Central Wyoming 4x4

This was my toy as it was a year ago. Sitting on 38's, toy axles, and leaf spring suspension. It was time for a new direction for the toy. Now i did start this build a year ago and have made quite a bit of progress. I've got quite a few pictures so bear with me on getting them posted.

Started off gutting the interior out and getting rid of the old dash. need to build a roll cage thats gonna fit nicely and clear my head being as tall as i am.

After i got all the interior gutted. now came the time to chop the top. i will admit after i made the first cut i teared up a little bit.:( Ive had this truck for ten years now. I dont think it was weird.  So chopped the top and pulled that flat bed and started to bend some tube.

once i got to this point with the cage i decided to do my bpillar differently than just on continous tube with multiple bends and just use three tubes with single bends and make it more boxy looking. Then added a kind of visor and cross bar along with a dash bar and harness bar behind the seats.

You aint that dang tall, quit trying to act all big and bad haha

Build looks good, get the rest of the pictures up brotha!!!

i then decided to wrestle the ungodly heavy dana 60 front axle under the truck. this is quite a chore all by yourself. but setting on my creeeper and rolling it into position helped a bunch. good thing to know if i ever hit the 500 pound mark my creeper will still roll. kinda!!

then it was time to tackle the rear. pulled the old axles out started to figure out where to cut.

even got my lil brother in on the action. he doesnt know much about building a rock crawler. but he know how to grind though

Then now it was time to start bending and getting things lined up.

found the hard part with the rear and how i did it was trying to keep everything square and level.

So there's some more for yea now chevota. ill get some more pics up again. the truck a lot further along than this.

keep it coming man, i have seen some of these before but i still love this build!!
