Looks like you got a good bit of cancer around the A arm location on the frame. Quote:

Well thanks to etyper I'm going to swap in a 84 yota front axle. For ease of install I'm going to buy a TG kit for the swap. Instead of fabing everything my self.http://www.trail-gear.com/sas.html Raptor man I've allways admired your truck. |

Are those the MTZs from Mickey Thompson? If so, how do ya like em? I was thinking about getting them as my next set. From the sounds of it, they were slipping pretty good. |

I started to take the front suspension off last night. It was going pretty good untill it got dark out. Today after work will, be time spent with the hot wrench. I had 2 friends stop over to see it. They both said I was crazy for doing it to such an old truck. They aren't wheelers though they don't understand. Last edited by Cole82; 09-06-2006 at 07:28 AM. |

You are moving along quick! I was going to get the same kit for my truck. But I decided to pick up the FJ40 instead of doing the swap. I am sure it will not be long before you have this thing back on the road again :-P |

I only got two brackets torched of today. The tanks are empty. That's another $120 and an hour of my time just to fill them up again.

Got the tanks filled friday and tried to finish the torch work. Had 2 brakets left when it got dark again. Saturday went to MN and picked up the axle. Today it rained all day long. So nothing got done today.
