Big Mike
I just found/read this thread. Did you ever get it all finished up or did I miss out on something?
It sure sounded real juicy

Hoping you have your reply notify turned on

Well, I don't think it will ever be finished

This thread has a 2nd part to it, please direct your browser here:
BigMike's Big Summer Project

What's happening right now?
I traded my Pitbull ROCKERS for a set of 37x12.50x15 MTRs.
I am building a new crossmember.
I am waiting for a dyno tuner to acquire the soft/hardware to reprogram my Unichip computer and get the POS TuRD Supercharger to finally work correctly.
Building a bracket for my V-Twin on board air.

That's about it. I just want to finish this stuff up before the Round Up

Would it be easier to buy a Tacome with the 3RZ and SAS it? I have the t-cases would have to a get a W56 trans, even if bought an 85 truck, right.

Are there any draw backs to the Tacoma?

did you ever finish the front spring hanger relocation like the formula toy, if so got any tips or pictures started cutting on mine yesterday a lil worried about the loss of strength was gonna raise the radiator to do braceing any feedback on this would be great

BigMike · « **Reply #1095 on:** May 03, 2011, 11:54:40 AM »

I decided not to do it, and instead I removed a leaf from the front pack and installed shorter shackles. My truck is a good 2-inches shorter than it was when I originally built it.

Here are pictures from 3 days ago at the Mountain Transit Authority's Mud'N'Yer Eye Frolic in Hollister, CA:

My truck is REALLY working great. It goes anywhere I point it, I really like how I've got it set up. Only a few small tweaks remaining and it'll pretty much be done. Wow, did I just say that?

Jaysen · « **Reply #1096 on:** May 03, 2011, 06:20:16 PM »

nice!!

I have no clue what trails we did. MTA had a complete course laid out with easy to follow red marker signs. We drove past about 30 road signs. I pretty much stopped paying attention after the 3rd one

I did the long & steep hill climb in 4.70:1 3rd gear which was cake.

Your truck is looking really good BigMike, always has been one of my favorites

I had a question for you. I wanted to know if you are still using the same kind of crossmember from this thread?

http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=46211.msg587861#msg587861

If so, have you had any problems? Anything you'd do different?

Yeah, I have spent a few hours already on our attachment system and I still can't figure it out. I'll try to devote some more time on it this weekend. The files are present on the system, but they are not showing up on the forum.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #1105 on:** Nov 25, 2011, 11:14:26 PM »

Mike we just did an upgrade to the clubs board and it did the same thing, can't figure it out either.

rcbro · « **Reply #1106 on:** Nov 26, 2011, 08:13:08 AM »

No worries, I'll be patient. If things go right I'll be doing this swap sooner then expected so trying to get my ducks in a row.

No such thing my friend. I've tried and tried but it never ends up working that way.
