You need to run some springs that push the front axle forward. Rear springs or the fancy Sky Off-road springs would do it. That’s the only way you are going to keep a 35 out of the body.
I’ve got a set of 86-95 Toyota pickup/4runner 4.88s diffs for sale. Rear is a rebuilt 4cylinder Marlin crawler unit and front is a factory 4.88 takeout. I pulled these out of my semi-daily driver when I put in a solid axle. No issues with the...
The other update is the rear bumper. This was a "make-it-up-as-you-go" design. I just built it from whatever steel I had on hand. Main bumper is 3x4" rec tube. Wings and center section are 3/16". DOM corner guards. Full 1" thick recovery...
Agree. You figure with 400 foot pounds at your disposal the 8 speed would trust 6-7-8 to get the job done on highway inclines but it's about as indecisive as a hipster at a beer tasting event.

Single picture from the trail and the highway to prove I did both. I got denied on that...
I was just trying to save a fellow cruiserheads life. One minor front end collision would have put about 400 lbs of stuff through @davidp14 windshield. I’m assuming his head would have gone with it.
The last several weekends but I finished my drawers. The main Caracas was given to by local badass @BlueCruiser84. I built the drawers, wings, and covered the top. Camping/cooking stuff is in the bigger drawer on the ds and tools and more...
It was a fun project. If I take one single picture while I’m wheeling, I’ll post it. This is not a thread with extensive content. I’d say I’m too old, but I don’t think that’s true.
Still to do:
-Rear bumpstops
-Get both elockers working
-Rear...
She lives! I put about 45 miles on it so far breaking in the gears. Drives really well. I outdid my expectations.
There’s the obligatory flex shot. It had more to go but I ran out of dirt pile.
Still a bunch of loose ends to tie up, but it’s...
