well.
I got the wifes 4.7s in, made dual shifters for it.
welded the rear.
have all pro 3 inch springs ready.
so will need a new drive shaft in the front.
skys cross over.
got the stuff for hydro assist.
going to use napa shocks. 94259.
they have a post on one end, may leave that or weld an eye onto them.
still have to finish her winch bumper.
she also wants 5.29 gears and front locker now.
will be a very different truck. lol.
my truck, got the hydro stuff.
36 inch swamper sx's.
going to weld a bar around the out side edge of the rim. move the valve stem in and add a rapid air down valve. tires are 12.5 going on an 8 inch rim.
may do wheel spacers on both trucks as we both rub the frame now.
I don't have the sx's on yet, have to do some saws all work. maybe move the axle back an inch. it is 3.5 inches forward now.
Why not go with a 10" rim so you got better back spacing?
Myself, I just did the quick release pins on my passenger door to see how it worked. I like the mod so I will be doing it to the other side soon. Future plans this summer for half doors if I find an extra set of doors laying around.
Getting ready to ship those 5.29's and locker out to Zuk, got them all boxed up and ready to go, just had a little set back with the bills so gotta have patience.
Going to look at a 7mgte block this weekend probably...Kid said it started to knock so he yanked the motor. Probably just a bad bearing and he only wanted like $50 for the block so it might grab it if I can repair it then I will build up the 7mgte.
Waiting for warmer weather to show up so I can get rid of all this road salt and corrosion it caused (that's something I didn't miss while I lived in VA).
When the weather breaks I need to do some work on both of my rear decks outside the kitchen and Master BedR...The backyard needs lots of help too...When Jerod is done with his bathroom he is coming up this way to put in my hot-tub [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Still the dang bathroom..... I got most of the tile in around the tub tonight...... I'm sick of tile, I'd rather sit and watch someone tile than do it myself now! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I got my new 16x8 Iavn Stewart TRD rims on, but I still need to pic up two more Bridgestone Dueler revos to take it off the axle stands...lol.
I'll be doing a minimal lift soon. Top mount spacers for the front and blocks or shackles for the rear. Four new HD Bilstein shocks will be going in at the same time.
I still have to mount/install my amp and run new wiring to the speakers.
I will also be replacing the timing belt soon. Will likely do the cam seals and water pump while it's all apart.
That will likely be it for this year. Damn I can't wait to get her on the road.

tire stays on better with an 8 inch rim.
I have two sets of 10's. one is a bead lock but it makes the rim 11 inchs wide, better for something like a 15 inch wide tire.
the 10's that I have on the toy have the lip ripped up pretty bad from the rocks
I'm; cutting out the firewall and replacing it with expanded metal on my 4runner, gotta put new grips on the trials bike, get the suspension rebuilt on the CR500, finish painting my sons dresser, get the CJ2a "frame" welded back together and titled so I can tear it all apart and turn it in to my "formula4runner .......... oh, and lose 5lbs would be a nice week
