wheeled my truck today but it was short lived. broke my anti wrap bar within the first half hour, wich wasnt a big deal since it was getting taken back off anyway. the bad part is the pullys rubbed on my radiator and put a hole in it, so i wasnt able to wheel it much.

stay tuned the back will be getting cut off very soon

Noice.... That is one of the tightest fitting exos i think ive ever seen!  Not that it matters but does it rattle against the cab pretty bad?  I just have one hoop behind by cab and i have problems with that...

i have solid body mounts so i dont think its gonna be as big of a problem. i didnt hear anything rattling

[Steve_925]

look in the pic just above your post! my crank pulley rubbed through like 10 veins in the radiator

[82juguete]

Truck looks sick at home in the rocks

i just picked up the fj80 rear axle, it has the E locker but no motor. got it for next to nothing. im gonna keep the 5.29 in the front and buy a 5.29 r&p for the 80

[pumkin toy]

so you still have the v6 5:29 w/detroit for sale?

[Duffil]

ooohhhh. I saw the fluid just couldn't tell what it was.

congrats for getting it out on the rocks!! 

[Steve_925]

so i started on my rear 4 link. it was acually pretty easy, only took me a day to get everything tacked up. the lowers are 55" eye 2 eye and the uppers are 38".

i also started on my back half. the first piece i bent up is 1 3/4" the rest will be 1.5".
the stinger may or may not be that tall but it will be there.

im just not sure on wich design to do. its ether start at the top or the main hoop and go all the way back or start about 2/3 down and go all the way back or just have it parallel with the ground. 

[Steve_925]

oh ya and after 2 day of cutting and grinding i got that fj80 axle cleaned up. that thingt is sweet. full floater is the .

[Steve_925]

[Steve_925]

[Steve_925]

i think i like the taller design better. and it would be stronger. let me know your opinions

[Steve_925]

acually now that i think about it having all that tubing it would be a pain to get things in and out of the bed of that
