here we go!!! the 8" stock axle is still in the back...hopefully be doing the 9.5 this weekend.
I'm sitting at 109" wheelbase, stretching the back out 1" to bring the final WB to 110",
ground to frame is an even 23" all the way around!
This is what I call ground clearance!
Squatting a bit because the back end is full of material, parts and tools
a couple quick notes...
- for the break booster and mc, i had to actually clock the booster 180*, the mc on the 4runner is centered offset down and the fj80 is offset up...no biggie
- I used the stock fj80 abs wire harness to run up to the frame actually infront of the steering box and just took the old pins out of it and place the pins from the 4runner abs harness in the equivalent locations... so my speedo works! my abs light is still on but that was on before the sas so i'm assuming it's something in the rear axle... we shall see
-i've put about 150 miles on it since i finished it up and it runs great, i need to align everything still as it has a bit of a toe out going on but other than that it tracks great, rides smooth, no bump steer, a little bit of break steer but no biggie there....
- i need to install the steering stabilizer as stated before but haven't decided how i want to do it.
-I got a FROR cross member in from a guy on pirate without the bushings, thinking bout mounting it with these....
any thoughts? or should i just order the stock bushing kit from FROR
- also i love this design for a t case skid plate ....
...and since I'm planning on going to 3link next summer anyways i figure this might be good to go ahead and get and make my life easier then
