My boys drop top is coming together. Both sides of the mini tubs are completly done! His wheels jus got back from WELD CRAFT bad ass (13in.).

I mocked up the rear end up toady to see if we could use the fox axles or the sn ones we lucked out w/ the UPR offset lca and are able to tuck the tires in w the fox axles... its all very close but it works and clears all suspension and the notched frame.

Tires are on back order for months now [Eek!] since nov. no 345s are nowhere to be found.

All that is left is for me to weld up the brackets for the coilovers and mounting bar between the frame rails besides TIRES!!!

Ill post up more pics later on enjoy the STEAMROLLERS [Smile] - - -

Yo bro, i have more pics of the build ill put up after its all done from start to finish. All i have to do is weld up the QA1 coilovers. Then in order to put it on the ground the tires that cant be FN [BS flag] found.

Yes, the top works and is fully functional [Smile] .

I dont think ill do another one besides my own. i did not or am not charging him its more of a favor for a favor lets say. once i have more time on my hands plus a place to do it i might consider doing it to mine. I want to repaint mines first.

Not sure what tires you want for the rear but you can Call Ron at AIM Tire at Infineon. He can get you the Toyo Proxes TQ 345-17 for about $180.

Unless you need 18's which he also has
