Okay, Josh (and all that follow this thread), I need ya'll to dig through your scrap pile of tubing if ya'll would...I'm needing 2 small pieces of tubing, one 1.75" OD .250 wall, 4" long (or two 2" long pieces) and one 4" piece of 2" OD .250 wall (or two 2" long pieces) I can't seem to find anyone that would cut just those pieces so I can make a set of bushings...I have the urethane bushings, just need the sleeves..Can anyone help a fellow TRS'er

Jokes on you! That didn't even work.....

Tube bed FTW

 

[RangerSVT]

I hope the scrap sheet metal you have is not the one that was supposed to be on the truck....

Thats why you have a street truck. One for the street, one for the trails.

2wd is gone. I have my 68 and this. 68 doesn't get driven in the winter

I still haven't decided for sure. I always go around most of the tight stuff because its too big to fit (that's what i tell the ladies too ) so i may just do that, or throw an exo and tons like originally planned, or just LS this one, and build another beater. I don't want to start all over from scratch though. You can find a pretty capable RBV with a SAS already done for 3-4 grand. There are 2 explorers on this site that are for sale that already have SAS.

No, its scrap from a 78 GMC that a buddy turned into a wheeler. I just used some metal for the hole in the bed.
