You offering? :thumbsup: Without the side steps I can barely get in and my wife couldn't without help. That is in the future maybe? Lockers front and rear would be my next major step then maybe tires with a little more agressive tread.


If you get the stuff, we can have it leafed over in one day....

The best thing to do if you are running a leaf over is to change to a CV Shaft in the rear from High Angle Driveline. Depending on if you use a core, or not, they can run between $250-$400, but they are well worth the investment as they are stronger and can handle the higher angle....

I'll bring the beer :cheers: I got my tags so as soon as I can get it to get the exhaust finished I can drive it around.

Can't believe all the little stuff I missed during reassembly. Cotter pins, line mounting, Seat belts, loose bolts on fenders, recovery bottle... hopefully it is on the road this week and I can get the exhaust done.

You need to get the front driveline off a IFS Toyota Pickup with a V6. The four cylinder IFS pickup front driveline doesn't have a sharp enough working angle. After you get your CV, and we do the lift on your cruiser, you take it up to Jesse at High Angle Driveline and tell him the distance between your pinion and transfer case and he will make one up. I am not sure the going rate, because we haven't had one done in a while, but I think they were around $225 if you had a donor. He will go through the driveline to make sure everything is good, ect...

I think they are around $400 without a donor, so don't spend too much on one....

Drove it up and down my cul-de-sac and seem to have a problem with the master cylinder. May just need an adjustment. Need to straighten the steering wheel, button up a couple of loose ends and it will be on the road. Still have to finish the exhaust and then can think about the front driveshaft.

Took i t out for a longer cruise today. I will take it for exhaust Tuesday. Took the significant other who has been so patient with the junk in the garage and the hemorrhagic pocket book. Hopefully the worse is over for now except for the toys and updates.

Sorry for no new updates! Got the exhaust and on the way home alternator went out week before Christmas. Got a new one but been busy and haven't installed it yet. A couple of minor problems but livable. Maybe tomorrow unless our friend needs help moving Sunday. Quite different than traveling in my 2008 Toyota pickup.
