sounds like a plan i got my parking brake installed today
Not to bad a list. If you need some rear shock brackets, I have some ruff stuff side mount brackets available.
Yea, I ordered those brackets already. Wish I had known you had them. Oh well...
Have you installed these brackets yet? I'm thinking about ordering some for myself instead of fabbing something up. Wondering if they're worth the 25 bucks.
brackets?? for what??
or weld a bolt to the housing and install them like / \
You can still install them like that, but this double bracket is going to be MUCH stronger then a bolt welded to the housing.
I wired up the "hot" wire for my e-lockers straight to the fuse box in the engine bay. Sorry, no pictures. Wont be able to get new ones until I get my Runner here to LA. If you dont smoke the lighter would be a good option.
I may have some in my bag of shock parts. Lemme look, and I'll tell you in the A.M.
Man, Marlinland must be vacant. With big news like a maiden voyage after 18 months, I would think that at least ONE person would comment... Yet nothing...

I don't have pics, as my camera died.
Five brownie points to whoever posts up first to let me know that Marlinland still cares Ha ha!!!
DTB is the WINNER! I'll gaypal over 5 brownie points right now!!!
Today I tweeked my steering stops and drag link length. I'm much happier with the steering capabilities. I'm still perplexed, though, as it seems that I still have more "turn" in my box when my knuckles stop. It actually pulls the axle to one side when the knuckles and steering stops kick in. Is that normal?Thanks to friends, I avoided a novice mistake. I was reading through my Toyota Factory Service Manual (FSM) and read something about part of the steering box requiring gear oil. I panicked thinking I had run the box dry for a long time. So, I called Glen and Dennis and they confirmed that the box only required power steering fluid (ATF) as I had been running and suspected. I guess the FSM thought I had a manual gear box or something... I don't know... I know many people don't, but I'm looking for info. on running a sway bar up front. I think I might be able to get the factory bar to work, but I don't know. Any thoughts on front or rear sway bar?Sorry I don't have any pics and that my post is quite lengthy. I'll link up pics as soon as they're available.
Good to hear some progress. Cant wait for the pics. Let me know how that ford gas tank works out for you, that is something I've been looking at for a while.
Crawlers don't have sway bars....I have never seen one or heard of anyone running one...They limit flex in a major way. If your truck is set up right you should never need one
Man, I love the gas tank! It beats the crap outta the saddle bag. In retrospect, it wasn't terribly hard to figure out and mount. I humped some rocks on Saturday that would've destroyed the saddle bag tank. I didn't worry once about the Ford tank. Down the road I may bob the 'Runner and incorporate a skid over the tank. Look back a couple pages to see how I mounted the tank. It came from a Ford F-150 with a 302 (5.0). I'm really happy with it. The only thing I may do is pull out the pump to bend the fuel gauge float arm backwards so that the Toyota gauge on my dash is compatible with the Ford sender. Let me know if you have any more questions
how did you know the alt was overheating ?? was it smoking??
I'll be picking your brain later when I get to this my self.
