Yeah soon, when you get that thing in and head down here, I talked to one of my brother in law's and he said he might come. Sad thing is he hasn't driven his truck in over a two years, I was the last one to drive it 83 Toyota with 35's dual cases, locked, he goes to Brown's camp about once every other week but takes his quad

Ah yeah I didn't know you had a body lift, it was kind of an impulse buy, I hadn't been planning it really and then when I was looking at my gas tank I thought "I really need to do something about that" and after reading yotarob2005's build, I just bought it.

I picked up a set of wheels today, I have always liked the look of just painted or powder coated plain steel wheels, now I can get rid of my mismatched wheels, have something to mount my Maxxis Bighorn's to and have a spare.

So now that I have the body lift, I have been thinking of ways to do the drivetrain lift, I want to do it as cheap as I can so I was thinking of ordering one of the center plates from front range off road and make my own T-case xmember

But, now after laying under my truck for a bit and looking at ways it would fit, I don't think I can build this one with the torsion bar mounts in the way, does anybody have pics or ideas of IFS xmembers they made?

I actually read his first build thread last night and saw his x member, I was thinking of something similar but I thought it might be kinda weak, but it looks like his held up, so I think that is an option.

Hey James, just read your thread, really like the look of your truck, in fact it reminds me of another truck I loved the look of. I can't for the life of me remember who's truck this is, I copied it from one of the "post your pics" threads, but forgot to take note of the driver's profile name. It's like your truck only as a 4runner:
I don't know what it is, but the look of those lights beside a blacked out grille makes me smile every time I see the pic, and now again as I look at your truck. Keep up the good work, I'm subscribed.
