    Thanks. It really is low now, its just deceiving because of how much I have the front fenders/wells clearance from my 37's on LT.

    Haha I'll pop on over didn't know we had a Chicago land thread. And I meant no disrespect from that. Sorry if it seemed like it. It was just my way of subbing to this awesome build! ;)

    I figured you were being funny was all. And yeah we have a thread, it doesn't always move like some of the others, but there is generally a lot going on.

    We are always interested in getting to know others and spend some time out on the trail.

    My next trip is going to be to Harlan, KY April 4-6, if you can swing it you should come. One of the best parks out there, trails from easy to ridiculous and good times for all.

    The best part is the easy trails lead to the hard trails so there's always plenty of action to see! Stay tuned :D

    Hmmm, sounds like a good time! Keep me posted I'll see what I can do. I have some "fun" money now that I have my internship so we'll see.

    If there's one trip you make this year, this should be it.

    I will start saving my pennies I guess lol. Who puts it on?

    I may head out to moab too if my gf (soon to be fiance) ends up out there for her REU this summer. That's still up in the air though.

    It used to be the April Fools Toyota Crawl put on by the Kentucky mountain crawlers, but the formal event hasn't been held in about 3 years, everyone just keep showing up :D

    Mainly 90% Toyotas, and 100% fun and good people.

    Forgot to post this one yesterday. Anti-cone ring is 1/2"x1/8" bar rolled on edge and welded to the inner ring.

    Well got one wrapped up last night, and pulled one of my 90° valve stems in two :( Sucks to ruin a $7 valve stem. Getting some more today.

    Got another beadlock finished up last night. Twin stick shifter supposed to arrive today!!! Not so patiently waiting for the postman...

    Going to nail out some stuff on Supra TT's truck this weekend. We are slated to replace all the heim joints in his steering, reinstall his leaf pack he so graciously loaned me last time we wheeled, and maybe install his supacharga :D

    Stay tuned :D

    And came up with this as well:

    20140227_113123_zps5a509ba6_6594c7bb37cc942a678affb7b78683864f051d34.jpg

    For my dads 1949 F-1 Project we have been working on. I have lots of time in this guy...started like this:

    20130331_151713_zps3c23bfe3_6325c0f029dd9df41aa39e9654c39ddf4ffa5498.jpg

    And everything is brand new or completely rebuild, including hand polishing fasteners/etc.

    20140130_181235_zpsbded8f54_ecb925b0f2e7feee32744092a4333f42a5da487a.jpg

    I definitely have too much going on. But its fun:D

    Can you show an up close pic of the lower link on the axle of your Tacoma close to the diff? I'm using a ruff stuff link kit and it does not fit on the axle, I'd like to see how you did it on your dana 60

    Lemme see what I can find. And that's why I used a 78-79 D60 theres more tube on the drivers side of the diff so you can land a bracket on it ;)

    Here's a pic from when the axle was pulled out to fully weld up all the brackets:

    Hope this helps, its the best I could find.

    Thanks that's perfect, I might need to customize the bracket, there's no other way to get it in there. Sweet build btw

    Thanks! There's much more in store, hopefully getting some of it done this weekend like twin sticks on the FJ case, and Possibly getting my PSC pump and pulley installed for the PS system :D

    How much tube did you use on the bed? I figured 80 feet for a bed and front bumper.
