yea you do...

Ah....peer pressure the greatest form of motivation....

 

Threw the gas tank back in. Put some weight on the back end ( no this is not where my bumper and tire will be), and......finally set pinion angle and tac'd perches on at ride height. Not bad for 3 months of work IMO

 

First time the truck has seen sunlight in a year.
Everything tac'd up. Gonna see if it feels all right and drive it a few 100'

 

Pretty sure my pinion is set wrong. Damn it, back in the dungeon it goes.

 

Remind me about all the fun I had today, what not to do, what went right the 3rd time I did it.

 

A little victory lap.

 

A little lay out to see how things will sit.

 

digging that table

 

Thanks it's pretty handy at times.

 

Id like to mount my shocks at 90 degree for tuning purposes. If I'm correct I should be able to place the mounts at the 90 degree mark. I have approximately 3/8"of shock travel left on droop, and 3/8" of travel left at full bump. The difference between the arcs at the 90 degree mark is 1/2". The 90 degree mark is 1/4" from both arcs.

 

I'll Strap it here.
Just about Bumped here. ( ignore marks on cardboard)

Fiberglass is not set perfectly. Just threw it on to see how clearance was. I can bump up another inch or 2. Should clear no problem.

 

Made some cheaters for the bender. Before calling it quits for a week or so.

 

tundra axle or no? im worried with my links im gonna get screwed on up travel because im out past my fiberglass at full bump. and i dont really wanna deal with glassworks to get 7" glass

 

Stock axle for now. I'll use it until it breaks. Im looking for a tundra axle tho. Just not much in my area.

 

Glass worx good luck with that shit show. I ended up going thru kartek. They had them to me in a few weeks.

 

have pics at full bump at the frame? what tire size? sorry so many questions haha

 

heard camburg can get them also. ill have to see, just dont want my truck looking tarded with 7" in the rear and 4" in the front haha and i dont really wanna drop 900 for everything plus paint and installing them.

 

Hey man I noticed your hood is fastened by the hood locks. I have a fiberglass scoop hood, was curious how you like the hood locks compared to the OEM style latch system?
