grinder vs. bumpstop. Winner: grinder.

 

I bought stock in jackstands before starting this project.

 

That's is all that should be coming, plus the quick disconnect.

 

I gutted the interior in September 2007. More than a year and a half now.

 

DO WORK SON!!

What is the hold up? More/different parts?

 

At the car wash

 

Right now I've got this going on:
- grinding off the bumpstops (should be done tonight)
- front axles are at a CV shop in northern NJ
- new alignment cams and #1 pulley are on order from Toyota
- secondary shocks and rear shocks are being built at Fox
- rollcage padding en route to me
- electrical parts en route to me to finish the hard-wiring necessary to pass tech
- cage-mounted wide-angle rearview mirror on route to me
- need to install longer front wheel lugs
- need to grind off the rear shock hoops before bringing it back to the shop
- need to re-bend the alignment cam tabs into place
- need to finalize the fuel cell vent hose routing for tech compliance
- need to figure out how to get more stopping power at the rear wheels. (possible aftermarket/custom master cylinder setup)
- need to hack the e-locker to work in 2wd and 4wd high

Once in the shop:
- weld up the front secondary shock hoops
- fabricate new custom rear shock hoops
- fabricate a mount for the race air pump and filter that feeds clean air to the helmets
- gusset the alignment cam tabs
- weld up a new carrier bearing mounting plate to work with the High Angle Driveline driveshaft and super-duty carrier bearing
- reinforce the engine mounts


Separate from that I have to rewire the trailer, fix the trailer brakes, and repack the wheels on the trailer before the trip to NV. It's a busy summer!

 

God Lawd!

 

I was kinda figuring the stats went like this:

95% Martie time
2% truck time
3% TW/Mike time.

 

You're WAAAAAY off.

 

Hhhmm......................99% martie isn't it?
