Your girl?? That's new... You still have that yellow couch and that other one that you replaced? Yea, there have been 3 chiefs that have gotten DUI's Wymore is going to mast for beating the poop out of this guys face. Some other stuff is happening to, I can't say it here, but it is an international incident and someone's going to the brig...
Laughing that is really funny you should call me some time so I can talk to ya.. Hey I was messing around with the yota today and I decided to check out my ds angle.. I'm not sure if I was doing it right but the angles are exact on both ends I've tryed it 5 different ways and they always came out exact so Im sure I dont have to cut and re-weld the spring purches.. But I still have to rebuild the 3rd members and do the axles. I do still have that yellow couch and the other couch and chair.. It's all packed into my garage and I'm trying to sell it. I've sold some things but not everything. I'm hoping to sell it all so I can buy my full floater kit and get to work.. Things are gay here I'm switching orders in sept. I want to sell everything now so I can take 1 month of leave while I'm switching commands and work on the truck and things around the house. Yea I have a girl that I'm steadly banging and she cleans my house and cooks it all comes with the package Hyper She is cool but Its not long term.. Money is tight because of day care but I'm trying to get this government assistance thing going where I only pay 8 dollars a month for day care so I'm waiting for paperwork to get that going. I'm gonna get off of here man but call me or something..
if you have a single u-joint on both ends of the driveshaft then you want the angle to be the same on both ends of the driveshaft.
I do have the single u Joint on both ends of the drive shaft.. The kit that I ordered said that I have to cut and move the pinion angle up so the whole time I'm thinking thats one of the things that I have left to do.. But for the heck of it I put the shaft in and I checked the angles and they were exactally the same on both ends.. SO 1 less thing to do..
OK It's been a while.. I still havnt done to much but I'm working on it.. I finished welding all the required parts on to the toyota. I also took out the front axle and was going to just install the high steer arms and also reweld the front 3rd member. But as I tore the front axle down I found 2 trunnion bearings bad and the axle was leaking, So once again I'm waiting on parts.. It's been a week but the front axle rebuild kit is spost to be here soon. here some pictures to keep it going.

I didn't like the shifter boot and center consol set up so I changed it.

I also took the front axle out of the truck, I was only going to install the High steer and reweld the front axle.. But I found 2 trunnion bearings bad as I tore it down and it was leaking so I decided that it needed a rebuild. Waiting on parts to finish.

The shifter with the 4.70....Coolthumb

sorry I know not this was the point
HURRY UP!!! haha, I know the situation, just busting your balls. When I get home we need to get together and I'll BBQ and we can slide that dana 60 in my truck and regear my 14 bolt. I decided not to swap to 52's and 56's and just save for a 3 link front and 4 link rear. The axles should be a pretty easy/fast swap as long as I have someone to watch Nate.

There is 4.70 to 1 low range gears in the transfer case. (Stock is 2.25 to 1)
lookin good...
So I got the front axle together, I decided to do vented rotors with the IFS calipers for better breaking. I'm also going to go down to the local junk yard and pick up some IFS hubs and a rear axle out of a IFS yota. I cut the backing plates down and made them into a spacer so there is not going to be a backing plate for the breaks. Right now I'm waiting on parts AGAIN because the local auto part stores dont carry the rotors so I have to special order them. Here is some pictures..
