[armless71]

oh,i ordered my twin sticks from MC a little while ago.the little things that excite me ,besides jessica alba.............

[Shoyrtt]

What are your plans for the bed material Buy some of the rust converter spray that will turn that tube to black primer

[baconator]

thats amazing that you have learned to use your mouth as your hands.  you are a lucky man.  turck is lookin sweet.  will you be making it to MCR?

[toywthbdydmge]

nice t100 my friend has one with dynatrac 60s f&r he convinced me to run chevie running gear on my 4runner

[armless71]

thanks guys ,id love to ride with yall,maybe a little road trip is in order..i wish i would have used the 60 i had.

Then i had a idea 4 link ,using my 14in king coilovers,triangulate the upper links.Full hydro ,but that was just a thought. As far as the bed ill probably use muratic acid to clean the metal.moisture is a pain in the butt.ran into snag the motor has to be moved back a inch,the radiator and fans dont clear.oh well for the greater cause..

[Shoyrtt]

What fan are you using?

[armless71]

ITS DERALE dual fan, 4000 CFM, 3 1/4 THICK. I probably have the engine to far forward. t-100's are a little different i think.i think we can cut the motor mount welds and slid them back a inch.thats the easiest,i think

[armless71]

do they make toyota flanges for a 60 rear axle and 10bolt front,so i can use the toyota drive shafts..thanks

[854RUN]

WOW, you my friend are an inspiration to us all  . Sweet build so far. I thing i have seen some guy running toy flanges on 60 before. heres a link to Big-T, its a 97 T100. its got a Dana 44 up front and a 8.4" in the rear. 3" Alcans in the front and 5" alcans in the rear. siten on 37"

[854RUN]

All right i knew i saw them some were : http://highangledriveline.com/toy_flange.html
they are $109 and they make them for 60, 44, and 14bolt. for some resone i wont to say the 10 bolt and 44 are almost the same and you can run the d44 flange 

[armless71]

thanks for the info and the link.not many sas t-100 good to see one.made progress fixed engine and radiator/fan issue. mounted the radiator and fan,turned out sweet.next is fuel tank and pump mounting,should be fairly straight forward.waiting on my tc doubler,twin sticks,and budbilt crossmember,then the fun begins...ordered all my bed material today,man steel and alum has gotten ppricey..thanks guys

[sinbob]

nice and an inspiration to all of us

[armless71]

thanks alot,this is a great bunch of guys...

[DTB]

thanks alot,this is a great bunch of guys...

keep us updated!

[armless71]

Just a update ,workin on the bed,mounted the gas tank and built hold downs for it.ill post some new pics tommorrow,my camera eats batteries.then its to the rear axle disc brakes and reinstalling the chunk.gotta borrow a case spreader from a friend,stuppid dana axles.Then get back to the tube work..time consuming..later

[armless71]

finally assembling my dual tc's.heres apic or 2,and the install.got my budbilt crossmember and MC dual shifter sweet... ITS LIKE CHRISTMAS..   Heres a pic of the 8 point last year with a compound crossbow.

[Ramrod]

nice, damn good

[baconator]

lookin good

[armless71]

Finally made some progress,i got the rear axle all done.disc brakes,welded up the rear,mounted shocks.that was yesterday,today the bud bilt crossmember went in ,but not before i had to cut the old mounts out and make new ones.then it was smooth sailin.heres a few pics

why are the toyota tc mounts so pricey.....need aftermarket support...Question 63inch chevy springs how much flex should there be.why because shock travel.. Later guys thanks

[Shoyrtt]

One suggestion, you may want to reposition your lower shock mounts this way for more flex.

Where do you plan to mount the tops?

[Yoat Goat]

Dang man, nice rig! I hardly ever see a built T-100. Keep the pics coming!
