Quote Will you be running coilovers instead of struts? (i ask because teh struts look like they'll go up past the bed-line) no I'm not going to use those ones ... I just wanted to see , I am going to get some coilovers . Quote just curious but what do you think your estimated weight will be? Im gonna guess at 2700? i'm guestimating from a 4x4 wieght tho...meh with that kinda torque and HP i guess it really doesn't matter, only traction and spares. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> yes .. traction is going to be the issue .. I'm hopping on the weight in around the 2500 area .. interior has been gutted , and wont be putting heater back in .. Interior is going all custom fiberglass .. and I'm even contemplating a fiberglass , hardtop convertable .. and exterior skin is all glass as well . 86 4x4 , fiberglass bed , 1/2 doors , hood, etc.. 84 Custom 2WD 400HP supra suspension , full frame 83 Trekker SR5 NEW Trekker forum Re: 2WD project [Re: CJM] #645741 07/13/07 01:48 AM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,856 Penticton BC CJM OP Body Damage is Cool a little more progress today .. fit the "mock-up" engine in , and cut up the firewall .. got the tranny in as well .. few issues , but it will only be time . 86 4x4 , fiberglass bed , 1/2 doors , hood, etc.. 84 Custom 2WD 400HP supra suspension , full frame 83 Trekker SR5 NEW Trekker forum Re: 2WD project [Re: CJM] #645742 07/13/07 09:42 AM Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 138 Perth, Western Australia rustylux Wheeler Are you going to road register that truck after all that work? How do you think you'll go getting a custom frame like that licensed? Over here where i live you'd have a snowball's chance in hell getting that past the pits unless you had a team of engineers look over it. Looks sick though.
