    LOL I like the added touch of the curb flex! Pretty truck, it needs some dents on it for character!

    Sure, still waiting on RCV for my un-fucked axle shaft, new brake rotors need to be turned down FYI. Don't buy a master cylinder from rock auto. Maybe this week it will be done? Not sure, I gave up lol. One day I'll get a text saying it's done, one day!

    Whenever I change something or add something and it takes 4x longer than I planned I try to remind myself it took Toyota engineers like 1000s of man hours to design all the systems in one of these trucks and I'm not gonna get it all right in 10.

    Cut up and sitting in a pile waiting for me.

    This. There's lots of little things to button up. Fighting a shitty "NEW" master cyclinder. Waiting for a new correct shaft. Tearing down all the brakes and diagnosing fucked up new parts takes time. It's frustrating and time consuming. People don't realize how long it takes. Removing the entire drivetrain because inchworm didn't tighten bolts they should have buried inside there adapter. It's a frustrating as hell. I'll tear apart the front end one more time this week to put the new shaft in and then it'll be "done". I am not gunna give back a vehicle to a an owner half done. And brakes that are not stoppin 100%. It's bad buisness. And more then anything unsafe . Jimmy has the new MC and the new shaft shipped last Wednesday. So we are looking good for next week!

    What's up guys!! I promise I will find the time to finish off this build thread by the end of the year. Until then here are some pictures from the maiden voyage! 230 miles today's after only 100 miles around town. Everything worked great she cruises nicely at 70mph and of course does great off road! I met up with a couple friends and hit Prairie City in Sacramento. Enough talk here's some pics!

    Thanks so much everyone! @Fernando it won't be the last time, I like that place a lot I'm sure I'll be back this summer.

    I think this may be my favorite picture from the day, it really shows all of the hard work that went into this beast paying off. Both axles flexed out and the body is level as can be. image.jpg
