Rear shock are done! using the factory upper shock locations I build a new crossmember that I could bolt the shocks to. I used 1.5" tubing bent 2 peices at about a 65 degree angle and sleeved the 2 peices together with some 1.75" tubing. After finding where I wanted everything I welded a 3/4 x 10 nut into the ends so I could bolt everything up. worked out pretty slick I must say!
Notice the lower Rt of the pick to see where the bolt threads in and where the old upper shock mount is.

The height issue was an unexpected problem that I dident realize untill I had it rolled out of the garage. Seamed normal too me cause I had full size chevy's for so long. I have an LT1/ 700r4 that I will trans plant into it later, hopefully the V8 weight will bring it down a bit. Im not to keen on the 2" body lift the previouse owner installed either. If possiable Ill be taking it off or atleast lowering it by an inch.

I'll probably be steeling some of your tank idea's later on down the road. Like I mentioned before I need to ditch the body lift on mine but the fuel tank is going to need some rework. I will have to lower the tank so I can bring the body back down and the stock 4runner tank is a bit tall to be lowering it any more than I have it now.

I have to say, I hate the gas tank location/size. Only thing I did to is was cut an access hole under the back/pass seat so I can reach my fuel pump.. I do NOT want to to have to drop that stupid thing again..

Removed the ABS bracket from the bottom of the ABS pump to reuse, the stock steering pump hoses clap to this bracket. So to make it easy I just put it back.
Made some brackets for the Saginaw steering pump from 3/16 plate.
Moded the original ajustment bracket a bit.

Mounted pump, still uses stock size belt and had the stock hydro lines for pump moded to fit.
The stock steering pump has 2 vacum lines running into it, simply remove one and loop the other on into the empty port.

Moved the steering box foward.
Had to clearance the frame on the bottom side so the tie rod nut on the pitman arm would clear.
Added a plat across the top with some flared holes.
Poerted the steering box for hydro assist and clearanced the core support and fender-well a bit.

Using a stock toyota V6 power steering resivor I moded it for the cost of a $5 heater hose fitting to fit my application.
Drill out to 9/16, makes a nice fit later.
Made a quick mounting bracket and booger welded the fitting on the bottom, looks like crap but it dosent leak.
