Ikarus' Lightweight Access Cab Build

I've used Six States in Salt Lake for gear and ARB installs several times and they do good work. The $550 they charged you included pulling your differentials for you? I've just brought them pulled third members and clamshells.

Yeah man, I just took the truck in and they handled everything.
 
Spent some time this weekend looking for snowy trails with DefconBrix ... success.

Nice build! Excited to see it come along even more. Just had my 1st gen double cab totaled and ended up with a '12 TRD O/R access cab 6 speed manual. Looking forward to getting her lifted and turned into the trail rig my 1st gen was.

Thanks man. Your new truck sounds like it'll be amazing.
 
Been a little too busy for the truck lately, as my friend and I imported a BMW e30 Touring from Germany -

We're documenting the build on our youtube channel, which you can check out here:



But I did order a Pelfreybilt front bumper, which should be here in February. Very excited for that.

Now it's time to start shopping for winches. I'm thinking WARN VR10000s. Anyone have experience with it?
 
Lovin the BMW wagon...

Good job there...

You will have a lot of fun working and bringing that BMW back. Believe me!
 
Naw, I wish...

I was into Civics and Integras years back but spent time at a BMW dealer as a Service Writer. Saw some nice older BMWs. Our GM was kind of collector of the oldies and goodies.
He has about five or six old 635s one an Alpina car, and four 2002s. But he always talked about his wagons as they are just cool as can be. Our favorite car was our E39 courtesy car we had a full time driver for.
That car was nice.
 
Some days at work are better than others -

The 80 is my buddy Dewey's. There's still a ton of desert out here I need to explore.

Drilled some holes in my fender and spent the weekend in the Anza-Borrego desert. More photos and videos to follow...
