Thanks for the kind words. It may get lowered down some. Guessed on the spring rates.

Hey Paul, I like that sign sitting behind your fuel cell.
Yes great sign. I know this guy that does good work eh? Lol
Hey Ryan sorry to jump on your build tread. Again, would you guys take a look at my new rear driveline and the pinion angle and tell me it that look ok. I can adjust my 4 link to tilt the pinion upward if needed. Thanks.
What does your front angle look like compared to the back? It might be the camera angle but it kind of looks like the angles are not equal, which isn’t a problem if you have a cardan joint at the transfercase?
Yes. I have a double Cardan at the Tcase
What are the angles at full droop? It looks fine to me but others might have better advice. The only question that I have is whether any of that grease made it in the joint 
Clean all that grease out that is just going to fly everywhere

Like Mike said, it might be the camera angle. To me it looks like the pinion needs to point up some.
Agreed. Here's a visual of the driveshaft line running into the pinion. This should hit the center of the pinion not the bottom of it like it is now.
Thanks everyone. I will adjust slightly.
Apologize if you mentioned before, but what is the new wheelbase?
Thank you!
Another reason I got the long version Bandeirante was the wheelbase, 109”.

If you are asking about mine, I think I’m about 112”
Yes. Thank you!
My Bandeirante is up for sale, but my plan was to link the suspension on 1-ton axles.

Started working on the track bar the other night. Need some different misalignment spacers. Also waiting on the Barnes high steer kit and steering arm kit

Waiting on parts for track bar, high steer, and steering arms. So I decided to work on the brake booster
Booster is out of a 2007 Tacoma

Worked on the top a bit also. Epoxied metal strips on the inside and then fiberglassed over the top of them. Still needs more work but getting there
Ryan, sweet booster. Much small than the original 40 booster. I was just looking at options for my build. Are you planning on running the Tacoma steering wheel. I’m been looking a PRP wheel.
