navajo build

[littlesmail]

here is my 1991 mazda navajo that i am building, i started over a year ago with a cage, and after i was done with that i decided i wanted to link it, so here is a timline of pictures.. let me know what you think!

before i started it had all stock interior with a simple cage just welded to the cab.

front end is custom ttb with custom radius arms and coil sprung with a dual shock set up

decided to start all over in the interior and do a good solid cage to the frame

main hoop

the halo

dash bars.. went through the ac box in order to keep ac

finished cage and fuel filler/ spare mount..

for rear tail lights

seat mount..

built a removable light bar

here are a few finished interior shots.

decided to pull it back into the shop and shorten the radius arms up and put them on heims, and 4 link it with a 9 inch rear end.

radius arms with stock bushings

modifiing them for heims

and the finished raduis arm/ 4link mounts, and the start of the 4 link.

crossmember in between the mounts

upper 4 link mounts

let me know what you think so far!

Looks great! That's a hell of a cage and dash. Like what you're doing to the suspension too.

You'll have to join us out at Truck Haven. We go a few times a year when it's cooler.

This is a sweet build you definitely put some thought into that cage. The spare tire carrier and fuel filler is a cool idea too.

Fabulous fab

Great fab work and creative melding of tube and plate. I admire the way you used sheet to finish off the backside of the Navajo interior...slick ride with links and trussed 9" ought to get you there and back!
