Sorry those pics are shyt. Apparently my smart phone decided it didn't need a flash. Lol

 

[TOY350]

Right on!

So not necessarily as far off as i thought. Still 4° ish more than i asked.

And had MPD fall in behind me, thought for sure i waz going to be a victim.
Nope, not today anyway.

Looks like the brake T is seeping a bit. Rear brakes need to be played with a bit more. Seems like they were dragging a tiny bit.
Otherwise nothing fell off. Definitely need to get bumpstops back on.

Here we are again. Took a few more measurements today. Looks basically like the best ill be able to get is 10° pinion. (without cutting the balls off)
My DL angle said 15-16...
According to the old notes it looks like these are stock numbers minus the fkd up perches.

Today i wasted time looking for a different tool......

I did cut off the perches and flapper disc'd ready to mock back up.

Oh ya. I added some more shyt for Brian's care package.

No pics today but the front is welded out. Aside from the axle side ram mount. My original plan didn't really work/fit. So back to the drawing board. I will need to grab some more material to finsh.
In theory, tomorrow could be the last fab day

(edit: i typed this last nite and apparently didn't post. Sorry about the fkd up context)

TR side assist mount.

 

[gnob]

Moar.
Front is basically done. Needs fluids.
Going to knock out rear bumps after dinner.

 

[retrofive]

I take it you’re about 14.5* caster now?

 

[gnob]

Ya. Why **** it a little when you can **** it alot?



According to my faulty gauge i was around .5°

 

[gnob]

THIS FÚCKING DEBACLE IS FINALLY OVER!!!!

[TOY350]

Right on!

Went to elderberry for a little bit today. The trail leader broke an axle on the rear of his xj and that was pretty much that.
Selectable front locker is a yuge improvement.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

It looks like a matchbox toy.... Killer!

You should get some Snail Racing badges cut to put on those things... You had to fab enough on them.... I bet Matt could make them.....

 

[gnob]

Definitely like the idear. In talks with a sticker guy currently...

Minute mod.: LEDs for the Elocker switches.

Was having kind of a hard time seeing the indicator lights in the switches in the daylight.
Went to superbrightleds.com and picked up some NEO4s. NEO4 Instrument Cluster & Gauge LED Lights | LED Car Light Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs:
