Nice, no time wasted!

🤘🏻🤘🏻 Get it done!!

It'll work until it doesn't! In double low, behind a stock LS 5.3L, I grenaded the stock output shaft in my old Toyota mini-truck doubler as I was coming off idle. Stock 5.3 - W56 - 2.28 (23 spline) 4.7 (stock output shaft). 39" red labels, 5000 lb rig. I'm not saying you're doomed but...

Bitchin' build. I really dig it. Hoping the 1UZ doesn't grenade the tcase output shaft...fingers crossed.

I can tell you from experience it'll be OK 👍

Mock up 4unner body- It's an easy 3 person lift, versus the excavator or skid steer. We drilled out a ton of spot welds and separated the inner fenders - core support from the tub. We set the front up with OME CS010R leafs. I might switch to an off shelf Chevy 47" spring to bring the front...

Building the C&C 14 bolt. 63" WMS, Grizzly, 4.56s, WFO truss, LugNut4x4 brake brackets, 3/4 ton calipers and rotors.

ORD Magnum and freshened up NP205 from the donor W250 w/ ORD shift rails, 32 spline F&R outputs, 1350/1410 flanges, and JB Custom Fab adjustable detents.

Thank you!! This poor truck has been back burnered to our '87 K20 (son's DD and back up tow rig) but in the meantime, we've got a bit more to share. The 205 came out of the '92 Dodge W250 donor. Noah and his boss machined input shaft bearing opening for the larger 80mm bearing, we drilled and...

Fast forward to burning in the front spring hanger - winch mount. The start to laying out the slider boxes. String line to maintain center and mock up springs to play with axle housing positioning.

The model frame was our stock '89 4Runner chassis - typical IFS '86 - '89 4Runner frame. The stock front frame rails being mostly flat generally suck for solid axle swapping one of these trucks and ending up with a low ride height. Steven and I decided to raise the front frame rails of the new...

Steven Barfield - SSChassisWorx (Sschassisworx - https://sschassisworx.com/about-us) finished up the frame July '21 and we brought her home from NC to MD on the way home from wheeling Gore, Va and Uhwarrie, NC. It's all 2" x 4" x 0.125" cold rolled rectangular tube, mandrel bent and hand...

We took the stripped down stock frame to Steven's shop which we referenced for the dimensions of the new frame. Once back home, after a few back-and-forths in SolidWorks, we landed on the final design which kicks the front rails up & in similar to the '84 - '85 frame and added a short flat...

Quick check-in after laying dormant for a couple years now (we started 2 other project trucks in the meantime; an '88 Toyota truck - street build and '87 K20 - 2nd tow rig). Anyway: -New frame: * 2" x 4" x .120'' mandrel bent by Steven Barfield - SS Chassisworx, Norwood NC. * Based of '84 -...
