Are you moving the rear axle back or is it just the angle of the pic that is making the rear look way off center. Or is it just me,... Being retarded as usual

alright, got a bit done on the 40 today.
pulled the axle
flipped the springs, made new pins.
modified the new perches.
the new brake lines are here, as well as the new ubolts.
i guess still up in the air on the front brakes. when i saw they were vented, i thought someone had swapped them, but i guess not. so we will see if it has late knuckles on it later.

I thought the LC rotors were vented, even on the early ones. Lookin' good.
I've got a 3fe that needs a new home if he really wants a project...

so i love it when a plan comes together.
the spring over is pretty well done.
need to weld out the perches.
springs are flipped end to end, gaining roughly 8" of wheelbase.
i am thinking the springs may need to be reworked to drop an inch or two.
its gonna be TALL when the new shoes show up.
picked up the ubolt kit and stainless brake hose from man-a-fre. (great selection, weak ass website, looks like its the OG design from 96
)
still need to swap the brakes and knuckles.
fate seemed to have forced my hand today.
the crawler started making some noise in the driver front wheel hub, so teardown tomorrow.
updating my 4runner to FROR 3rd gen 4runner brake upgrade.
then my wheel hubs, with 60 rotors and mini IFS calipers as well as mini birfs will go onto the 40.

Need to mount the steering box. We got material to sleeve the tie rod and drag link. Ended up having to source an 80 pitman because i guess the taper in the 60 one is queer. We decided to build our own drivelines. The rockers are 2x3. 3/16 angle.

Number 6? No longer available from SOR. Someone around here has to have a couple. My buddy John should.

Just let me know if you want me to try and track that or those parts down from John. He can be hard to get a hold of but is usually very reasonable on prices.
