PROJECT: Redemption (93 b2600i bagged and bodied)

WOOT! The other tabs for shocks or something?

Where the heck did you get the IRS? I wish I could have gotten my hands on one!

Other tabs?? Theres 16. You miss counted!!

I got the IRS from U Pull It for 75 bucks. Its from an 86 Nissan 300zx. It'll be a while before that gets put in though, unless i can get a daily, cuz i'm gonna have to drive this truck

Lol... my bad.

What??? What is it going to take to get the rearend to work in the mazda? Swap out the pinions or something? I thought you could only do an rx-7 IRS for the mazda?

I'm gonna get the 300zx driveshaft and get the 2 shafts matted together at the right length, cuz i'm sure it'll have to be a different length anyway, haha. And i'm gonna go back and get the crossmember that it all bolts to to ease the installation and make sure everything is lined up right

sweet. finally seeing some pictures! if i get to come up for the ra show we should get all cracked out and get the WHOLE thing done in like a day or 2. that would be like overhaulinx1000000000! hahahaha. and your rendering is pretty sick. thought my 24's were big didnt know it would lay on like 28's!!!

josh

ha i know..... you're such a big rim poser!! I dont know if i'll be able to get everything to bag it by the RA show or not, it'd be close, i got about 1100 worth of stuff left to buy. But thats to get everything!!!

hurry. you know that money grows all over trees. take out a second job as a pimp. i heard they make good money. hahaha.

Ok! *****UPDATE*****

I got the bumper brackets mocked up, i'm more or less makin em from scratch, i cut the main part of the mazda bracket off and i'm reusing the frame mount part. I made plates to mount on the bumper. The hardest part was to figure out where in space the toyota bumper plates would be. And holding the bumper with one hand and lookin around is not easy!

Well heres some pics. This is with the main bracket part cut off, and i had to remove the lil box thing underneath the bumper mount because it was keepin the bumper from goin back far enough....




This is the toyota brackets i made and them sittin on the bumper......






This is lookin down on the bumper from above.. viewing the overhang of the grille, not too bad... better than havein the fenders way off from linin up.....




Here;s the mounts after i got em all mocked up, i jus used steel rod to test fit it, it fits awesome!!! I'm gonna plate it all up with 3/16" steel tomor....






And finally....... Here is the bumper all mounted up... on the mocked up mounts, i'm sure i'll have a lil adjustin to do tomorrow when i can see better but fits pretty damn good!! Let me know what ya think :p :p :p

looks good man. im trying to think of a bumper to put on mine. stock, the one you have or the grant kustoms one.

glad you didnt have to dish out the money on the brackets.

josh

me too!! jus 23 for the piece of 3/16" steel i got, it was kinda tricky to figure out how i was gonna do it but im very pleased with how its turnin out, it'll get plated up so i'tll be super strong tomor
