If you take as many pics as ORS did in that 3.4 L swap thread, we will all be happpppY :}

 

well if I decide to go that way .. or anyother .. you can be sure of lots of pics .

 

so time for the front diff






got the hubs , calipers , .. basically down to the axles .

man !! I hate this cleaning stuff ... but almost done .

this is before .. and you all know how the knuckles , and everything is .. coated!!!





so knuckles , shields and mostly everything else are clean ...








hopefully tomorrow .. I will get some "black" on them

 

lots of work .. but got the front finished today .








hopefully , tomorrow .. BLACK .

 

yay!!! subscribing.

 

so all POR-15'd , and home in time for the game ! .. still "damp" but should be rock hard tomorrow











.

 

you're keeping the stock trac bar? what is the deal with that thing?

 

I'm going to lengthen it .. but i'm only going 33's .. maybe 35's .. so it'll be fine .

 

why is it that toyota put that there? what purpose does that bar serve on an axle that gets used less than half of the time?

 

that thing looks killer

 

drivability on road .. and spring wrap in 4WD .

this unit is basically a " stock type " mall princess ... i'm building it for my son's 16th B-day .. but he'll probabally get my old truck

I love that truck .. but .. so far .. 33's are what the plan is .









ohh .. and thought I would mention ..
ordered the 5V-zfe and "stuff" today .


.

 

so front axle is back together .. mostly .......

you can see it here http://toyotatrekker.proboards107.com/index.cgi?board=chassispowertrain&action=display&t hread=63





i'm ready for the "big brakes"

 

oh man, want to adopt me?

thanks ... wish I could have taken more pics .

no , i'm going to stay with the original rears I think ? .. or I was thinking maybe rear disc brakes .... havent decided .

I was talking to a buddy that just did the fronts , and he has had no issues , no problems , and it stops much better the stock .. so I might just stay with those .

 

spring pins , and shackles and misc ... POR-15'd .. the list is shrinking .

 

so started the "clean up" today .. only a couple of hours , but got it ready to assemble tomorrow .

here is where I started ..









got it all torn apart , and the old rotor off ..

New vented rotor





and everything cleaned , painted .. and cleared .







now ready to assemble .
