Fall Crawl Truck Preps (1 Viewer)

[Stumpalama]

What are you doing to get your rig ready for Fall Crawl?

Got most of the tough work done this weekend. Lots of cutting, grinding, assembling, disassembling, assembling again.

Just waiting on some parts to finish the job. A flat pitman arm, DOM relay rod, and fittings and hose for the power steering pump to box connection. Apparently my set-up requires a custom hose since the pump has a different fitting (17mm) from the FJ62 box (16mm). I also have to get the steering stub shaft machined to fit a bearing and the 3/4 DD u-joint. Yet another unique requirement because my truck is a late model 40. Yipee.

I WILL be ready... Oh, I also ordered my new wheels and tires

This is becoming an expensive weekend.
