Haha, exactly! But now that I spent the money on the links I don't have KD money. I'll have to save more once this is finished.

 

Always something. How is the old 3vz treating you anyways? I know it didn't look too good the last time you took your heads off.

 

Knock on wood she's running fine. I have had a knock in the bottom end, doesn't seem to get worse. Just hope it holds a little longer.

 

Holy smack me in the mug with that "I want that" stick! Hehe....Really nice work over on that thread at that link! That was a fun read and it's really nice looking stuff you got going on there RB! I can't wait to see this done and then break out my I want that stick again. Lol... Ur a very funny dude as well. .. which made the read even better... Specially the parts around " my wife would have you know they are paving stones, thank you very much !" Hahahaha... I want to register over there when I get a chance... Just have a weird thing going on with my phone on that particular site. Text in photo bodies move within their border and it made it a little hard to read just in regards to me figuring it out... After all it is a smarter than me phone so it stands to reason that would happen from time to time.

As an absolute beast your building man, very impressed! Still tripping on those ones portions with the axle and and the Fj80 flanges and such... Like I said I was having a little trouble reading it so I pressed on... It seems as though you were saying that you had to change up things on the Flanges end order to get the clip on the end of the actual shaft...?

 

Yes, the drive flanges from the new style fj80 are 30mm due to the wear they see as a full time 4wd. The old style are only 20mm and should be plenty of engaugement Andalusia me to run a set of TG Dirty 30 innners that are 32.5" long. Off the shelf parts is what I'm aiming for or Iwould have gone with longfieldsuperaxles.

 

Fitted
No panhard yet, waiting on frame plates.

 

Wow, just sexy! Nice work, RB!

 

looks great. if i ever SA my clean LT runner. i would definitely link it. i dont wanna go backwards with leaf springs lol
did you but a link kit or you made it yourself

 

Thanks guys its a 4Wheel Underground.

 

got my shocks...BLING!

 

Ok,.... now you're just being mean! Lol. ... jk... what are those? ....I see I think an 'flo' on the end? Probably not even close, hahahaha! I see a fitting up there though... Maybe I should guess ___flo super duper series? Remote setting?

 

now i know why you don't have any money for your engine swap

 

Am I on the money here?.....

Dayummmmm! Noice!

 

Radflo...they are the emulsion version. These are recommended by 4Wheel Underground, as they have presettings to help you quickly dial in your suspension(i mean, if you are installing this on a toyota mini, 4WU has settings you can apply out of the box to get you going straight away). I'm not a pro, but i can take instructions from one. They are completely rebuildable, and the shaft is 7/8"....they seem very nicely made. Still waiting on,:
Frame plates
Shock Towers
Misc-tabs for coilovers and limit straps
Marlin Hi-Steer kit and 25mm trunion kit (been back ordered forever now)
HiPinion elocker(picking that up in Charlotte, SC when I visit me moms)
Drive Flanges (had to send my others back)
Axle Shafts

The drive flanges need to be in my hands before i can order the axle shafts from TG which should be 32.5" inners.

 

^^^ Ian you are mostly correct. Even if i did a leaf SAS, I wouldn't have $$ to do my engine swap. not to mention, i didn't need to do a FF rear right now, or regear, or elock the front and rear, or go with the hi-steer 25mm trunion kit from Marlin, or TG wiper and Rock Ring, or Tacoma brake kit FROR... I'm probably missing something

 

Got a bunch of stuff cut out yesterday from a client that owed me some work. So while I wait for parts I have a Jerry Can holder and a bumper to put together. Gas can mount first:

 

Like how you worked the maryland flag into the jerry can holder - that's badass

 

Thanks, I've used it in a few spots when I get gussets made.

 

Just a FYI... I've had radflo coilovers and bumps on the front of my truck for 6+ years now and have never had a single issue with them. Also used to ride shotgun in a race truck that had them all the way around and same thing, not a single issue other then typical wear and tear that a race truck will do to any shock. Nice choice!!!

 

^^^ thanks for the info, lots of this stuff is new to me, and I try to do my research, this was one time where i took the lead from Brian of 4Wheel Underground on which shocks/coilovers to use. Didn't see any issues from the limited research I did.
I did however, find some not-so-good things in the recent years about Fox....but again, I was just researching and have never used either brand until now(and I don't have the RadFlos installed yet.
