thanks. I just need to get the guy over here to wire up and outlet for my welder. I gotta weld up my rear truss, link crossmember, and rear links. then either make a crossmember or get a front range one.

The cpi motor has more juice than a normal 4.3 I'm a chevy guy. I tried to have a toyota motor once, a 22re, and it sucked. I sold a 22re, G52, and dual cases and picked up this 4.3 cpi, a JET th350 and dual cases 23 spline with the rotated adapter for about $200 more than than I sold the toy stuff for. So I picked it up. A toy 3.4 would be nice. But oh well.

Some updates over the weekend. Put the discs on the 14 bolt. Going to start The link truss today. They clear 15" wheels. I can't remember what kit it is but I'm using ruff stuff bent brackets.






mounted the 60 all the way. Mounted some 38's. Still haven't gotten the single wheel hubs.

Got some work done yesterday.

lower link crossmember and mounts I might have to modify it a little to clear the driveshaft.





Front range rotated crossmember


Everything mostly in place. The cases might go a little higher.

a few updates. Finishing up the rear suspension. The rest of my joints should be here tomorrow. Then I'm working on the wiring. Still need to finish bracing the rear truss and caping the front and rear of it.

It'll clear without the tires on. I'll drive out on some roller wheels I have. I'll be 3 linking the front as well

I'm just sticking with 1 tons. I'll end up putting bobby long 60 cv joints in the front with poly performance 60 flanges, and chromo's in the rear. Beefing everything I can. So when something blows it grenades.
