I'm gonna come over this evening and drink beer while I'm watching and being worthless. Having no right hand is like being stuck in 2WD $That\'s Gay$

the timing assembly is done, and the sky full width kit is here. tomorrow the axle will get its ass over here and then we can start making it look like a truck again. I also got 2 of the tsl's mounted on the rims last night.

not really a whole lot to take pics of just yet

boggerunner · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 18, 2008, 11:33:06 PM »

finally got the 60 mocked up in place with some stock leaves till the 5" lift ones get here next week. the 15" rims with 4.25 backspacing will fit with minor grinding. this thing looks sweet!

boggerunner · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 26, 2008, 10:08:10 AM »

got some 5" lift springs installed, and some parts came in for the rear suspension, tg's creeper joints, shackels and 12" front shock towers.

Nice 2 see Toyotas grow up.

You have any plans for the axles them selfs? as far as guts or armor .

Mavericks · « **Reply #17 on:** Jul 26, 2008, 10:15:28 AM »

This truck is going to be sick! how did you like the full width kit from sky?

boggerunner · « **Reply #18 on:** Jul 26, 2008, 10:30:01 AM »

the front axle is getting 4.56 gears to match the rear. looking for a locker for the 60, and the rear already has a detriot. need to find some high steer arms. im not sure where to get them from yet, anyboby have good luck from any particular company?
as for armor, havent thought of it yet, but some diff covers made from 3/8" sound good.

the full width kit is sweet, but i dont know why skymakes it to use chevy leaves?

bigarms23 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jul 26, 2008, 12:42:32 PM »

for highsteer arms i used wfo concepts(530-268-9494 ask for trevor) and haven't been disappointed and my suggestion for a locker run an ox and for diff armor i like the ones from blue torch fab

boggerunner · « **Reply #20 on:** Jul 27, 2008, 10:32:12 PM »

ordering some poly performance high steer arms with new studs tomorrow. the front suspension is done, got the shackles on tonight. tomorrow we will gut the rear for the 63" chevys and saginaw rearend with 4.56's and a detroit locker

boggerunner · « **Reply #21 on:** Jul 29, 2008, 09:06:40 PM »

tonight we got the bed off, and the rear axle pulled. 63" chevys are ready for pickup tomorrow morning at the junckyard

boggerunner · « **Reply #22 on:** Aug 02, 2008, 10:54:09 PM »

i welded up the hangers for the 63' chevy's and got the saginaw 10.5 bolted in place. i also mounted the other 2 swampers on the rims, and got the truck sitting on its own weight. the rear is 1.5" lower than the front, but i have some steel 1.5" blocks to fix that.
