Here's pics, 94 IFS rear axle and new shock mounts, FJ40 rotors, 88 v6 calipers, FJ80 Mastercylinder and 3/4 wheel spacers with 3/4" longer studs. Front axle is 1.5 " woder and rear is 3". the brakes are awsome and the width is even better I can't believe the difference

Over all I like the truck, I am wondering if I should take out the body lift or loft the tranny more. Here are some pics of the truck overall and how much I want to bobb it

Had to pull the tranny to replace the rear main, it only lasted about 50K I new I should have changed itwhen I put the tranny in but figured it would be fine, looks like I thought and stepped in it again. But I took the opportunity to make some changes to the crossmember, lifted it about an 1" 1/2 and made a lot more room for my exhaust and other :pokinit:. here are the pics.

here are some more pics, it's all 1/4 " plate I used the stock t case brackets and welded them on to the main plate piece then fit all the others in around. it only took about 2 1/2 hours all together with prep and welding, and I had all the plate left over from other projects.
