Yeah, that was not happening with this one, no problems with any of the others I've been playing with.
It took several rounds of all my weight on my 30" breaker.
This case seems to have a larger and hardened output shaft.

Feels like things are going backwards.
Really, the axle had just been in enough for mock-up, nothing was tight.
Out, cleaned up, painted and ready for final reinstall.

Yesterday was a big day for this little truck!
Up until now, I couldn't bring myself to chop this thing up too much.
Finally got some frame plates and Ford shock towers and had to make room.

What happens when the knuckle turns?
Got it!Don't have rear steer yet
There are soft lines up front, you're looking at the rear axle above, it has full float/disk brake conversion.
From my experience, make a soft line that allows the caliper to come off the axle before you need to pull it off and you can not. A lot easier to do it now before you bleed all the brakes and make a mess. You could even use some short lines from the front of a FJ40. Just an idea.

If you don't know, that's @jamarquardt22 ^^^ killing it with the mig!
He paid the Trekker a visit last weekend and helped officially creat a "built" truck.
He modified and fabricated an awesome rear shock tower, 4" above the stock location, currently shopping 16" shocks for the rear
He helped get my steering box mount and frame plates squared away and burned in the rear springs hangers solid!
He basically came and solidified everything I have been mocking up and twerking with for the last six months.
Should be mostly final assembly at this point!
A big thank you Andy
Wow you’re gonna need 16” shocks in the rear with those Nissan springs?If you don't know, that's @jamarquardt22 ^^^ killing it with the mig!

Picking away, wire brushing, scraping, priming, painting.....
Andy insisted on putting the new rear upper shock mouth behind the rear axle where the LSP valve used to reside.
I thought I would keep it, but I'm glad I pulled it off the frame because it is completely dysfunctional and rusted all the way shut.
