Toreadorranger Build...2 years in the making

[zachis4wheeling]

I have bendtech software, so Im hoping that once I get it all built in bendtech I can share the file so that others can reproduce it if they wanted.

Where'd you pick up the bendtech software at?

From keith at http://www.chopworx.com, I bought my bender and bendtech from him.

Sliders are done.

These came a few days ago.

Im also not looking forward to dealing with this.

I made a heater box block off plate. I took the heat and AC off the truck and doing so left a huge hole in the firewall. I have a 4x8' sheet of 1/8" so I used some of that. It needs 2 more bolts on the far right, the other four are in existing spots.

I removed the stock seat mount bracket that is spot welded to the floor. That left like 20 little holes I had to weld up.

The rain held off for today so I was able to deal with my transfer case clearance problem.

Started by cutting a nice big old hole in the floor.

I then jacked the back of the trans up as much as possible with out hitting the rest of the trans tunnel. Im just shy of a flat belly on the truck. To get the extra inch I would need I would have to do some really major surgery on the trans tunnel which isnt really worth it.

Next I started patching the floor back up. I used the peices I cut out, just flipped them over. I ran out of gas for my welder at this point so tomorrow Im going to get a refill and if its not raining continue and if it is Im going to work on my half door.

I'd do the extra work to flat belly it. You've got it torn down already, and whats another 2 years to get a flat belly

I would need to cut out the whole trans tunnel. Its alot more work then I really want to do. My skid plate is going to be flat with two small bump outs for the tcase and doubler. They will only hang down about an inch and arent that big. It will be pretty much a flat belly.

Worked on my half door a little bit today.
