good deal bro.

I put the wheels on today! it's not driveable yet, but it's gettin there.

 

hell yeah man progress is progress keep it up soon both of us will be done yours sooner then mine but you get the point hahah

 

Psst. You sell it or you die...you are never "done".

 

very good point bro i will never be "done" with it ever there is always something i want to do thats for sure hahahha

 

does any body know how many bi metal hole saws i should buy for the hanger hole i have to cut in the frame?? 2 should do it i think but i don't know


Nevermind 1 did all 4 holes thank god cuz that bit was 14 bucks haha

 

yeah, the hole saw I got was pretty damn good, it'd go thru another frame right now if i needed.

 

well i cut off the IFS today i have to go to work at 230 so ill have to do a little more cutting and grind everything smooth tomorrow but i got a lot done in 4 hours hahaha...




AND WHERE THE IFS BELONGS WAHAHAHA......

 

I'm sure the neighbors LOVE that


make sure to sweep up all the metal off the ground so it doesn't leave rust stains on your parent's nice driveway since it's supposed to rain tonight. A shop-vac would be even better.

 

Looking good. Now send me the shocks.

 

well me and jeremy dominated and made massive progress today we hung the leafs put the axle on and put the tie rod and tires on. HOLY CRAP is this thing huge now hahaha my rim to fender measurement is 21 inches without the shocks on. Tonight im gonna finish the steering and tomorrow we'll get the hoops on and brakes dialed in and hopefully get the rear lift on.....the rear should be a cake walk compared to the front....anyway here are the pics.


jeremy welding


look at those beads like a slide of nickels


and here she is....

 

Nice work dude! about the same spot I am. I drove it today, minus shocks. It's sweet

I've got some adjusting to do on the steering and toe....and my brakes are still mushy even though I got all the air out, so we'll see.

 

Two scary words when used together.


That would be "dimes".

Looking good considering Jeremy is helping you and that you actually got it done in less than 3 years with his help.

 

i also broke a pitman arm puller i used about half a can of WD40 and ill let it soak over night i hope with the new pitman arm puller this thing comes off its on there tight as hell....soaking usually always works so we'll see

 

PB Blaster is much better than WD40.

Tighten the puller. Hit the bolt on the pitman with a hammer. You might only get a 1/4 more of a turn after hitting the bolt. If it gets real hard stop and spray liberally with PB Blaster and let it soak. Wait a while.

Repeat.

It'll come off with some perserverance and patience.

 

yeah before my puller broke i got it to move about 1/8 of an inch so soaking it should help i didn't even think about hitting it so hopefully i can get it off i have a MAPP gas torch so if all else fails ill heat it up

 

a slap in the face AND a kick in the balls. . . nice Brian.


It may have taken three years but my first two pistons make more torque than all 4 of yours ( not talking about the PSD of course )


you should see the snot rockets they tried to call welds on some spots of his front hanger, guess you can't complain for free. . . or can you ? There's enough weld it shouldn't ever fail, but welding snobs do not approve

 

4Runner92sr5, can you post some side pics? I'm going to put the same leaves but Marlin on mine when I do my SAS and want to run 33's...

Thanks,

David

 

yeah heres a side shot obviously the rear isn't lifted yet but you can get the idea of how it will look 33's don't look as bad as i thought they would...ill post up when i get my rear done hopefully tonight.

 

well i got the brakes hooked up that didn't take long at all but i spent most of the mornin tryin to get that damn pitman arm off and i broke ANOTHER puller ......so i have to wait for jeremy to come over and we'll go get another one but before i get that done me and him can get the shock hoops done and the rear lift then figure out how in the world we are going to get that pitman arm off...i soaked it overnight with half a can of wd40 and then i hit the puller bolt with a hammer then tightened then did it again its moving but not very far....

 

damn pitman arm
