You are right Fillsrunner! I love this clutch.
I also did a few things to the bed today. I ran the wiring in the frame and cleaned up the rust and gave it a paint job.

Thanks Ty!!
Sas it! I can tell you I absolutely love how it performs. In my opinion it drives and handles better than IFS. And wheeling it is a whole different world.

Makes you wonder why toyota got rid of the SFA in the first place.

If it wasn't for the Utah Pioneers I would have posted pics of the flatbed. The 24th of July in Utah is a state holiday and the fab shop where my truck is was closed on Fri. Hopefully Monday it will be ready and I will post up a slew of pictures.
YES about the duals. I am saving my pennies. I hope to have an Ultimate set up in it within the next few months.
Thanks for the compliments 89silverpu!!

Spearo, you trapped under something heavy? Hope you're fine and when you get back to where there's time, electricity and bandwidth a-plenty, how 'bout some flatbed pics?

HELL yes you do!

I just rolled into town after being out in nowheresville for a few months. A fellow yotatecher PM'ed me and said he saw my truck on Interstate 80 the day I was driving home. That is a just a few degrees of separation! ahhahahah
My flatbed is in progress. I am making some modifications to it to hold a few things (tool box, Hi Lift, etc. It got stalled due to work. I expect to have it done within a month. It is tedious and steel is expensive so I work on it when I can. I have access to a shop with Miller welders and plasma cutters.
In addition to work it is bow season here in Ca. I had my truck up the mountain for the past few days and compared to stock (last years season) this year is a whole different thing. WIth the locker, gearing, U bolt flip kit etc. this truck is really amazing. It has made a HUGE difference. I will post up a few pics of wheeling around the Trinities.
Thanks for the concern as to my well being! I am finally back at a computer!
