Looks good so far! Keep it up.

[ToYocRawleR]

Thanks man, Im thinking about linking the rear with coils but im not sure yet.  I might just get some 63" chevys, the t100's arent cuttin it.

[Duffil]

What is the length on those T100 leaves?  Looks like a 3 leaf + overload?

[ToYocRawleR]

I think 54" I-I, Yea theres 3 + overload

Give me your email. I have some cool articles about setting up rear 4-links. Talks about roll center, instant center, rear steer, all that stuff. I also have a small piece I wrote myself from my own experience in setting them up. For a slightly different use than crawling rocks, but the same rules appply.

[ToYocRawleR]

No way, thats tight!

[83yota]

just make sure you get your geometry right or your going to have a bobble head truck

[Twisted Minis]

Check you email in about an hour or so. It will take some tiem to compile all the info I have.

Thats what the articles are about.

Thanks for the articles, those will definetely help out.  Is the triangulated 4link the best?

[iNfErNaL]

Damn dog that thing's looking good so far!!!...I'll definately be watching this build     

[crawlerdan]

awwww...you made me drool at work

[topar]

  Nice truck.

[Twisted Minis]

Thanks for the articles, those will definetely help out.  Is the triangulated 4link the best?

Triangulated 4 link or a wishbone 3-link would be pretty good. There are benefits and downfalls to every type of setup, so ti mostly depends on what you want.

[ToYocRawleR]

Thanks guys!  Im hoping to have this thing going by the 4th of july.  I will hopefully be taking it to the con on the 5th.

I'll probably wait till after that for the link setup because i want to make sure there will be no driveline issues with the rear axle.

[ToYocRawleR]

This is what it would of looked like with fenders, i might cut them and angle them in to contour with the tube, not sure yet.

[iNfErNaL]

It'll look sweet both ways,with or without fenders.You gonna make it to MCR in September?

[CrazyYota]

trucks HUGE! Like Infernals TACO looks pimp! whos red firstgen? looks sweet

Ha ha...I was gonna ask the same thing about the 1st gen.

[ToYocRawleR]

I finished the 5 spd conversion and installed a bigger brake booster since these fj80 brakes are freakin huge.  Also grooved on my tire a litttle till i couldn't take the smell any more..

[iNfErNaL]

Nice work so far...I NEED MORE!!!!

[ToYocRawleR]

I got my duals together, took my tranny to the shop to get a bearing replaced and bought some more tube for my bed and shock hoops.  Should hopefully have pics later.

[ToYocRawleR]

Anyone interested in buying my rear fj80 full floater axle?

[toy4x4ota]

wht are your plans for steering?

Anyone interested in buying my rear fj80 full floater axle?

why are you getting rid of the FF.

[ToYocRawleR]

I think im going to use DOM and bend up a Zlink, thats my only option right now. 
The only reason i want to get rid of the 80 rear axle is because of the off set pumpkin.  Its basically a mirror image of a front axle.
