yeah i really wanted to but i have too many projects, also i have a 2wd 2nd gen that has been in my family since i was born so that one deserves some attention and i am thinking a sas and a 3rz would be well suited for a truck i know the wife cannot ask me to get rid of, heck i proposed to her in it so it is pretty safe....lol

well quick update:
got the IFS rear in and the front hanger reworked and cleaned up some loose ends like some TG bombproof motormounts and a new t case mount and a muffler and tailpipe and went out to fordyce for a quick overnight trip from commitee up to meadow and back. was a good time with the only casualty being a u joint.
some pics:


water was really low


where i broke the u joint just on top of WH3. the cross came out in three pieces and i was not even in it that much so i am guessing long term flogging had prefractured it.


here is a good pic of the front hanger.

truck performed pretty well besides my tire still grabbing the cab corner a little so i need to address that and i would still like to get a little more up travel in the front so i might end up drilling my perches and scooting the axle forward a inch or so just to try it out and adding some bump stops front and rear. also need to swap out my clutch master as it started leaking on the trip. Also still need bumpers, but i have been debating going full buggy on it so i am waiting to make up my mind before building the bumpers just to change them.
