[THK Matt]

Still want the specks for that hanger?

Yes we do

[BigMike]

Pin it to break it

[Mudfanatic92]

Alright alright... I'll see if I can get se spare cash and go to central and get some diff armor...

[Nimyad]

Good man. Or you can just make one out of scrap plate, that's what I did on my first gen.

[THK Matt]

or learn to drive and you wont need armor

[toyotanner]

doesnt matter how great a wheeler you are your still gonna need armor.... digging the white knuckles ha

[THK Matt]

personally id rather get other done and do armor when more funds are available for it.

[Peterbuilt84]

I'd say it's cheap insurance. Cut a pipe cap in half and cover both axles.

[THK Matt]

Well Cody I started on painting my housing tonight. looks sweet.

[zebracrawler]

i can fab up that front hanger for you for 60 bucks or here are are the dimensions: 32 1/2, wide made of 2 1/2 1/4in thick square tube, the cut for the spring hanger is 4 in from out side and  1 1/4 deep using trail gear or ruff stuff rear spring hangers. you can look at the red solo truck build he had the ruff stuff hanger in his i have tg. 

[Mudfanatic92]

Perfect! Thank you!!

[zebracrawler]

yep no problem

[Mudfanatic92]

So an update. Matt and I got the FJ rotors on the hubs. After that i got back to the my moms house, and worked on the truck... I got the rear of the frame flapdisked and it now has 2 coats of flat black rust prevention.  When i went to pull the frame back in, i finally took the rear drivelines off and when it popped off the flange, gear oil started to leak out and now i have an excuse for getting atleast gears. 

[zebracrawler]

you just need to put some rtv o the splines on the flange an it will stop that if you don't want to re gear is it coming from transfer case or pinion

Pinion

[zebracrawler]

the gear oil is coming from the inside where the pinion nut is.  i would say you could pull that off and put rtv on it but i think you will need to re set your back lash on your pinion.
