud. Why all the web paranoia over having your license plates visible?
Guest Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I'm gonna mimic ur front bumper for mine if u don't mind
SuicidalPenguin Posted August 22, 2006 Author Posted August 22, 2006 I'm gonna mimic ur front bumper for mine if u don't mind Sure go ahead. It's not an original design or anything, just made it cause i've seen 2 roll outta a local shop that i liked.
