Fat City Pre-Runner build

Looks super pimp! :greensmok

How thick is that frame material where you're welding on the upper control arm mounting tabs? Would suck to rip those off.


Great point. The frame looks to be 1/8" which does'nt worry me much, but I backed the mounts up just to be safe.

Still waitin on thsose shocks... So I did a couple thing that need to get done, but were being put off because I hate drilling. Ran a 3/4" bit thru the stock steering idler arm (which sucked bad...)
And mounted the new battery box and Optima.

That last pic is making me thirsty! Ever need a helper on a project like that, I'm you're go-to-guy! Looking good Eric where do you plan on "testing" er out at?
 
Right on, if it's a day I wasn't working I'd like to shoot down and check out the action if you wouldn't mind. Who knows maybe that thing would be able to keep up with the jeep? :)
 
I have a feeling this thing is going to put the jeep to shame, lol. I'd love to build an f150, but I don't have the $ to pull it off... which is why i have a jeep :D

False statement Grimm! And F1 can be built on a budget!!!
 
Bunch of comedians in here.:laugh3:

Since I'm f'd on shock's for now, I'm going to have some more plates cut to do the front shock hoops similar to the rear, so now I have some time to spare...

I got the E-locker installed in the front housing and plan to get it slammed back in this weekend. Also started putting the CV's on the axles and hope to have everything but mounting shocks done this weekend.

I was playing with the CV misalignment and was surprised by just how much more the 930 has over the factory stuff. (I know, I know. the red is super gay and going away...)

I dig the red..... Looking effin rad! Wanna trade for my Bronco?
 
Sick build so far. I dig the fact that it's really an all purpose vehicle but should be super fast in the bimps. I'm loving the Jeep but I can see outgrowing it into something like this or Tony's Bronco. Maybe I should do a Pre-runner Blazer to put a little Chevy blood into the mix with you guys :)
