Well some of you have probably seen my 4runner build on here and I ended up having to sell my tow rig so the time came to get rid of the runner and build somthing more streetable. I ended up selling the bare cab and frame motor and tranny from the 4runner and kept everything else for this build. Here are the specs:

TG 5" sas- DONE
TG 5" rear kit- DONE
83 front axle
High pinion w/ 5.29s and detroit- DONE
Armored trussed and gusseted- DONE
30 spline longfields and hub hub gears- DONE
TG trunion eliminators- DONE
ARP knuckle studs- DONE
3rd member stud eliminators- DONE
V6 calipers- DONE
Marlin HD seals- DONE
Rear axle: V6 3rd with 5.29's and lockright- DONE
Sky t case e brake- DONE
Dual stock cases- NEEDS INSTALLED
Twin Sticks- NEEDS INSTALLED
Bed bobbed 12"- DONE
HID headlights- DONE
Rock sliders- NEEDS BUILT
Bumpers- NEEDS BUILT
37" BFG Krawlers on 17" black steels

So thats what ive got so far tomorrow im going to finish up the body work for the bob and then im going to start planning out a rear bumper.

that's a nice big area for you to work! is it yours or are you just borrowing space?

Its my grandpas shop im lucky enough to get to use his shop and tools pretty much whenever i want. If I didnt have his shop as an option then I probably wouldnt be able to do hardly anything to my truck so its really nice.

Anyways I got the sky t case ebrake installed:



The clearance between the rotor and the vss is super tight I had to pull the wire as tight as I could and zip tie it back to keep it from rubbing



Thats all for now

4rnnr33

Works awesome it will kill the truck if i try to take off with it on

"kill" as in stall out? or "kill" as in need a new transmission and crankshaft?

4rnnr33

Just a thought for the pivot on your sky brake. It looks like you could flip the bolt so that the treads are pointed at the truck instead of the ground. That way you won't bend the end of the bold over on a rock. That said, there may be a reason for it going that way. In either case the truck is looking awesome. Keep the pictures coming.

Thanks for all the comments!! And about the bolt I didnt even think about flipping it until I was looking at the pictures so when I get around to it I'll flip it but it shouldnt be seeing anything but snow for a while so I dont think it should be too much of an issue.

one more e-brake question: on the site it said 1 hour to install, but how long did it actually take you?

pretty sick build man. how do you like those 5" springs? i was thinking about 4" because i thought the 5 inchers would be too tall, but now im thinkin about em again.
