Looking foreward to seeing some pics. Can't wait to see a hardbody worth it's weight in anything. I had nothing but problems with mine and now she's parked until I tow it to the junk yard. Good luck with the project and pony up those pics. :bigthumb:

I guess your opinion is pretty biased (I remember you bought a mega used and old Hardbody, and that is not precisely the truck's fault, right ?), you ain't seen nothing I see. Start reading here : http://www.4x4parts.com/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=sas

thank you but i don't agree with you about the hardbodys, my truck was a realy nice ride on road and off road even now that almost have 300,000 kilometers.

you ain't seen nothing I see. Start reading here : CLICK HERE

that is for me jp?, because i have made a research but i haven't find a sas with the configuration that i will try to make, i'm thinking that maybe is not possible to do, so if you have more ideas i will be happy to hear about it.

I didn't mean to come acrooss as though I thought all hardbody's were trash. I'm rather looking foreward to seeing a nice one that is built up well. I would be very happy to have my very negative opinion of my particular rig changed. I'm hoping that I just had a crap truck and that the rest are perfectly capable as safe vehicles.
I'm half tempted to start cutting all the fenders and pull the bed to make a fun little off road rig. My main reason for not doing so is that I don't think the little 4banger would turn the tires too well. Also lots of the important components crapped out on me recently.
Good luck on the project, I'd much like to see a nice, workable version of my pos. Good luck to you
