yeah dude thats what i was thinkin! and their's are billet machined, not cast, so they look sexy! everything fit up and went together well so i dont see there being any problems with the adaptor.

My buddy said you should be able to use ANY 90-98 rear wheel Lexus car sensor. He insists that is what the problem is. He said he has 5 of them and they are ALL bad. Apparently they are very sensitive, more so than the other air flow sensors unfortunately. Not only if you try to clean them, but even if they just simply get dirty. There's got to be someone local that you can coerce into borrowing theirs for the day.

I still need to take a picture of the axle brace for you.

Thanks Tobin, yeah i have heard that they are extremely sensative and some people have to go through a few before finding a good one. I think i know a guy that has a Lexus sc300 here in town. I need to try and track him down. Yeah you can grab some pics if you want. If you have one i will probly buy it from you.

So Tim and I just got done throwin the dual setup in the BR. Looks like i have a few mods to take care of tomorrow. Gotta remove the rear heater/consol setup and see how i can move it back or somethin so the shifter will fit. Gotta cut a section out of the "horseshoe" crossmember so the driveline will fit through. I will also have to modify the t-case crossmember i built, then i can get the drivelines made. Looks like the front DL will be about 36.5" long and the rear will be 40.5" long. So with that being said i should be able to use my long slip front driveline in place of the rear if i ever break the rear and still need to drive home on the highway $Beer Chug\'n$

Thats the second best thing about dual cases and long spline d lines.. We used my front in place of a rear to get a buddy off of the trail just a few weeks ago, otherwise he would have had to leave it overnight

Made some good progress today. got the drivtrain all up in place with the cross member. Cut a hole in the floor for the shifter. Had to take both t-case shifters out and modify them so nothing would interfere while shifting. The second t-case shifter ended up right under where all the switches are for the back window and such. I'm gonna have to cut that section out and put my switches somewhere else. I measured up for the drivelines and i'm gonna start on those tomorrow. I also got both of my diff armor's welded on (still need to finish some touch up paint and take pics of those) Here is a couple pics of the shifters. I will get some more pics tomorrow!

Got a few more things taken care of. Had to remove my lower radiator hose cuz it was tangled up with the power steering line. The PS line was hangin down between the steering links just waiting to get pinched and cut, so i got it up out of the way. The lower coolant hose is really long and odd shaped, It has been spliced in the middle and it wont stop leaking. So today i took it to work and bent up a peice of stainless tubing to replace it. I still have to do some fitting but i think it will work out great. I will get some pics of it when i fit it up. I also have an issue with the rear heater. Now that I have duals, the rear output flange hits the hoses that connect to the rear heater. I am gonna have to figure out another way to route the hoses because i dont want to remove the heater. I took a couple pics of the diff armor. I also Got the exhaust pushed up above the framerails so it doesnt hang down anywhere now. Here is a couple pics i have for now.

Just take those window switches and slide um under the drivers seat, the wedge nicley under the outside rail and can be used with ur left hand while driving. Wedged so they are the 1st thing you see when you open the door, looks like they are supposed to be there.

thats a good idea, I will try that! I wont need those switches forever though because i am planning on bobbing and dovetailing. It may end up with no tailgate one day, we will see how it all pans out
