I understand both aspects of the restoration v. the customization.
The purest of pures stick to the restoration and that is respectable.
I have no issue with someone modifying their vehicle for whatever use they see fit.
Afterall, it is their property.
They can do a total body off restoration or...
I would try pull more than I pushed with it. As far as an exact number, I have no idea. I have pulled full sizes school buses and up rooted damaged trees from the ground. I have not tried to push hardly just a few stalled vehicle stuck directly on the roadways. I have reached the conclusion...
I added my prototype .50 caliber to the roof.
Changed oil and started working on my own doors.
That is the prototype, I have two more with improvements.
The prop M2 adds a lot of wow factor to my truck.
The hardtop doesnt looks seated completely. I cant tell from the pictures but, are there any gaps between the hardtop and the pillars?
It may just take some weight to pull the hardtop edges down to see if they slide in place.
I can see the original rail screw mounts, about the same distance...
Thank you, that was the prototype, the second and third are much better.
It is to scale, I found dimensions and built it. Honestly, I was worried about putting too much detail into it at first.
I didnt want a swat team rolling up to my house or some nervous cop plugging me on traffic.
A...
My light bar is not a driving light its an 911E or EP arrow stick but, it does not get in the way when I had the windshield folded down. It is only an inch or inch and a half deep and I believe you can order any color and color combo you like. Patterns are built right into the light but you...
Hello Folks,
What do you think of my new prop?
I have made three of these, the one on my truck is the prototype.
The two newer, what I call Generation 2 and Generation 3 have improvements.
The local cops loved it and I think, if I would have had one a couple of weeks ago.
I would have cracked...
Here is the rear door. There is another smaller door on the passenger side above the wheel well.
Yes, the exhaust extension I fabricated uses the original tail pipe, extended it out of the body and wheel well.
Then up and away from the vehicle. If the tire compressed the shocks to that point...
This is what I did with my truck.
Same thought as you, such a flat face and open for immediate contact with a fury covered mammal.
I wanted one of the USMC style bumpers but, couldnt afford one.
So, I fabricated my own. Measured it down to keep the wheels exposed, deep enough to tilt the...
I second that, I sold the cargo cover, doors, soft top, tailgate and fabricated my own wagon style hardtop and rear to enclose everything.
Making it yourself is a lot of work, fun but a lot of work and extremely cheaper than buying something.
I made my extended hardtop for about 600 bucks...
Somewhat off topic but, save yourself some money and trouble if replacing rifle mounts.
Go to the local hardware store and hit the garage / tool organization section.
You will be surprised and happy to find the exact same rifle mounts titled as rake / broom holders for $2.99 a piece.
It...
Nope, I did as little modification as possible to the truck itself. I adjusted the hard top to fit the truck. Seven pieces overall, three center plates, A-B, B-C, C-D. Then fill plates full length left and right of the center plates to the edge of the frames. Pieces 7 and 8 were the edges...
It does flex but not as much, still plenty of twisting and front to back movement. The hardtop just gave it more rigidity with far less noise. The rattles, clinks, squeaks and small slight vibrations are greatly reduced. The top and frame work are just bolted and glued on, well glue in spots...
I dont have doors on my rig currently, it is finally nice outside and I am loving the natural air conditioning.
Now, as far as top meeting the top of the doors, It is high enough to allow the doors to fully and freely swing. There is a gap between the top and the pillars as well as the doors...
That is what, I tried. On my other frequently visited forum, you can use an external site to copy the image source and paste them into a response and only the image appears. Here it operates differently and throws me off. When, I visit the other forum I end up mixing them up and posted dead...
