Hey Anthony,
I'd angle those sliders as well. Mine are angled and it seems like it gives me a little more protection and I just plain like the look. Blackdog's were flat mounted for the first couple rocks...

Now they're angle mounted! But anyways, I thought they looked funny when they were flat.

they always look a little funny when you don't angle them. I made my own out of 1.5 schedule 80 pipe. I angled them by putting a 1" block of wood up against my running board put my pipe up next to it and welded it all together.

Thanx guys for the input on the sliders.

Now just need to make some time to GET ER DONE.

OK i got some time to get the sliders installed. I think the look pretty good angled. Now need to get them painted.

HOnke , Thank you for reading, I have learned alot from this build, i have never done anything like this before just minor mods . It really helped to have good quality parts from Marlin to get things going in the right direction. And alot of helpful information that is posted on this board. I just need more time to work on it. But i will keep everyone posted that is keep up on the build.

Today i got some time to work on my truck some more. I built a square driveline for it. Turned out pretty good for my first one. Still need to take it back out and get some paint on it. I'm not sure if i will use grease or use graphite slip plate like we use on the auto transport trucks. i think it will look cleaner and be way less messy.

Grinding it wasnt to bad. Took about 2 hours of straight grinding.

why did it take 2 hours? I did all the grinding on my friends 86 4runner when I was helping him swap in his 60's and to grind down both sides nice and flush it took me like 45 minutes or so. I also went through his cut wheels pretty fast doing it though. The truck looks very nice though, it seems like you are doing good work. $Beer Chug\'n$

Its all coming together Anthony! You just need a few more Sundays and you will be enjoying the fruits!

It took me about two hours to grind my frame smooth, most the time was spent changing wheels! And not to mention I used an angle grinder to cut off ALL of the IFS stuff!!

Keep on keepin on.....

Well the time has come to move this thing out of the garage.

I got everthing bolted up enough to take it outside and flex the front a little. Still have a bunch of little things to do like fix the pinion angle i pitched it a little to much.

I think I'm just going to shim it to get the front down some and when i go duals i will fix it the right way.

But with the up coming move to washington this will have to do for now. Here is a few pictures of what my junk looks like outside the cave

nice work -- cool pics. your truck is too clean!

Anthony · « **Reply #84 on:** Oct 12, 2005, 08:44:27 AM »

Thank you all for the complimentson my truck. I am very happy the way it is turning out. I still have allot of little things to do yet. The major one is fix the pinion angle.

But i wont be happy till i do it right. Then it will go to the exhaust shop to get some new pipe. I am also gathering parts to install duels. Marlin's adapter plate to install duals to an auto will be coming out soon. $Beer Chug\'n$

how is that going to work, You have to tear down the entire transmission to get the t-case off. Don't you?

I'm not to sure yet. I have talked to Inchworm on his adapter and he said that you just have to change out the park mechanism.So you have park. I don't think you have to tear the whole thing apart.just remove the bottom pan. But Marlin is making a adapter plate that will be out in another 6 months or so. I'm going to wait and see. I know it will be very strong and he may come up with a better way to install it. This is all new to me so I'm am reading and learning as i go. so in the meantime i am going to gather the parts and build the duals. By then the adapter will be out. If not then i will install a manual.

Not much work on the project lately. Just doing little things here and there. Should be moving up to Washington in the next couple of months. I did get a used Warn 8000. It needs a little work. I also built my reserve air tank and got it mounted in the rear, Using the spare tire brackets.Other then that not much progress.
