    And it bolts in through fixed holes, not slots with lateral adjustment?

    Correct, its rigidly fixed at 3 points; 2x hangers with bushings, and 1x solid mount into the rear crossmember where the front driveshaft bolts on. Zero adjustability. :annoyed:
    Bushings look to be in pretty good shape aswell even given their age. I need to check under another 1st gen and compare what im seeing to theirs and try and figure this out.

    Maybe just trying to remove the front diff or the mounts will give you a clue?

    Let me know if you want any measures or want to another 1gen to compare too if you can't pinpoint anything. I can always swing around one of these days and anything once I get back from the Rubicon this weekend.

    Scooted around Hollister last weekend.

    Other updates:
    Still stuck with 2wd. I believe I've fixed the differential front shift issue. And I have new brackets to weld on to move my limit straps slightly and add more adjustability.
    Unfortunately the OEM tundra axles I need are on international backorder. Until I can find those Im staying in 2x prerunner mode

    I’ll post some updates for on the new air system/ locker assembly later this week.
