Took some "before it was molested" measurements. Rear 41.5" to the top seam, front, 33.5" to the fender.

Wheelbase, 90.5", diffs, 8.5".

I'm thinking, channel, chop top, candy paint, twice pipes,,,

Inkpot trying to figure which side of the new wooden slipper shackles to grease? Those things are going to be all the rage, no more bushings to worry about, lots of droop, the shizzle!

it's got some major stinkbug, for sure

Nice looking. This things going to be locked isn't it?

At the moment the "plan" is for a rear Aussie only. My guess, it's going to have plenty of flex, will keep tires on the ground more than most 40's, so will wheel well.

We mentioned to Rootbeer, enjoy it while you can, that domineering thing isn't going to last much longer!

real one-up-woman-ship is seat time

The decision not to use the original springs was a good one, they are very worn.

Groovy springs! As in most cases, the picture doesn't do justice to the severity.

This would make a great episode of Pimp my Ride!

Would have gotten more done today, but, lexycrzy was whining something about a clunk from the rear of his rig. Seams like we just put these in, like in April, just before the Utah trip. They were Raybestos, "professional grade". The moral of the story, buy Toyota for this part!

Alledgedly they are Raybestos "professional grade". Hard to believe they deteriorated that fast..Bummer...... Nothing like Mr T's parts.
