How much width did you gain over the old toy axles? You cut the drivers side down 2" correct? Do you have a front shot of the truck from a ways back?

What pitman arm did you have modified? I assume it was the old toyota hysteer pitman arm. I am guessing WFO did that also.

I don't have to many good pictures from the front, heres what I have. The pitman arm is stock, no extra bends in it. I gained about 4" or 5" of width, it could have been more but I have a 5" offset on my wheels. The driver side was cut about 2.5"

hahaha.  Did it do the burnout because it doesn't have the rear driveline.  If not I didn't know that you could get a rear diconnect for the 205

 thats :stopit: why would you want rear disconnect.  Front digs are way over rated.  I'd never put one in my rig   :shake:

I have front wheel disconect on my np205. Dan we went though all 4 gears in FWD low.

Some bad news for today though, my clutch went out :snare: I believe the throw out bearing was on the precher plate all the time and caused it to blow :tantrum: So I have a center force clutch on it way.

The way I see it is that the FWD gears are being seperated from the RWD gears, plus thats what all the shops call it around here.

Well my truck is parked until I rebuild my np465, since something broke on the inside. I'm guessin it was a gear, it makes some really bad grinding noises. Also my clutch went out as well, already ordered and received my new Center Force. It's sittin in my garage.

I've been brakin the engine in and makin sure everything is workin right. I am weedin out wires from the toyota wire harness so I can have headlights and wipperes. I still need to make bump stops for the front so my oilpan and tierod welln't smack each other. I'm just don't know where I want them yet. I need to do make some kind of vent on the hood to let all the hot air from the engine out. Also I still need to make a tranny tunnel as well. Pretty much I've just been driven my truck and not workin on it, I've been slackin.

You could try mounting a cheap electric fan under the hood on push blowing the hot air out through some speed holes drilled in the hood. I think holes would look better than some big gay scoop or something.

Hears a pic of the other side of the tranny tunnel. Also got a speedo gage and fuel gage. The weathers been really nice, about 80 degrees, hear so I took the doors back off and have been driving around town, slow and fast. My truck's temp never got over 180 degrees so I feel good about that, but once I start to crawl and work it hard it goes over 200. So I have some fans that I took off my old Dodge and I'm going to put at least one of them on the Toy-vie. Also have some louvers from a New Yorker that where on my old Dodge that will be going on the Toy-vie as well.

I desided to move my tierod to the front of the axle for now, which ment I have to lenthin it about 3 inches. I did it because I'm still not sure how I want to built the bump stops in the front so the tierod and oilpan welln't smack each other when the frontend hops. I used 1.5" ID shedule 80 that I have layin around the house, it works for now.
