That hydroboost pressure reservoir looks huge! Should be good for a couple of pumps with no power.

Yup, that used to be a anti-wrap bar to control "S" curving spring packs and protecting the pinion angle/u joints. No really needed for a spring under set up unless running some monster power. Usually seen more on spring over set ups.

Honestly I'm surprised the alternator even spins with such little belt contact. Since you have several rigs to choose from perhaps the Landcruiser becomes more fair-cold weather and your other options can fill in during really hot months/trips. Or maybe the heat just doesn't bother you so it's...

Great build, 43's will be monsters!

Do you take these anywhere to get balanced after you've welded them up?

Shackle has too much angle. You will not get the full benefit of going with longer springs at that angle. It needs to be more upright like closer to 45 degrees on your angle finder. Currently the spring rate could end up too soft.

That's why I painted my new 6bt project black. They always leak! :dead:

That's looking good. What applicator/gun are you using to spray on the lizard skin?

In general, the more cooling surface the better. Radiators of the same size/rows - the bypass design will offer more cooling potential. It forces the coolant to take a longer path in the radiator which will increase heat exchange.

Haha, there are several of us that have already built a Turbo Trail Cruiser.

I remember getting new glass after years of looking through the cracks and pits. I had to touch it a couple times to believe it was actually there. It's great having clear glass.

What are your issues with the drivelines? CruiserMatt runs the NV4500 option with a doubler and I run the 4L80 option with the same doubler set up and the length wasn't an issue. Are you just trying to keep the same driveshafts?

I currently run spacers with 40s. Adding them to your maintenance schedule as @GTV stated is key to not having issue with them on the road.

Good for you Jason to share your story, that takes courage. It's been quite a ride and while I know there are still steps to be taken I'm so impressed with how you have dealt with all of this opposition. The second part of the story of Job records all the blessings he then received from going...

Is your vehicle lift not working?
