Just recieved the custom CV axels for my center mount differenial build. I am trying to post some photos but am giving up. I cannot log onto Yotatech on either of my laptops running windows XP anymore. I get the message operation aborted and the internet explorer locks up. I was able to log on tonight on a borrowed computer that is running windows Vista but it will not allow me to post pictures. I am getting fed up with this Yotatech BS. Any suggestions on getting this resolved.

I can only take the credit for the perches spring plate studs and some of the gussets.That is a sky manufacturing housing . Check them out a great bunch of offroaders. http://www.sky-manufacturing.com Thats funny you asked I have an opportunity To buy a 2004 e locker axle for 200 bones.I do plane on picking it up but It will need 5.29 gears so it ill be on the floor for some time. I am also working on a turbo 22rte for the runner.http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...teturbo001.jpg

I did some flexing to see how the bump stops are working.I am thinking that I can shorten the compression stops about 1 MORE inch. That should give the rig about 2 inches more travel. By the way I am running a four inch lift with 3 inch bump stop drop brackets. The top droop stop has no rubber on it at this point . that needs to be addressed soon on of them is separating from the frame. I was going to weld on it but i held off. I am thinking of cutting them off and lowering them the thickness of the OEM rubber pad.http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...teturbo005.jpghttp://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...teturbo004.jpg[url]

Yes I love sky-manufacturing products. I just finished coating the T-case cross-member that I got from sky in clear Poly-Acrylic. I am going to be working on the dual t-case and three inch drive train lift install this June.

Cool snatch that E-locker up, you can't beat that price.

Also you can embed your photos from photobucket, by using this url code in front of and after the url-link. [img]put you link here[/img] your photo will show up in you post.

such as this

The looks sweet man. I can't wait to have Long-travel. Looks like your runner might run as smooth as a Cadillac down the highway.

How was Browns Camp, I have not had the chance to visit Browns Camp yet.

Can u dig it! Here are the custom CV axles lengthened to work with the Blazeland Long Arm Kit. The axle on the bottom is the standard Pickup / 4 Runner.
