Looks great man, finally some progress. John would be ecstatic. Still ordering parts for my SAS.

Yes, he sure would.

Good stuff. Are you going to add a cross member to the RA brackets?

 

[TxPlates]

Right now it's all mocked up so they can set everything in place, then I imagine all the supports will actually go in.

 

[Trckmagik]

Looks like a good start.

Great update.

 

[Randall]

Not sure if sarcastic...

 

[OffTrac]

No, certainly not. Few threads get my attention as much as this one.

Awesome work, I like the idea of recessing the steering box. What box is that for?

 

[Randall]

86-93 ish 4Runner.

So did you actually remove part of the frame to plate it for the steering box?

 

[Randall]

Yeah. We had to notch it a bit to get the Toyota steering box to line up without binding too much.

Looking good, buddy. That thing is going to be beasting in no time.

 

[TxPlates]

Yes sir, hoping to go pick her up on Thursday and take her over to Kris' to begin the last leg of work.

 

[Trckmagik]

What is the last leg of work?

 

[Randall]

We are going to swap out the rear axle for an 8.8 with a Powertrax No-Slip, 4.88's and Dutchman alloy shafts with the matching 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. Also swapping out the transfer case with an F-150 electric shift 4406, and then the driveshafts. We also need to get his old MTR's swapped onto some 5 on 5.5 Rockcrawler wheels.
