73 hilux project

some parts came in today!!!!

picked up the fittings for the air ride. all the fittings are steel. the tube nuts and sleeves are stainless. cost $230



40' 3/8x.035 stainless hardline



random ebay 16" fan kit. hopefully it works for how little the truck will be driven



and i made some tabs and mounted my rear brake hose

Sweet parts update!!!

Why put the valves inside...

Just wondering...

thanks man.

the bed is going to be open over the suspension, and i hate seeing plastic d.o.t. air hose all over the place. lol

by putting it inside the wiring will be hidden, the valve is out of sight. all i'll have on the chassis is a line from the tank. one to each bag, aluminum fuel lines, and a brake line. the compressor wiring, fuel sender and tail light wiring will all be hidden as well.

basically i've fell in love with how a bare chassis looks, but i want to drive it. so i'm trying to keep the clutter down

today i ran the rear bag hardlines, and the tank to manifold line

DUDE, burnzya, I love what you did with that frame! What size metal did you use? I'm thinkin about doin that myself.

thanks

the frame is 2x3x.120 tube, the rear tubing is 1.25x.120 tube, lower bars are 2x2x.25 sq. tube.
