    Well I'm going to have to take the front driveshaft back to Oliver's. One of the yokes will not bolt up to my triple drilled flange on the case or the toyota flange on the front axle.

    On a good note I have the entire front axle back together and the truck is sitting on its own weight. Painted, clearanced the remaining knuckleball, had to trim the upper knuckleball gussets to clear the rings and wipers. I decided to go with lime green for my accent color and am painting my tcase crossmember now.

    Not a bad idea but I want to run the slip joint on the axle side since it's beefier than the tube and will be more prone to rock hits there. The yoke that doesn't work is on the upper side. I did flip it around and it wont fit the triple drilled or the fj60 flange.

    Yeah man always liked lime green so I figured I'd give it a shot. Now I just gotta figure out how I want to paint my beadlocks when I build them. Lime green wheels and black rings or just lime green rings with black wheels

    Springs need to be wheeled, they are pretty stiff plus there's hardly any weight in the rear. Shackle angle could be flatter too. There's going to be some tweaking here and there but I got it wheelable and that was my goal.
