IFS brackets are in the way, cutting them off tomorrow with a torch.

soon to come will be the fj80 steering box, ballistic coil buckets and probably ford shock towers


Sand, what fun, drop pressure to 12psi, stock tires are still digging, can't afford to get stuck, 8psi, still not working. Find a place to GET OUT, air up, un-lock hubs,  WAIT whats this, hubs are UN-LOCKED already. 2wd, 8psi, stock tires, Oregon sand dunes.

drove it up and down my driveway:
steering box had ONE bolt, NO panhard, and NO front springs, axle sitting on wood blocks on frame.

Im getting T-G frame reinforcement kit, then welding on steering box and coil buckets, but I am going to set up the panhard before then and probably prepare for the steering box mount

just an update, picked up an fjcruiser elocker rear, and some yukons, still setting up, but this is where I'm at and a quote from ZUK @ gearinstalls.com
"You're right....a touch on the deep side but that is what I like to see!!!  :)    Leave it there and 007 BL is the target.  This will favor a touch more strength on the ring which the ring really needs."

pictures of where I am at on the diff build, still needs help. but should have 64.25" wide elocker axle ready to go under the truck by friday!
