nice, dude. That color is pretty sweet & i think even with a few runs & icicles you're still well above par for off road rigs. What're the deets on that blow-up? definitely looks like a bounce house at first glance. she a rental?

Starting to throw tubes again! Added a little X to the center section of my cab cage. Moving to re-investigate the suspension & steering system next - i think i have to relocate my radius arms & it's going to heckin' wreck the a-pillar kick. Also helped a friend hang his rancher bumper on a...

fusion360 for my quickie projects (also free for non-monetized use) My preference would be Siemens NX but it's not free.

And thank you very much for selling it to me, buddy :) But +1 to what Bodj suggested, if the thing I want cut is some nebulous shape I'll use CAD (Cardboard aided design), then scan it, then use fusion360 to draw on it & create the g-code for the crossfire then bam. the process isn't toooo much...

it was the smallest legally defined 2 car garage possible (20x22) with a ~5-6 ft sloped driveway right in front of it. definitely made it work & was happy to have it for the ~9 years I lived there. But a real shop with a lift has been on my brain for long time & this weekend i put my old truck...

so this trip is dead, right?

for the hell of it, since it's my thread.... i went down memory lane circa 2018 to find a picture of my old bumpside in the Torrance garage where I finished that thing. The pallet rack behind the truck in this picture is the same one as the rack behind the red truck in the previous image. to...

passed final inspection! Started moving stuff in & getting a feel for layout. gotta work up some more storage & organization solutions. I have one small pallet rack / shelving thing leftover from when I lived in Torrance and it's laughably small relative to how much space it used up in my old...

+1 i just use the RTIC straps through the loops near the handle ropes. They're cheap & on amazon. amazon link

love seeing more f100 prerunner builds, thanks for posting this up!

so... the first thing to know is that versatube subcontracts out the siding & the insulation. so you basically end up with ~3 shipments of stuff & you're going to end up getting phone calls from businesses you've never heard of asking you about deliveries & things. That's more annoying than a...

Floors sealed rough electrical inspection today Lift acquired - been advised not to install that until the inspectors give us the final & walk off. Baseboards coming soon. Nearly move-in time & back to being a prerunner guy.

I think by the time you factor in the steering it is probably exactly the same number of moving parts, to be honest. But that said - im fully in support of being weird just for the sake of it. Go for it.

coming soon: electrical, polished & sealed floors, shorty 2-post lift. then: prelander.

even more. I subcontracted out only a few of the trades. The concrete & the drywall & the garage doors. the rest of the project was pulled of by me & my friends. learned a bunch along the way, but happy to be on the other side of this thing.
