When are you gonna finish the sweet paint?

That's my roommates job...but he's lazy so I'm betting on it staying white for a while.

 

[StretchASU]

Got back to work on the 4 link...truss mostly done. Still needs plate and go fast holes. Cuz that's what makes toyotas fast right?

 

[TJcrawler97]

[StretchASU]

Is your shock hoop oriented so that the shock has to be mounted on the top of the axle? If you can't fit it vertically, or you need that much up-travel, you could rotate your axle-end shock mount so that it's on the back side of the axle, to get it a few inches lower.

If it won't work off the top or behind the axle I can always shorten the wheelbase an inch or so to make it work off the back of the axle tube. It's really going to come down to cutting everything out from under the truck and going from there. I've got some ideas for the shock mounts depending on how everything lines up.

This weekend either Mtn City or Harlan will be the last weekend on the Toy axles and 38's. Going tomorrow to pick up my tires...

Keeping the Toy tcase?

For now...linking the back so Im not AS worried about snapping the output from the back end hopping and wrapping.

A 5.3/465/205 is the idea for later on.
