I was thinking about that if I can find some close to the length that I need hopefully longer would be great. I can cut it at home to the length I need if I find the right pieces. I just don't have a welder nor have I ever welded.

 

Oh yeah i can weld for you. I have a 110 flux cored wire feed but it gets the job dont i've welded most everything on my truck with it.

Just let me know when you want some welding done or wanna meet up for a beer

 

Well i've been adding a lot of those little things nothing real major lately

Added some runners since i kept hanging up on rocks


Flex-A-Lite on a toggle switch


Started to set up the OBA


New Cobra Digital CB (the old one was a pos)


V-6 4runner master cylinder


New quarter panels (the new ones are trashed already)


Clevis mounts and mudflap mounts


Doorless


Got 'er a little dirty

 

nice!!!

 

Wait a minute... are those new fenders since our last run?

 

My steering fell off


Histeer time







Clearance test


Got some shackles from BigBluePile (thanks man!) and 15 minutes later:




Gonna try and clear 38's now wish me luck... i'm gonna need it

 

Damn, Shes lookin good since my last check in bro !!


38's ?!?!?


Gonna need lots of

Should look badass though !!

 

NICE DUDE!!
You should have had that thing in Manti today!
check the thread "Manti Utah offroad show"

 

Yeah 38's it will probly look weird but i will have a super low center of gravity if i can clear 'em. I'll run 36's for a while first

I saw the pics, looks like a hell of a time.

 

Well my snorkel was driving me crazy so i rerouted it up under the dash.... i hope its not too low...


Nice and clear around there


Also put some time into repairing a rust hole

 

38's...? GOT GEARS?

lol!!

I thought you were gonna use those shackels in the front? You probably didn't need to cut them for the rear?

 

Looking good man!!!

 

Bout time!
haha I love my Histeer/RUF setup, but I SERIOUSLY need to put in longer brake lines.

What did you do to correct your pinion angle before the front hanger? You may have posted up, but I dont remember

 

Yeah i was but the rear was sagging so damn bad. It's ALMOST level now

Yeah i love it too its freakin awesome.
I havent done anything about the pinion angle yet, one of these days i will quit being lazy and set up new perches or at least burn on shims

 

I finally got my driveshaft back in (just got it lengthened) and the Ujoint is binding, but only when the grease nipple is at the top... I could probably just clearance it with a small dremmel or something like that, but I cant imagine it at full droop.

What length were your shackles for the front spring?
I have the Sky MFG boomerangs, I think the're 5.5", that may be why my pinion is pretty much flat

 

Yeah i just did my rear driveshaft the other day now i'm all good to go there.

Thats strange that your binding... mine are smooth as butter and i have 2 extra leafs in the pack plus the overloads (maybe an extra inch of lift) then another inch or so from the front hanger and 5" Downey spring shackles. Maybe the perches were different in 83 or something idk.
