    Nah, not wheelin' it til I get those brake lines taken care of. Right now shocks limit flex before the brake lines have any problem.

    They're just on the backburner now because I got other stuff goin' on. ATO this weekend for delivery of a few projects, also gonna be out climbing most of the weekend as well. Grandma's cancer seems to be taking a turn for the worse, so we may have a funeral here soon too. Just got other things on my plate right now.

    I try. Glad you enjoyed it thus far. I've had a ball getting the damn thing together.

    Maybe he's colorblind and just can't see it because it's a blue truck. You insensitive dick.


    :p

    It's true.

    It really is true.

    You asked for 'em:

    Less bulky under there than it used to be:

    [​IMG]

    Total beefcake. All grade 8 hardware, shackles are custom cut, 3/8" thickness. Notice the greasable bolts and bushings that can be changed without taking the bracket or spring off the truck:

    [​IMG]


    Unlike many other designs, ATO's shackle flip actually takes into account the misalignment of the frame with the spring mounting points (y'know, like Toyota's engineers did when they built the truck in the first place). This results in decreased bushing wear and eliminates risk of improper rear axle alignment because your leaf springs are mounted crooked. The frame dovetails at the rear of the truck. The brackets are built to offset this appropriately.

    [​IMG]



    Oh...and I got another toy while up there too...not quite ready to demo it yet (it'll be installed in a few days), but here's a clue... (Burry will probably get it immediately) (Oh, and look at those fucking welds...can you believe a human being did that?)
