Oh yeah, and just because that is Dave's 4Runner (what's left of it) doesn't mean that Dave can use it as his avatar!

Mini, those your welds?

I'll be on vacation from now until thursday, but I'll leave you with some picture until then....
Oh yeah, we've got video too!
To answer a few questions: On the road doing 35mph the rear did not shake or wobble one bit! The front however is another story, there is death wobble, but I still have to do the alignment and mount my steering stabilizer. The pitman arm hits the spring under full compression and I ripped my zert off.

I'll talk to you guys again on Thursday!

Nope, just a flatter pitman arm. It'll be fixed soon. :gap:
