    @JLink and I air hammered all the rivets out. One snag we hit was compressor size matters.

    Not getting involved. Shackle flip is easy. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it:p

    But really you shouldn’t do a shackle flip cause TAcoma world says so

    enough to have fun
    @MY50cal and I did it by drilling the center of the rivet head a bit and then plasma cutting them off. That's seemed to work much faster than drilling them out

    Or daily a sway bar less truck....

    Not a super productive Sunday but had a lot of fun!

    Went up to see Joe & Jerry first this morning at Jerry’s shop. Witnessed the beginning of the rear suspension job:


    Beef custom springs for Joes trail limo:

    Jerry broke out the torch to break the u bolts free:

    Only stayed for a bit then headed down to Ants in NJ.

    Fucker was passed out when I got there but I banged loud enough on his porch door to finally wake him up. :laughing:

    We got the plasma set up out and cut up plates for the sliders:


    https://youtu.be/NIc9eFvjNNY


    Cut the tube as well:

    The rest of the time we modded the FERD gas tank skid to clear the new pump he installed back in the fall:


    I was basically an extra set of hands to assist. :oops:

    Good day with a few friends in PA & NJ. :D

    The Fox RR coils are rusty AF... Thinking about this for a replacement when I get around to doing it:

    I have zero interest in another RR coil. Also, they're red. :cool:
