Hey

It looks like Rick has another 80 in his tribe. Very nice look I like it.

Yes, now Rick and I have some more company for trail runs.

I took it for a 100+ mile ride last night down to harwich and back. It wanders a little bit around 65, pretty sure I could use a new front driveshaft as well, it was squaking at me upon deacceleration. Could just be the way the ujoint was worn, I ment to replace it but I was too busy replacing everything else!
I was forwarned about the j springs being rough in the back with no weight, 100% correct. It is harsh but the pounds will pack on as time goes on(much like myself) and a rear bumper/tire carrier is in the distant future once more PM is done.

the decel vibs is do to the unloading of the u-joints on that front shaft. You need to move to a DC shaft to solve that problem. I source used tacoma shafts and then have them shortened and high speed balanced. IMO it's the best solution out there since the alternative is spicer and those joints in this application blow.

I've got a couple ready to go if you need something immediate.

 

[rain76king]

Ha, sure if you take payment plans! should probably throw a new ujoint in there for now?

 

[landtank]

u-joints usually don't help. The drive angles are just to far out.
