hi, as with my earlier advice, please take this as constructive and in the interests of your safety and the longevity of your truck - please add more strength to your design, as this current setup looks like it will flex and probably won't last (in my opinion). at the very minimum, please add structure that ties the inside edges of the 'wings' (the strut tops that come inwards from the hoops) to the chassis, to prevent the twisting that will occur in the hoops under loading. doing the whole lot in larger diameter tube would have been more ideal, but adding strength to what you've built now, at least you won't need to re-do it again. also adding a strut brace will help with strength/stiffness too.

also, is your body solid mounted to your chassis, or still rubber (oem) mounted?

got a little done in the fucking rain today

gussets yet to be welded


and the shock top hats are not finished they will have additional tube braces to support them with a bolt in cross bar over the motor tying the shock hoops together

thanks for your concern but i already stated that i am adding additional cross bars over the engine.

I'm no dummy

that last update was soo awesome, I've always wanted to build a hardbody and the fact that you're running a 1U makes it soo awesome! There are like 6 or 7 1uz s13's around me, and my dad's uzi miata I love these motors. It looks like I can see a weld on the knuckle in one of the pics and I'm sure its in the thread somewhere but are you funning modified knuckles. I'm not sure if you've said it yet either but what are you doing for ecu?
