The end reduction is 2-1, so I guess the diff gears are 3,54.

If you would... How much did those set you back? Locally ive seen them for as much as 3000/set or 4000 for two steering axles...

About 2000usd, and they where cheap. Normal price is about 3500-4500usd.

2K? You suck more! How soon will these be in, and why not just do a hover conversion and be done with it?

The painter is finished inside on the left side of the truck. Next is the right side then outside.

First off I am keeping my leafs, mostly because I need to get it working asap to be able to run it this summer. I hope to do coilovers and links next winter!

I hope to get my truck from the painter in 3 weeks. Then I will take some poser shots before tearing down the axles and putting in the portals.

But I am going to use a bit longer time than necessary, due to competition preparation. But hopefully it will not be difficult

Picked up my portals today...

the original control panel

got my tubes for my front bumper

I had to drive 700 miles to get the axles... boooooring...

No, they are vacuum powered. Its an air valve, but I guess they have electric sensors.

He he, I translated it to you ignorant Americans I guess you wouldn't know a kilometer if it came and sat on you!

Humph! I know kilometers. Don't get much change to use them, but I know em. Stupid government. We should have gone metric ages ago.

New picture from the painter today, the right inside is finished. He will paint the hood tomorrow and start prepping the outside now.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

I know what a kilometer is!!!!! that's like 2/3 of a mile right?

 

[knixen]

he he, one 1km is 1000m-1 mile is 1602 meters, so its more like 5/8 of a mile

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Don't you have a truck to build?

...... and it's 1609.344 meters to a mile... I looked it up...

it's closer to 31/50ths of a mile....

This is tech right? Hehehe
