Change to a wheel with less backspacing to widen the stance a wee bit, get bigger tires, and she'll be fine!!! Lose the top (to lower the COG) if you're worried about rolling it on the trail. Looking good!!!

The front looks a smidge higher than the back. Overall, it looks pretty good. I wonder how your DS angles are going to be....

If i can get some rims cheap that has a better back spacing ill go for it other than that im probably not gonna stress over it. I want to switch to dana 60 front and rear and i already have the rear I just need to get the front.. I'm building up some spare toyota 8" right now with lockers and shafts I want to play with them a little bit. I have a different top that came with the 4 runner that is chopped but what i really want is the topper that 85 jimmy has on his. but that thing is like 800 dollars so i'll have to wait. the front is higher than the rear right now the shackels moved back a little bit but they still havnt setteled so the front shackels are standing more straight up and down than the rear is that is why it sit's higher. I really need to drive it to see where it's sitting and adjust if need to..The drive shaft in the rear has to be adjusted and the front is fine I just have to have a new shaft made that is a little longer and with out the double cardan.. I got to get my gear box this weekend once the built axles and gear box is installed i'll get a new shaft made fine tune it and it will be ready for the trail

Winch/bumper will probably level it out, too. The 60's would give it the wider stance it needs without changing wheels, but the wheels prolly won't fit 60's anyway.

no they wont the 60 is gonna be 8 lug and the toyota 8" is 6. But the 60's are gonna come later on down the road so if i found a good set of wheels for a cheap price with good back spacing i'll do it. I have a winch and bumper.. its a hydro winch and i want to trade it for electric. either warn or tabor 9k - 12k i'll see what i come up with..

Alright, I've been gone for a month, lets see some updates!

It blows... If I had a better chain of command it would be alright, but the E-7 and up here blows... Plus everyone keeps getting in trouble dumb stuff and drinking too much, luckily I haven't yet

yea I heard fennell got a dui.. The range sucks we are working late every day now and we cant get a break for nothing. And its hot out there it sucks. SO your deployment sucks huh? kinda figured it was gonna be that way lol.. I had to go out to davids house today to check out his truck for rebecca because the brake light was on.. So i was on my way and i figured that maybe its just low on fluid or something maybe a leak.. NOPE i get there and i check the easiest thing first like a real mechanic should.. So i checked the e-break to see if it was on and she had pressed the e-break just enough to turn on the break light but things sucks here, i got my ramps from your house and julia asked me to get rid of that bench that you had so i did.. I've been thinking of getting rid of the yota still but i dont want to but im not sure what to do with it if i go to college in michigan.. I got to see how much room my sister has and plus the snow i dont want it to rot.. I'm gonna wait it out my garage is so packed with furnature right now i have no room to get to nothing so once thats stuff is gone its back to the yota.. just get the axles done and get it driving for now.. I got to go my girl is comming over to clean my house.. Keep in touch.
