THANKS...Wanted a Diesel but I found the V6 cheap

 

Next Build-up Thread.................Great Fuel Mileage Too.

 

The rear flip U-bolts are in, how easy now for the fronts

 

Nice

 

Will this is my TOYota right now, wait to install the V6 4.3. Hopefully soon, winter is coming.................

 

you should cut the frame.

 

Thanks.............

yes sir, going to remove about 4 inches, want to keep a little piece for the tailgaters.

Order a new rear upper shock mount from Low Range offroad last night, should be here in 3 or 4 days. As I get extra money it will go into the TOYota, piece by piece.

 

Well I did say 4 inches off the frame, so it's 7 1/2 inches. Now going to cut it off as we re-welded the receiver piece back on.









and as you can see new tailgate (free $) no rust

 

UPS found my house, Part arrived of course day after a go back to work, but it's here my new Toyota Rear Upper Shock Mount from Low Range off road (Utah)

well shorten the frame by 7.5 inch, need some type of caps or complete piece of steel over the ends?
