    Let me know how that works. I’ll be making some shock brackets soon and that would help

    Careful with those man. When they bite into material and kick back it can be bad times. I never use the guard or handle on my grinder but I put it back on when I have those blades.

    Until the soft aluminum gums up the diamonds and needs to be cleaned.

    Rear bumper/tire swingout/holder of other stuff is next on my list. My 4runner is off getting a proper roof rack right now so no wheeling for me. Moab killed what was left of the bushings in my front control arms.


    Just prior to the trip I had to rebuild the rear link mounts on the frame with 3/16" plate and cardboard. Hope the cardboard holds up.



    Also did a cab mount chop with Insain fab plates. I'll have to upload some finished pictures.

    I might be re-gearing my re-geared and rear lockered 4runner. 4.56s and 35s are ok but I'm thinking 4.88s would be better with the v6 4speed. 4.56s were great with the 255s. Not money I want to spend right now though, it will come with a Diamond housing if I do.
