BIG UPDATE:
I got my tires!(5) 42x15x16.5 TSL's(thanks interco!) I am trying to scrape some $$$ together for my wheel centers(6-lug for the H1's)

Last week I got a kickin' deal on a R151F with T-case...so it came home with me(oh BTW: FRESHLY REBUILT!) T-case isn't picured

I stopped by Bud's( www.Budbuilt.com ), I told him what I got, then I got this from him :D

I also got a donation to my project...I got a free Co2 tank! I sold my york210 to a buddy, and now I've gotta buy a regulator. :D
I've got my bender now but I couldn't do complex bends with rotation...I can now. I took some initative and built the tool to lock on the tube so I can measure the degrees I have rotated.

Tonight I finally burned in the rear lower link mounts...wasn't too bad. They are PERFECTLY ALIGNED!

I have been contemplating installing a 1.5" body lift onto my rig. Mainly because of the MC08 R10 and wanting a flat belly. I cut down 3" body pucks...they ended up being 1 3/8" after leveling them up. I still don't know if I want to do this or not though.
But here are some teaser pics for ya!

Tonight, me and a buddy(the guy in the pic above with the hammer) bent the 2 rear frame rails! I like the lines of them, I'll post pics tomorrow, after I get the main cab hoop and the upper rail on
 
looks awesome.

How far are you from High Point? I need to come hang out!
 
You are creeping me out with low gearing, stock FJ80 axles and 42's btw..
 
I am running a r151F(4.31) into a 23spline(2.28) into a 23 spline(4.7) into 4.10s(unless I can find a good deal on some 4.88's)

4.31x 2.28x4.7x4.10=232:1....low gearing? Stock FJ axles...ha, I think not 30spline Longfield Birfilelds and shafts and as soon as polyperformance drops the FF FJ-80 rears I'll have them too.

I would stick with the 4:10's..
 
The R151 will help with the on the road driving....It has a good power range....and I'll have enough power with a 3.4(I just can't seem to find a 1UZ-FE locally)
Still making progress! I got the 1.5" body lift on(I know it isn't that much work)

Here you can see how well the main hoop follows the cab lines

How hard was it bending the tubing to follow the cab line? lookin good man.
 
Sweet

I like it. The bends look sweet. Multiple bends are confusing. I'm not smart enough to do them.

I like the tubing. What did you have to give for it? Was is cheaper than DOM?

THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENTS!
 
So, FedEx came by the house today. Again. And once again, they left me a present.
Picture249.jpg

I opened it and guess what was inside? SWEET! My 6-lug centers!
Picture250.jpg


I finally took the time to breakout the grinder and smooth up the edges where I plasma cut the factory 8-lug centers out. When I cut them out I couldn't cut close enough tho the edge without a risk of cutting too much out(geez, that sounded repetative). It left about a 1/8 of an inch all the way around...it took me about 30min and 1.5 grinder discs
