I have a drawer full of "special" puller adapters I had to modify or fabricate for stuff like this. It sucks to have to grind, heat and bend or weld on a nice puller. Sometimes ya do what ya gotta do to get things apart. I just spent most of a day trying to get my steering wheel off my non...

If your front diff housing is full of all the trinkets you're going to carry, maybe you can put some mini bar whiskey or tequila, or Coca-Cola or something in the cool can to go 200 MPH!! :p

I'm glad you were chosen. :clap: I'm looking forward to watching it. Love that event.

Getting rid of the rust is necessary if you want any top coat to last. The most important thing is to follow the tech sheet for whatever product you are going to use. What works for one might not work for another. Timing of application is often critical for many products. It may have to be...

I see you have a more modern parallel flow condenser installed. Looks like the one I put on mine. I'm in AZ and I didn't need a condenser fan even with the original serpentine condenser. It couldn't hurt though. May lower your high side pressure. The new style condenser did lower my high side a...

Really nice work on a cool project. IDK about the difference in the spring centers but I trust Toyota's tolerance more than TG's. I wondered if you were playing with the lathe because that's the kind of stuff I did when I first got mine. Gotta learn somehow.

The hangers came out nice. You really made the tubes out of SOLID round? Playing with the lathe? It's all looking good. I'm surprised you didn't end up fabricating your axle housing after all the other parts you have made. I found out you have to compromise somewhere it seems. I had a flat...

I would have bought one of those fairleads @PIP if I had been aware of them back when you were selling them. EVERY roller fairlead that I've had was either an abused old Warn or the really flimsy ones common today.

OP is trying real hard to wrap his head around this so didn't want any confusion added.

Looks like he has the red and blue marked parts wrong. Pan Hard attaches to frame. Drag link attaches to pitman arm.

I had Detroit Tru-Trac's in both axles on my 88 IFS pickup when I bought it from my buddy. He had them installed with 4.56 gears when he went to 31" tires. He set it up for hunting and scouting but it was his daily driver as well. It was perfect for sand washes here in AZ and also in snow up...

Rubicon is on my bucket list if I EVER get my truck done.

Pattern looks good to me. Slightly shallow?? Close call on the front locker tube.
