hey there, been building a budget mud truck, in newzealand, still havethe toolbox to make and line the cab at the back, well a hole bunch of stuff really ..   got 8 hundred bucks in it so far but thats only 450 of your greenies

Hey, the Demon truck is back!

That looks pretty cool.   Have you though about putting on some CJ springs and sliding that axle back a couple of inches?

yeah ive thought about it, maybee leaning towards toyota coil conversion tho. although i could get some jeep leaves and get them in on a weekend. my front leaves are shot (flat). i need to do something. i also have to make a toolbox under the bed and shift the fueltank abovethe chassis behind the seats in front of the box.

have done  a ruf now, cut out the front crossmember and re welded in a front bar so i could move the shackles forward a bit next is to mount the winch and some bar work. i will probably chop the guards and front off now,toomuch rust.i tink a tube front will be cool

As open as it is now is the time to put the coils in back.  The Drone put a nice 4 link system in his sj410 http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/build-diaries-how-to-diy/sj-410-rear-4-link-build/.  It could be done in a long weekend.  We had one tacked in place on a Sami over last thanksgiving weekend.  (The drone took more time cause he isn't able to get up very early on weekends to work on his rig.)

yeah im keen to swap it to coils soon, im just collecting parts together for it, im looking to use toyota prado/landcruiser 8inch diffs and radius arms although iv seen some cool 3 link setups. most peaple in nz do a 3 or 4 link rear

got a bit more done,ruf conversion rear radiator and started tubefront end

Looking good!

got a bit more done this weekend but found a leak in the radiator so i gotta find another now,not much to do now

I like the grill.  Are you going to put lights in it?

yepi have two sets of small spots im gonna put in there

first set of spots in,winch all wired up and got the rear deck sorted with rope rails and tube supports

deck on,front drive shaft lengthened, not much to do now

I like the wood deck. 

Are you going to raise your gas tank?
