wormhole

Will tonight with some help and the use of some air tools (very nice) the rear lower links were replaced on my 4runner. This was the first time I've used air power tools and it was great. Made things alot simplier

New lower links to replace the one I bent (thanks to sonoransteel) :


The slightly bent link :





Once we pulled the rear links the rear axle dropped back a little a bit and we had to use a strap/ratchet method to pull the axle foward again to align the holes back up.



The other little project was replacing the front hook and other strapping point with a set of d-ring shackles hangers (had these since the 4peaks cleanup and have just now been able to get them on, thanks 11db for the deal):

Good upgrade. How about beefing those connecting brackets up? My links were so stout they transferred all the force of impact to the bracket and folded it like a taco.

The brackets are already goofed, we had to pull the one side out a little bit to fit the new link in. They will be replaced down the line when the time comes.
