Why did you choose to go under the frame with your front shackle mounts instead of through it? What does your driveshaft angles in the front look like?

[mayberry]

its what i had and my angle is terrable but i am building a little shorter shackles and getting pinion wedges

[ontherocks]

you gotta be careful with weges, was dealin with that this weekend.

Be carefull you don't go to short with your shackles. You could either lock them against the frame, or bend a spring because shorter shackles won't allow enough movement for those springs. The jigs and frame tubes are money well spent imo! 

[mayberry]

i might just do it then i have the tubing to do it but i didnt have the jug but i think ontherocks has one i could use. it would make my pinion angle better aswell but if i still dont like it i will rebuild my front hanger a little lower like my pickup's was

[THK Matt]

if you dont mind me asking, how did you get the "yota" to screw to your grille with one screw? or did you glue on a second screw mount? just curious, cause its centered pretty well.

EDIT: Very Nice 2nd Gen 4Runner, i dig these builds.

also taht pic on the lawn is my new desktop background

[mayberry]

i just pulled it and cut the "to" off and there is a whole between the Y and O and between the T and the A and i just drilled holes in the grille to match. i like that my truck is worthy of a desktop background (thats a huge complement to me, thanks bro) i use to do that with vehicles i liked
