P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[Delton]

Did you at least cut a groove with a cutting wheel?

Yes

Back together and sitting pretty. Both axles looked good only minor pitting on pass side. Fresh grease and new boots. That rearend is tight as hell. (Just the way i like it).

Both knuckles packed full of grease.

Carrier is painted and installed along with additional lighting. Now if i only had a pair of 2' whips to mount on it....

I like it.

I like how the hood tube matches the roof line. Too bad you don't have that tube anymore.

On the pic with tire. I had an idea where the angled bars coming down tie into the back like a p1k5, then the bars with tire hinge at front and lift up away from the bed supported by shocks.

I did a sketch with tubes like you mention but bed is so short on these the angle was too steep for my liking. That one is probably my favorite so far. Thinking some dark stained wood sideboards.
Trying to add something curved so i can justify having that tubing roller around. 179 bucks plus another 250 for billet dies and drive gear. And its just collecting dust

Pic of B pillar mount. My next cage will eliminate B pillar bung and im adding a 2nd mounting bolt. My life is worth more than one M8 bolt.

 

[Delton]

Speaking of cages....time to do it again. Bed or no bed? That really is the question.

 

[Delton]

If anyone is interested, my 3p cage is available. Already set up for 4p harnesses and head rests are where you can reach them without pulling a muscle.

Spare carrier also available for a little more cheddar. Not trying to make any money here. Just enough to buy more tubing. Pm me offers.

 

[Delton]

Got a Talon lined up for a cage. Just waiting for guy to get his hands on it.

 

[Delton]

Got an hmf xl coming sometime before Christmas. So expect some soundclips of every muffler known to man being ran on my rig for testing.

I made it to page 56 going 1 at a time. Then I had to go 2 at a time to make it to page 90. I have ADD so I gave up at this point because I cheated and looked at the most recent photos of your build. Your build lasted about 4,000,000 X longer than my attention span.

But, I'm here to report to you - it's a cool build. Looks like you're having a lot of fun and that's what this is all about.

My Gf took a peek a few times and said "Why did he make a new roll cage and doors, it already had those.."

My reply was the same as any persons would be. "Because he can."

I defended your honor. Your welcome. lol Keep up the good work!
