Thanks, Todd :) I kind of expected a shot of the old CJ tub out by the side of the shop :eek:

The high steer is looking good although I'm wondering if maybe I should order an arm spacer to even out that draglink a bit.

Technically; you first have to admit that you're in over your head and then sell it. I have extra jack stands if you need them.

Here are few more of the Prerunner.
It is about done for now, put 4.56 gears in and installed air bumps frt. & rear with limit straps

Built a dual tire carrier with bumper, just need to add some tube and skid to the frt. bumper.

I got your update righ here... YJunk now has your old rear sitting under it :) which makes me very happy.

I'm gonna have an issue with the tank skid; under mild compression (say 20mph down a bumpy trail) I'm getting a little contact; so I'm afraid when I hit something really hard I'm going to create a problem... So the fix is on its way: BTF Extreme Fuel Cell (should be here next week)... this will give me another five to six inches of clearance between the skid and the rear.

Much to my suprise the 35"s are goin to require less trimming than I thought... they're only just touching a wee bit...

Most of you (not being newbs) will already know this, but there is a huge difference in the way the Detroit Locker and Lockrite work on the street... I actually thought the detroit wasn't working, cause it wasn't clankin and banging... Off road though its working really well; hooks up immediately.

Also wanted to say thanks to Todd and Dave... I really like the way Todd set the shocks up underneith the bish and appreciate all the time he spent with me during the time the rig was in the shop. I was also really impressed with Dave customer service... Any PM I sent he was on right away.

Umm.. Nick, care to elaborate?

1). Yjunk is sitting on your old rear, which makes him very happy.

2). When he gets going about 20 MPH on your rear, he's getting very little contact.

3). He's afraid he's gonna hit something really hard, which is gonna create a problem.

4). But the fix is on it's way. Another five to six inches should do the trick.
