    Dropped off at Cali fabrication for regear and hydro assist and to rework the steering box a bit forward.

    This is absolutely mind blowing. I cannot imagine having the knowledge in my head to figure out how to do something so cool. Awesome job man, I am highly impressed with your ability.

    Ty. To be honest I really didn’t realize how Much work it was going to be. I really learned as I went and kind of got lucky with my placement of things. It was good to take it to a shop for the hydro and regear. Califabrication looked over things and tweaked the steering box forward and engine brace. I pick it up tomorrow. 29B2A1BC-2E61-4953-8C0A-3DBB4213EECC.jpg 9ACB99E2-2EAF-4ACF-9A11-46C402E49C17.jpg

    I did end up having to move it forward. IShould not have gone with the predrilled location in frame plate.

    To clear larger tires I always tell people to push it through the core support. It’s a huge limiting factor when you can’t go any farther toward because the steering hits. I regret not pushing mine farther but won’t be re drilling that anytime soon.

    Got my exhaust Done. Have a few things to wrap up. Front drive line and I have a leak on my tcase seal. That is annoying but not hard. I’d like to figure out some protection on my tranny pan too. Good to drive it again.

    What kind of caster numbers are you running? Ever box up your track bar brackets? Cannot remember, did you install a marlin taco box too?

    I set the whole thing up at 0 caster cause I didn’t know shit. It’s at 6-7 degree now. 8degree is prob best for hydro assist. I am not getting full turning radius with my current steering arms and pitman arm. I would like to do something about it but maybe down the road. Drives well. I’m pumped to be driving it again. I didn’t plate the panhard bracket at frame cause I was/am impatient and wanted to get things running.

    Great build, I have also thought about a custom fj 80 front axle for the front to keep the weight down. Keep up the good work.

    I'm not sure but somewhere near the same width as stock, for right now it's just a dream. I have a lot of work to get it to that point.
