Been watching closely, dont comment much. I'm a n00b and am just trying to learn. I hope to start my own build up next year (if I dont dump a bunch of money in my FJ Cruiser first) and am trying to learn from seeing what you do. It looks great so far, cant wait to see it together and in action!

Hey guy just went back through the last page, and had maybe a good idea. Theres a drag newspaper here on the east coast that racers use to swap and sell gofast goodies. Might find a set of coil overs there, but prolly be to short donknow just thinkin. and that aint always a good thing. Cant remeber the name of the mag but we bought a rodak motor from someone in new jersey there once and it was sweet.

Thanks, It looks like I'm gonna run airshox all around 2.5's in the front. I am hoping to get an engine this week or next.
I will be SAS'ing an '03 Tacoma soon! Coil-overs are gonna be on it! This is gonna be at the end of NOV.

Im curious, How much weight do those airshocks support a peice? I really like how clean the suspension layout is with such a compact, tidy suspension solution.
Its looking great, i wish i had a mini to cut up, its hard to walk the line between wheeling my truck and keeping it a clean DD.
Keep up the good work, ive enjoyed watching it come together.

The 2.5's support 2x the amount that the 2.0's do. So I figure it'l balance out with them in the front.
Love the set up dude...been following it. Just dont paint it any gay colors and it will be a sweet truck.
Dont paint it at all, it looks sweet as it is.

It's gonna stay the same color, all the tubing is going to be powdercoated black, and the tube bed will just have aluminum panels in it, decorated with decals
Dude! Everyone is watching trust me!!! I know what you mean as I had the same thoughts on my '40 build... Dont sweat it, just keep posting and plugging along!!
Everything looks great!

Well, Just so people know, I'm still working on it. I took the links to a reputable machine shop just a few min ago. I have found an engine and I hope to go get it VERY SOON. After I get it, the Marlin Crawler stuff comes next. Here is what I had to buy.
I now have a website and I have a few guys building it for me b/c it doesn't require welding, cutting, or me pulling wire(I'm an electrician). I'll let you guys know as soon as it is up and going. I've been slammed in the shop recently and it doesn't look like it is letting up BUT every chance I get I'm working on my rig too.

Calculator
What 4 link calculator are you using?
I can't find one, I've searched and all the links that people have posted must be old, because none are working.
I'm about to get started on my 4 link in a month or so.

OK. I FINALLY GOT MY LINKS FINISHED! It cost more than I wanted to spend(but the had to fix what was screwed up)
I did a little more cage work today, I got 2 upper bars in
...and I did a little "testing". I know it is capable of ALOT MORE. I still have quite a bit more travel left
