Toreadorranger Build...2 years in the making

[Toreadorranger]

Solid Body mounts almost all cut out. My bandsaw blade finally let go just as it finished one. So I need to pick up another blade to cut the last two. I built in a 1/2" "body lift" into the pucks so it gives me a little bit more clearance around the trans/tcase.

whats the advantage of solid body mounts? isnt it gonna transfer alot more vibration into the body and all that?

My cage is going to be solid mounted to the frame. If you leave the body on rubber mounts the cage can contact the body. But if you solid mount both. they "move as one"

That's a good idea. The only thing I could think of, the cab is going to want to flex less than the frame. But I think that would be more of an issue with a daily/ street driven truck.


I love the build!! I wish I had done my half doors more like that. Mine are cut out a bit more.
I showed a guy I work with the pics of your Maxim, and he likes it! He's coming up with ideas to do to his Maxim, haha. His is newer though.

Im caging from bumper to bumper, the frame isnt flexing much if at all.

I already have a IFS Toyota Steering box, but Im not sure if the rearward swing IFS box is going to work with my highsteer setup as the drag link may hit the tierod on compression. So I picked up a FJ60 box which is the same as a IFS box but has a 4th mounting hole and is a forward swing box. Ill hold on to both boxes untill I get there and see which I will use.

So not fair. By the time you get yours on however, I may have found one and already be running it.

Mind if I ask whatcha paid for the M90, I've got 2 M112's waiting for me for $300 a piece if I want them, less then 50k on either.

 

[Toreadorranger]

150 for the m90.

Not too shabby.....

The guy says it has a 120k on it but that it was rebuilt at one point or another. A rebuild kit is like 100 bucks, so Im not to worried about. It has all the intake and discharge tubes with it too, so thats nice.
