are you the guy i sold the safari bar to???

 

yea, josh bent it pulling me out of the mud lol. now sitting on 285/75/16 on stockers still. need a little help fig you could give some advise.

 

updates!!! finally finished the cage(i think) and got the bed set back on the truck for some fitment tests.





still workin on the seat brackets, they will look a lot better when finished



i dont have to cut the door panels!!!





Im going to try to have the interior all painted up and have all the body work done sometime next week... I really want to see a fresh paint job on it!!!

 

i like the idea on the filler neck i might have to buy one of those from Jegs or something, i havent figured out how im going to fill up in my lifted piece

the rest looks good..welds are good to man..great job!

 

looks great Nick!

 

Looks pretty good Nick, glad to see some progress on it!!!!!

 

That filler neck is a good idea! Looks great!

 

too bad there isnt going to be half of it left once im done cutting on it!

 

Lookin good man

 

ok, i spent all day yesterday trying to prep the interior for painting(took about 10 hours). the butyl adhesive that holds the windshield in sucked to get out since the windshield has been replaced twice in my truck, there were 3 layers of the crap so it took a lot to get it all off...... The bars all had to be cleaned, sanded, primed, and i had to seam seal some stuff that ford missed when they assembled the truck. I had to finish gutting the doors and getting everything taped off. I ran out of paint, so there is only one coat on everything(some things didnt get any paint yet), but it still looks better than bare metal....

 

Looks awesome!

 

Bad **** as ever

 

dang Nick, that is some serious work!

 

 

body work look good

 

thanks!

The body work isnt finished on the roll pan. I am going to try to finish all the body work and maybe get some paint on the bed today.

 

looks good dude. so does that cage, im jelous

 

Nice nick! wish I could come see it.

 

Here is today's accomplishments. I had to fill and block the roll pan 4 times to get it even remotely close to the bed, then it took me almost 2 hours to get the booth cleaned out and ready to use because I havent done anything with it but store crap in it for about 4 months!!!









If things go well tomorrow, I just might find some time to sneak to the shop to get more done! We will see!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

 

I think you should.

 

Nice work. This thing's gonna be awesome!

 

I sure hope so!!!


None of the pictures show how much work all of this really is! Im sure if any of you have ever done body work, you know what it takes to get a pan flushed in!!!

Thank you to everyone for the compliments!!!

 

there's that damn screwdriver i was lookin for!

 

lol its always in the last place you look and wow that truck has come along way and it looks awesome

 

Gah i so wish you lived near Southern California Nick.... haha the things i would do to see that beast when its done and in action!
