Another week of working ond only one day to work one my truck (can't miss the Superbowl) - life is not fair.
Yesterday I spent relocating my t-case crossmember back 2 1/2" to give me more room in front of my 4.3. Now I know I can get a fan in there without any problems. I used the old torsion bar mounts as pins for my custom fab t-case crossmember brackets. Now my engine mounts line up almost directly over the front axle. Sweet! Tack welded the engine mounts in place just in case I have to torch them off for another unexpected showstoppper. I was hoping I could get rid of a 2" body lift but if I do that now I'd never the distributor cap off and might have a hard time even getting the valve covers off.
I never imagined all the things I would have to consider to engineer this build up.
I have not had a chance to look my Front Range package, but I did finally get it. Toyota did make a full time locked hub of rear axles but I'm going selectable. Yes, I'll be checking hubs on every beer brake - I mean piss break, but the looks of confusion
will make that worthwhile. 8)
