Sweet picture, the Long Travel really adds tons of capability to the truck

 

Got to hold it down while mark is out..

 

Lol...almost time to start rebuilding the drivers fenderwell/firewall...

 

I wheeled the memorial weekend. didn't get many pics as I was on my side half the time

 

Almost done with surgery on the drivers side:




I am a little dissapointed too, the upper uniball is maxed out (contacting the misalign) before my bump stops are completely compressed. For now I will run higher pressure in them, but should probably get a sleeve to space it down ever so slightly from the mounting can (3/16").

Also got my speed sensor kit made up and ready to install, got the right gear from Toyota as well to get is "close"...no more GPS speedo

 

Chu making in there to teh fenderwell?

 

It's hard to see but I am looking out my driver window at my front fender. This is how most of the hard trails are.



This is how you drive 75% of the time. (My buddies 93' D60 SAS truck)



Damn jeeps! Note, that rear driver tire is 3 feet off the ground

 

Man guys we are slacking in the chicagoland thread...

Passenger side wheelwell is complete now as well, all welded and seam sealed up:









And the drivers side is all painted and fender is hung:

 

Hell you cut more off the fender than is even left....is that even called a fender?

 

Oh hell ya looks great mark! Windrock Friday till Sunday we got room for ya

 

Waiting on my battery relocation shiat to move the battery to the bed since I have no room on the wheelwell now

anyways...I started a build thread and am starting to play catch-up on a few years of mods:

Yours is cute too

Good yab momods

 

Yep I have no problems getting my aftermarket ones to pop out, but the OEM's just dont budge. I am using 1 1/4" sch 40 so it hits right on the inner "star" and hitting a piece of 5/8" plate on my sidewalk, and from the looks of it ALOT harder than you are too. I am talking full overhead all the way to the ground slams and that damn clip wont let go. I have heard of "stubborn" ones that won't seperate using thismethod, but what are the chances that I could get 6 stubborn ones, right? The only thing I have succeeded in doing is bruising the shit out of my hand.

So it looks like you got urself a spare then, huh?

 

Yea and another oem

 

"if you have any excess grease in there it gets all over everything including anything within a 5 foot radius" (Quickly changes subject) SO WHAT WE ARE GUNNA DO HERE

Lol!

 

Started remounting everything on the passenger wheelwell...started by scavenging the ABS pump bracket from the old wheellwell:



Welded it in the old spot weld locations:



All mounted up:



Then moved on to the PS reservoir...hacked up the old bracket and welded it in place:



Finally started on the battery relocation a bit...got the distribution block mounted up and wired...sans the 0 gauge that will run front to back...I am using a (1) 0 gauge to (4) 4 ga audio distribution block I picked up:

 

PS thx mark I was nearly 2 quarts low following your tip. Should fix issue now
