this work was done by some dumbass that ripped me off and messed up my truck so I jerked it outta there and the rest is my own work so if you see me on the road watch out cause parts might just fall off
 
my wheels just miss the coilovers but as you can see..... here is my new axle just needing link brackets, and my new to me disc brake conversion.

Here is a pic of me driving around the lake today
I had major death wobble at 40mph until I noticed that I had a flat front tire.... but I got run flats so I really couldnt tell it was flat.... i need smaller run flats when I get my 38's

:driver: In that rig you will not ever need reverse.........
...........with me driving
 
Thats sweet man. Its nice to see the 4runner builds start coming up... I guess they've just been too new. Maybe in a few years I'll SAS mine, but the K5 is suiting me for now.
 
when you build the link brackets on that new housing, i think you should seriously condsider running the wishbone joint bolt vertically, rather than side to side

the way you have it now, the only thing supporting the side loads is that snap ring...... not the way the joint was designed to be loaded


that rig looks like fun, cool to see somethign different, everyone has seen backhalfed TJs, but this is the first tubed back half runner ive seen

thats the only reason that I am changing the axle... i was gonna chop that rear brace off and have the joint moved vertical like I told (had many sketches/pics of the link vertical even told him that it had to be vertical 20 times) the dumbass guy who started building my truck, but he said it was impossible for the joint to go that way so he put it hortizontal...... dumb fuc!
BTW that axle cost me $1400 to build the wrong way......
 
I need a rear axle shaft with the backing plate and good wheel bearing......
I am gonna go to pull-a-part tomorrow afternoon if nobodys got one on the cheap....
call me if you have one
