Little update....
LID:
Fabbed up our own hinges on the inside. Made a latch using a tailgate latch from a dodge pickup. Basically made our own rods and brackets and utilized the actual latch and striker setup. Came out pretty good and locks up nice and tight.I will be using a cam style lock to keep it locked. All thats left on the lid is to skin it. I may outsource that as I dont have acess to a large brake to bend the sheet. Also need to figure out and attach gas struts to open it.
Replaced the axle with a 3500lb unit from ABC trailer parts. Ended up going with hubs to match my 'yota. Got the FJ steelies mounted up with the BFG mud terrains.
Fenders:
needed to build new fenders for a couple reasons..the most being I went a little big on the axle and half the tire was hanging out. I built a set of 15 inch wide fenders out of 16g and 1/2 tube. I basically followed the lines of the stock ones.
Accessories:
I welded in a reciever in the rear and reinforced it underneath. This is for a bike rack in the future. I also added a pioneer tool rack to the back panel. I am in the process of building a pair of can holders for my gas cans. They will be mounted on the toungue in front of the cooler rack.
I need to get the pics off my phone and add to the post this weekend after I get a little more done.
