[Franeebeth]

[Lake_v2]

Oh hell there goes the neighborhood let me know if you need an extra redneck, er hand.... Oh and why not 4 link rear?

[Uncle Cracker]

if i go 4 link, i'll have to move the fuel tank into the back of the truck,,,,where will i put my ice chest
on any project, you must get your priorities
straight first

[Uncle Cracker]

here is a 3 link toyota>>>>>
that's all i want

[Uncle Cracker]

no more waiting around for me
tightening my shackle bolts








oh and,,,,,,,,, for those members who don't have time to help out, i am excepting cash donations


( still have a low mileage class A motorhome for sale "dirt cheap")

[Desert Dog]

Dammmmmm Roger. Your truck is going to be bad ass!

[Uncle Cracker]

i hope to have it back on the trail in 6 to 12 months BUY MY MOTORHOME

[chrisrigby]

hey dude dont know if you know about FOA coil overs yet but they actually make pretty decent stuff at a reasonable price. ive only seen them have issues when being raced hard and having to cycle a million times a minute. for crawling and stuff where the shock dosnt have to cycle as rapid as a desert car i bet they would do great.

[Uncle Cracker]

yea,,, i looked at them and many others.
i'm ordering all my creeper joints this friday.
4 weeks after that i'll order my threaded bungs, DOM tubing, and some plate steel.
what sucks is: gotta make those house payments along the way.
at this point, i'm not sure where the hell the money is coming from to purchase the shocks, bumps, and straps


BUY MY MOTORHOME
"dirt cheap"

[chrisrigby]

we dont do anything involving DOM at our shop but we do a ton of plate work / sheet metal stuff from 26 ga to 1 1/2 thick. give me some basic sizes your looking for and i can snag scraps and rems for ya. alot of square and rec. tube as well. for link mounting cross members and stuff.

also for shocks and bumps and stuff like that there is a huge offroad everything under the sun type expo/swapmeet a couple times a year in LA where people are trying to kick last years used stuff down the road for cheap to get this years latest greatest thing.

[Uncle Cracker]

any 1/4 inch plate you can snag would be fantastic
and if you can get a date for that 4x expo
(and buy my motorhome )
that would be cool also





more cage removed and front sheet metal

[Uncle Cracker]

i know we don't have too many toyota guys in our group but,,, i have a bobbed long bed w/ cage and spare tire carrier, 63 inch chevy springs(with or without
the A-arms and piggy back shocks)
U-bolt flip kits, near new 4 inch lift axle-forward
front springs ** FOR SALE**

[chuckanut105]

Might know someone interested.

[EJ21]

Me too. let me know how much.

[chrisrigby]

yeah how much

[Uncle Cracker]

the u-bolt flip kit has been claimed, just make me an offer on what you might want
P.S. suspension parts won't be available for a few weeks so i can move the truck around

[chuckanut105]

That is exactly how the rear 3-link is done on my JK. You will love it!!!!

[Uncle Cracker]

i'm so excited

josh and i have been working on some ideas, along with chris (one of the owners of "west
coast") ,, i've been all over the web looking at
pro-built rigs,trying to have my sh(t together
when the money comes in. i've decided not to buy a "kit" (maybe bits or pieces).
if everything works out like i planned,,i'll be going to see richard about some ORIs

[Uncle Cracker]

no changes no money (yet)

[Uncle Cracker]

it's been a long time since any changes

this weekend i stripped all the accessories
off the motor and replaced the broken timing chain cover, repaired all the oil leaks.
trimmed the hood, and cut off the old shock towers. more cutting next weekend





oh,, by the way, the transmission housing on the 4runner is cracked,,,bleeding right out the side anybody have a 4L60E housing laying around

[Lake_v2]

Collateral damage from engine mounts?, i may know of a good core 4l60, if willing to swap parts from one case to another

[Uncle Cracker]

not touching the 4runner until after my truggy is done>>> no. 1 priority in life right now
