79yota build(wheeling pics)

[boggerunner]

try this setup, u dont like how high it sits with them on the leaf perches, and the frame, doesnt it sag down at all when u lower the jack, and didnt u want to run 38's or sumthing?

[toytank]

i dont know i gave up tonight so perhaps tommorro . you talk to your boss at all today

[toytank]

thats what i was thinking but i do love the effort you out into paint

[boggerunner]

thanks, im drinkin some budlight, and i havent eaten  dinner, so im kinda buzzed, but now its time for chips and salsa

[toytank]

ummm chip and salsa!

[boggerunner]

yep, and did i talk to guy or dave? nope, just robert this morning, why have u heard anything?
am i fired too?
ohh well, that job sucked anyway, more time to work on the truck

[toytank]

until your broke like me gots to get some work soon

[Birfailed]

Keep buggin the crap outta Pure.  Call, and ask for Rick Benson...talk to him direct for a mechanics position.

[boggerunner]

made some progress on the pass. side, and assembled part of my high steer

[Birfailed]

Phil we need more progress on this buildup!  Don't let your thread die!  Get out to the garage and weld or cut something!

[boggerunner]

i finished the pass. side assembly, and started mocking up the rear. still have along way to go, but its gettin closer, and these are not my new tires, the new front end is to wide to fit the boggers back on and have room to work around it.

[Birfailed]

Oh nice!  You got that new welder layin down some fatty beads!  I like it.  Do I see your rear driveshaft in place too?  Get that done?  Oh, you definetly need to run those tires!  Those things look mean!

[6.72:1]

I like where this is going!

[toytank]

gettin some sh done i see lookin good

[boggerunner]

Man that welder lays down some sweet beads. and i got the tabs and brackets for the top 3link bar tacked on, and the bottom bars built, now i need to move one of the bars on my A.O.R sliders foward 4 inches so i can mount the bottom links to the frame.

[boggerunner]

i still need to gusset the rear top link on the axle, and the front top links are off a semi trailor, so they are plenty stronr.

i had to lift the cab 4 inches to get them tacker in place, but i need to lift it another 4 or 5 inches to fully weld them up

[Birfailed]

lol hope I don't have to lift my cab (Exo)!!!

[boggerunner]

i got one of the bottom links mounted to the frame, and took some pics flexin out, now i need some longer coils, and i might try to narrow the rear frame section,  i think my boggers are gonna rub a lot!!
and i either need to notch the rear cab mount or build some bumpstops

[toytank]

sweet

[toytank]

i think after you mount your coils id romove the rest of the frame you dont need it for anything

[Yota87Truck]

Wow, that is looking amazing.  Soon all the hard work is going to pay off.

[boggerunner]

so i got after it tonight, the 3 link  is done, i just need to get some longer coils and mount some shocks, here are some pics of my truck finally off the jack stands after 4 months

[boggerunner]

i cut a foot or so off the frame, time for a new ass end, im  tempted to cut off the whole cage and start over, it looks like , but i dont have the $$ for that right now, so im just gonna redo the one im stuck with for now.  this is sittin on stock 90 4runner coils, im buying some 92 front cherokee coils on saturday, should be able to handle some more weight and flex pretty good, plus i can get the set for $25

[boggerunner]

ohh yeah, the last pic is my drivers floor board, used to have a piece of sheetmetal zip screwed over it with some carpet, good fix huh?  but im thinkin i still need a new cab and start fresh, but for now, back to the tin, and old muddy carpet

[6.72:1]

It looks like you have a little drafting problem....

[boggerunner]

i welded in a piece of box for the new rear crossmember, and angled my bottom buckets.  also got some 1" bolts to hold the coils in place. now i just need to finish my top buckets. the frame was pathetic where i need to mount my buckets, so i plated them with some 3/16" steel.  now tomorrow night i can finish the buckets, and move on the the driveshafts and fuel tank

[boggerunner]

i finally got my top buckets almost done, im going to brace them to the frame with a piece of 5/16 up the sides, and im getting better at overhead welding 

[boggerunner]

it might be overkill, but i hate having to repair underengineered junk on the trail, so i used 1" bolts for my coils. and now my truck is finally off those dam jackstands, time to get this thing running again

[Yota87Truck]

is it going to be ready to go wheelin on presidents day?  I am taking my truck over to moab that weekend!

[boggerunner]

im goin the first weekend in april, but it will be ready for that, if i stop takin on other projects, i [picked up a turbod rx-7 yesterday, ive been toyin with the option to put the rotory in the crawler, it has 200 ponies stock
