    I cant wait either lol, I have to go back tuesday when the hobby shop is back open to finish up the front end. I may end up leaving the truck there another day to get everything finished up that mechanically needs to be done. The front end needs to be finished getting rebuilt and then the transmission needs to come out and the new one needs to go in

    yeah true lol, Ill be putting my Tacomas old 265/75r16s on for the time being. so a lot of weight from the steelies and the super swampers will help that little engine out haha. Plus it'll help with the steering on it since the tires are damn near 4 inches skinnier lol.

    yeah I had the hub bolts up but no I did not have the wheel under it, Ill be doing that when I go in tomorrow.

    I just got done talking with Jason at Low range offroad and he hooked me up with a replacement rotor and is getting sent out. I really do thank him for all of his (and all of low range offroads) help with what happened to the rotor. Can say that I'll be buying parts from you guys again! Gained another customer, you guys rock and have awesome customer service!

    got my front end rebuilt last weekend, just need to figure out why my locking hub dial assembly doesnt want to slide in like its supposed to. Other than that, front end is rebuilt, put 2" wheel spacers on from trail gear so i can fit my TRD Offroad wheels and my old 265/75r16 Nitto Terra Grapplers. The old super swampers had a death wobble at 28mph lol, once the "new" tires were on the death wobble went away haha.

    I still need to get that damned transmission in with getting the driveshaft cut down for it. Just waiting on my FSM I bought off Ebay to get in so I can start on putting in the new wiring harness then I'll be buying some 24"x54" sheets of 22 gauge sheet metal so I can redo the joke of a floor thats in there lol, so rotted, but its only gonna cost $106 with shipping for those 2 sheets of 22 gauge sheet metal. Once I get these things done...the truck will be pretty much streetable again and then I can start working on getting her some new wheels and tires and some flexy suspension so she'll be trail worthy finally

    got a small thing done today, finally went out and messed with my passenger side locking hub dial and figured out why it wasnt wanting to slide in or operate properly. the spring that holds the clutch to the dial itself came out of the teeth inside the clutch. So I just took the whole thing apart and put it back together and it all went right back together

    Think I had that Haynes manual that Spruce posted. Had all the wiring diagrams which helped me read wires and get gauges hooked up.

    That thing's a collectors item, you should memorize it so you don't fuck up the pages with grease.
