    Yeah 100%. If they are all flat and shit then they are prob money. I couldn’t clock anymore unless I raised my truck up a few inches. Shaft is super close to trans and shifter as it is.

    Layout 9. Although layout 4 looks kind of cool, like you are playing OG doom on DOS.

    It’s pretty easy to change layouts but I’ll prob run a large gauge like mph in middle w small shit around it that has alarms if there is a problem.

    The screen is literally the size of one of the max iPhones. It’s 7x3.5 minus the black bezel. It’s pretty fucking small.

    Final product minus the vband and o2 bung. Had to extend it a bit and hone out. Kinda get a better idea of how big it is in this pic.

    @malburg114 @02hilux

    do you see any issues with this? About 15 degrees forward and prob the 5-7 degrees in from axle mount to tower.

    Would recommend turning that shock axle mount 90*. That way your building in the ability to handle the shock moving when the leaf springs are cycling.
    Otherwise being mounted in the same axis (as pictured) your putting more strain on the shock shaft and can risk bending if pushed further than the shock mount bushings can handle.

    What toy said. Rotate the the lower mount. I’d imagine you’ll have to angle the tops toward the center of the truck to clear the tire at articulation. I found angling the shock tower towards the front and mounting the shock mount off the front of the axle tube help combat axle wrap a little too.

    Ok. I’m actually having a slight issue w that in the front. May have to notch it slightly.

    Those come w a natural offset that is a bit too much. Prob gonna have to cut it off and mount the flat part instead to get it more vertical.

    Thanks for the info guys.



    I may just add a few pieces for now. I have to get this piece done and running. Once I get a new space I’m gonna pull bed and do back. Idk if I’m even gonna do nice paint like the front for now. Prob just spray paint it. I’m super under water right now.

    The Toyota gods have been on my side the last few days. Got stock condenser in and I’m pretty sure it will work. Lost the grill and she looks buck toothed as fuck but that can be fixed easy. Winch gonna be slightly farther than I want but fuck it.

    Anti-wrap bar brace. These frame welds are such a pain in the ass. Shit everywhere, helmet hitting everything and it got a little crooked on me and I didn’t even catch it.

    “ “

    Plate got crooked. Its fine. I just hate when you spend time fabbing shit and you let the heat warp something or you do something crooked. Just annoying especially at this point.

    Working on mount to brace now. Typical AW bar setup from what I’ve seen at least.

    Yeah, beating heims into mounts sucks. Fucked myself there a few times. I learned to put washers on both sides to weld and tight mounts. So much easier.
