Cool build Up I cant wait to see what she looks like when your done. The inside of your cab look just like mine when I first got my truck. I got some new black carpet and seat covers and called it good.

lol yeah the interior was pretty gross, but i ripped out the carpet, and that made it a little better. I was thinking about either putting fresh carpet back in, or rolling bed liner in there. and yeah I'm definetley gettin a seat cover.

I ended up ordering Sky's Widening Kit (much to white trash's dismay) yesterday, so I could match my rear axle width. I also found a potential buyer for some of my FJ40 stuff. So that will add some more flow to the fire if ya know what i mean.

Maybe I'll just forget the build and change the name of my thread to Smileyfest '08 and everyone puts up their favorite smileys.

On a more awesome note, I sold most of my FJ40 junk this weekend and made $1000 bones. It's nice to have money burning holes in my pockets again.

Also, I gave this girl my old steering stuff I just took off (she got in a wreck and needed 'em) So now, her Dad said he would paint my rig any color I want. So I'm gonna throw on my most straight body pieces I can find and get her painted ORANGE. If anyone comes across any sick orange Toyota's: Post 'em up here so I can have a gander at 'em.

Shaweeet! My buddy had a half orange half blue 85 pickup after he got in an accident. Orange should look good.

Little Update:
-I got my rotors/spacers/hubs put together with new wheel bearings and everything. Looks really good.
-I welded up my driver side spring spacer that was a little bit of a disaster, I'm not that good at welding yet.
-I picked up a top-shift transfer case for $25!  So that means dual cases really soon. I am gonna order the MC07-R10 tomorrow, and then install it on one of my brother's extra t-cases. Later I will pull out my tranny/tcase and install a Marlin Clutch, and throw in the extra t-case. That way, I can hopefully get my drivelines done all at once, and save myself a little cash. (My front driveshaft will no longer work with the new springs)

So, by this weekend, this thing should hopefully be supporting its own weight again once I get that other spring, and the brakes/hubs on. Still need to get the steering box mounted though. I might test my welding skills again, but I'd really rather not on my already weak frame. 

P.S. I know this is worthless without pics. Who likes to read anyways? Pics soon.

I'm not sure yet, he said we probably aren't going to go if it is raining tomorrow. I guess we'll just have to get crunk elsewhere.

hmm looks good but is it done yet?

[Thomas P]

need another v6 third member?

[wampum]

Man... it seems like it is far from it.

need another v6 third member?

Not really. I think I am just gonna stick with a 4cyl up front until way down the road when I can get a High Pinion.

I got both springs on today. And I wasted a lot of time looking around for 12mm hex head wrench for the stoopid Sky's Widening Kit. Anyway, I found somebody who is going to let me borrow one, and then I can get my wheels back on tomorrow. Plus, big bro said he'd probably come help me mount that IFS box tomorrow 
Pics tomorrow hopefully. No rain please.

Updates: Nearly Drivable.

[wampum]

Axle is completely assembled again, I just need to install my new brake lines.

Steering is almost complete. I just need to reconnect all the hoses, and lengthen the shaft coming from the steering wheel. Not exactly sure how to do that yet though. Also, I need to install the new pitman arm. By the way, Trail-Gear sent bolts for the steering box mounting kit that fit in the sleeves, but not through the actual box. What a rip!

Also snapped a pic of the goods: MC07-R10. Wewt!

[boggerunner]

u need to drill the box out to 1/2", read the directions online

[808]

its easy kev. ill come over and show you tomorrow. or if your not home ill probably just do it, and if im feeling really frisky maybe just maybe ill try and finish up your steering. unless you want to do the finishing touches
