Craig - give us the specs - axles gears, diffs etc. Are those 35's with HD springs and spacers -
NO trimming in the rear or will you let that happen naturally ? Those GCR offset wheels??
LOOKS AWESOME!! And that is one cool gas filler hole |

RD-
Just got back from Hawaii. Things didn't go so hot with the woman out there, so not sure if I'll be moving at the end of the year or not. Oh well...
JB / Randall-
I'll give you the summarized version
Rear wheelwells aren't trimmed at all in those pics. Fronts we did with a body saw the other day..
Frontend:
764's w/ RW 1" spacers
RTE arms (3link goes on next week)
SS brakelines
Just recieved some 12" travel FOX emulsion shocks for the front to be installed w/ D2 towers and custom lowers at the same time as the 3link..
RW Steering Rods
etc... etc...
Rearend:
Very early RTE 3" springs w/ RW 1" spacers.
Just recieved some 14" travel Fox emulsions for the rear. ( same time as 3link)
RW upper and lower mounts welded and gusseted
Fabritron double jointed chromo trailing arms(junk)
RW drop kit (noisey, but who cares right?)
SS brakelines.
A-frame balljoint mount mod for good pinion angle.
etc... etc...
Drivetrain:
4.6L shortblock w/ 4.2 cam, 4.2 coldstart eprom, 4.2 heads, 4.2 fuelrail, and 4.2 alternator etc...
Waiting to install my LT230 w/ maxi 30% low range reduciton.
KAM 4.11's in the diffs
Axles are cryo treated 24spline stuff for now (spares are cheap!, and They seem to hold up well as long as you're carefull w/ the front locker. I'll swap these out when the new tires are installed)
RD56 airlockers in both ends.
yadda, yadda....
Bumpers and cage are in the works. Still in the drawing stages, but will be similar to the Allpro Offroad Toyota bumbers F&R
still can't make up my mind concerning the cage design. Lot's of ideas, but nothing solid yet...
tires are 33x12.50x15 MTR's on GCR 15x8's
Set of 36x12.50x15 TSL SX's on the way!!!! I'll mount them up after I take some more sheetmetal off the rear wheelwells. (I think I'll go w/ GBR extreme duty axles/flanges etc... after the Swampers go on.
The list goes on and on....

Yeah Blue-
It's nice not to worry about dragging the rear-end anymore!
I'll get some more pics up in a few days...

I still can't figure out what that thing looks like. Frog? Lizard? I dunno, but it's pretty odd lookin'.
You end up making it up to Spring Creek?

Chu-
Ran Bill Moore lake instead. I had my 60yr old Mom with me. Her first time, and wanted to take it a little easy on her. Still snowed in about a half mile from the lake.
I think it looks like a BJ45 Landcruiser myself...
