Looking straight down the 4x4 rails: ![]() 4x4 and 2x4 side by side, you can see how much higher the front suspension arch is, also an idea of the difference in body mounts: ![]() Hope that helps.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
i wonder of you can use the 4x4 frame with a 2wd frontsuspension to get a 2 wd laying frame instead of doing a Z on a 2x4 frame it might be the eazier way to go if youre doing a frame of build

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
In the front yes. The rear still needs a notch. If I had gone with the regular Dropmember that is what I would have done.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Mike, looks good. Based on what I see I take it for granted that you are sticking with the
orginal frame and making you mods as needed?....Jim

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
not trying to thread jack or anything just curious to know if anyone knows...Is the 2wd blazer frame the same as your 4wd blazer frame?
Frame table extension seems to be turning out good man. |

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
i believe the front part of the frame is shaped differently to leave room for the solid frontaxle on a 4wheel drive , if it is raised higher the kick up in the frame might be good to get the truck to lay frame using a stock crossmember without z-ing the frame in the front or the need to pancake the crosmember

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
the fake wood thing isnt done with an airbrush , its a basecoat and a coat over wich they distress with brooms and paintbrushes and a little tool while its still wet to get the look of the grain the might put in a few black spots but thats about it
