No steering stabilizer? How's it drive on the freeway without it?

Installed the brake lines today. Just need to align it as the steering wheel is cocked to the left, put bumpstops on, and get this driveshaft thing figured out.

It rides pretty good. The springs and shocks work well, it tracks straight, and has no vibration. Sometimes if I hit a bump just right I get some bumpsteer, so I will add a steering stabilizer.

As for the cart I owe my friend, well lets just say I lowered the lift a little too much.

Been there done that, although it was an oil collector

At least you were in a somewhat private shop when you did that. I had to walk it back to the counter a la "the walk of shame"

I installed the SS brakelines and got my draglink adjusted so my steering wheel is straight. Still need bumpstops and a driveline.....

Also need to figure out how to rewire the 4x4 light so it comes on....Robinhood? 4runnerkid? Josh?...anyone??

The writeup on 4x4wire says you just need to take the ADD wires and short them together. But like my other thread says, I don't know where those are anymore.

Awesome job Marc...now enjoy the tires actually touching the ground rather than spinning out on trails!
