Adding a cooler for some more fluid capicity.
removed some of the fan shroud so the hydro lines have a place to go through.
Just enough room.

The Transfer case mount was $87 shipped, so even if your old one dosent fail it's still woth the upgrade. Not to mention it's much cheaper that the Marlin T/C mount and twice as strong.

Finally got a chance to get a good flex test on it, I need to get the spring rates abit more even. The rear's are way softer then the front's and it's time to take some sheet metal off the back quarters fo some tire clearance.

The resivor I had on my stock Toyota V6 power steering pump was plastic so there was little I could do to mod it. Lucky for me I had a friend that just removed the power steering pump from his 88 V6 4runner. For some reason the early modle V6 power steering pumps used a steel resivor, three bolts and it just pulls right off the pump. That is the resivor you see pictured above, much easer to mod steel than plastic.
Word of advise thought! if you wanna go the same rout as I did make sure you add a large cooler to the system. The tiny resivor dosent support enough fluid capicity the make the system work corectly. It took me a couple of days to find out why I couldent get the hydro assist to work

Fore sure! Im trimming the rear sheet metal a bit to keep the tires from getting cut too piss. I think I gotem where I want them, I just need to give it another flex test to make sure I got it all.
Stupid fuel prices are kinda taking the fun out of everything these days.

Been a while since I threw down some updates!
Finally got my hydro assist working correctly, just need a decient sized resivore!
Started getting the winch mounted, Trail Gears winch mount serves as a good base. There is roughly about 3/4" of steel on the front of the frame now!

Had to rebuild the king pins real quick!
So I could do this! I also learned that by putting limiting straps on the rear suspension finally made the front springs start working.

Then I added some new body mounts from 4crawler
shortened the 2" body lift by 3/8". I would have just taken it out but there where to many other things that I would have had to move again like shocks, steering box, and fuel tank. Not worth my time to do it all again.
Started making some nerfs.
Mocking up.

As far as a build go's it will probably be never ending. There always seams to be something new to work on after I wheel it.
It's kinda hard these days to do something diffrent. The main tubes are actually 2". A bit bigger than most sliders are but I think it helps them stand out more!
