badass!
Thanks, man!  Post up more of yours!  I've always wanted a 1st gen. Runner.  Super classic-- wish my top was removeable like yours.

I think this type of mod would be easier with a Ruff Stuff, Diamond, or a TG housing as long as your diff webbing was centered enough so that only cutting into the tubing, not the webbing, would be necessary.  My rear axle housing is a Ruff Stuff centered 9.5" Toyota full float LC housing, and the rear perches aren't frenched, but they are low-profile enough to put the springs only a .25" above the axle tubing.  In the front, frenching a custom housing might help for leaf spring guys.  Mind you, I am rolling a trail rig here, no racer, so full gussetting and total housing strength is not so much of an issue for me.  I want balance and reliability.  Still skeptical of my ability to run/tune COs and optimizing link geometry on a trail rig that will see highly variable load weights and on and Offroad conditions.  BUT I admire the guys who can and do run rigs that work well with COs.


If you don't mind me asking how much did they charge you?

That is nice!

When I first saw it I thought to myself, that is a lot of nice work, I hope he did not warp that housing. Then I saw that Bink did it and all was good!!!!

NinjaTurtle,
Out of respect for Bink and Trout who operate very personal and smaller operations, I'll let you ask them how much they'd charge you for some particular work.  They are both on Pirate4x4.com and FB.  I will say that they are both very square businessmen with very fair prices for the quality of work they do, just like what you have probably experienced with Marlin and how he operates.  For my money, I'd say you couldn't get a better value, especially since these guys have most likley forgotten more about badass fab work than most people will ever learn.

Thanks a lot, OOPS.  I've got strong feeling that Bink is gonna get this set up working just right, too.  It says a lot about Bink to those who dont know when guys like you and Paul/BoogerWeldz pay such compliments.
