Congrats,marriage is a wonderful institution for the crazy....just kindin almost 10 yrs for me..im not real happy with my rear mounts, but theres not many options for leaf spring.Seriously thinkin 4 link front,i have 14in coilovers and link material. thanks for the pics.

[Goose]

wow, that axle looks like it belongs there.
nice job!

[854RUN]

Ok time for some updates. I put a summit 9000lb winch on; witch is really a Tmax EW-9000 accept $200 cheaper. Some specks on the winch:  6.60hp, Gear Reduction Ratio 172:1, 3-stage planetary gears. It was $460 after shipping compared to $600 to $700 for one with tmax stickers instead of summit stickers  . I wonted to keep it clean looking so I mounted it behind the factory bumper. Hand to trim the bottom of the bumper and cut a hole in the top to get to the free spool switch and cut out the plastic (skirt) on the bottom of the bumper, but all and all I think it look pretty good. I put some green lines in pix where i put some supports (3/4"x 1/8" tube)

Clean work with the integrated winch. Looks really good. Again man nice T100 I want to build one of these next.

[854RUN]

Thanks man, the next thing i do will be a dual t/c (getting up that rock in the pic shaved a few thousand miles off my) clutch but it is a right hand r150 tranny so my only real option is to pull my r151 and duals out of my runner and i don't really wont to do that. I also thought about getting a 5.1:1 first gear for my r151 in my runner and putting the 4.3:1 first gear into the r150 

[Goose]

lookin good.
Hows the winch perform?
Also, hows the dual shock setup workin in the front?
Is it all that much better than a single?

[86bobbedtoy]

scott: I think hes runing duals because hes alot heavier than minis.

[Goose]

Well thats what im wondering heath.   

[854RUN]

Have not really had a chance to try the winch out, just winching up my driveway and for that it rocked. As for the front shocks, ya i am heavier than a mini but the shock are valved pretty lite and the springs are soft as well so two are in order but the ride is really smooth, like a caddy   

[Goose]

nice...
In one of the pics it looks like your shackle might hit your Cat on compression... does it?
sick truck though.
Id really like to hear how that winch does, I like summit, and they usually build good hardcore products.
I might even end up going with one of theirs if your real happy with it.

[854RUN]

YA the shackle is almost always on the cat, really irritating every little rock I hit that day it the shackle would knock agents the cat. But I am in the process of fixing that this week. The cat is massive, I think I will rotate it 90* so it will lay flat and out of the way of the shackle. I will defiantly let you know how the winch dose I was hoping there would have been more snow and I would need to us it but not yet. I assume it will do really good since it is really a Tmax but who knows.
