Looking good.

lots a room

could run another case in there if you wanted .


how far does the petroworks motor mounts push the motor forward?

 

[jwade]

I think it is only 1"

Here are some pics for those of you who like pics. LOL

I really like this X-member from Rock4xfab. I give it a 10. Works great 4 my setup. With this X-member you don't have to cut so much of the trany tunnel out.

I finally installed my Trail Gear 6 stub knuckles. These things are sweet!!

 

[lenross1]

Can't wait for the test drive!

some questions...

The tcase mounts are bolted or welded to the frame? The TG six gun knuckles fit on your diamond housing? Did they have toyota outers on em?

 

[jwade]

Yes the Tcase mount is onlt bolt in and out. The six studs fit right on the diamond with no problem. My inner axles are Longfield's not Dirty 30's. I've heard people have had problems getting the 30's to fit in the 6 shooters.

This is funny. I don't normaly run into people from Zukikrawlers here.

Watch that style of mounting the Tcase. When you do a prop mount like that you can encourage a significant amount of rotational torque on the tcase itself.

I am not sure how stout your frame is, but if you have any frame flex at all, you are looking for trouble. That is why most of the factory designs of tranny mounts are single mounts (more of a traingular pattern if you go from motor mounts to tranny mounts) instead of the square pattern.

Where did you get those cross member mount isolators from? I've been looking for a set like that.

If I ever build a family rig it will be a 80 series landcruiser

I'll keep a close eye on it. Thanx

Some pics from the trip. I'm not sure who won the bet on what would brake 1st. I snaped my rear driver side axle shaft witch was a suprise but easy fix. I've never seen this before but I dumped 4th gear w/both cases in low and twisted the inside of my steel wheel. :shocked!: Over all is was a good trip and a great time. I went in through Meadow lake because the water flow was to high for me. Video to come soon.

Man made damn from the 18-1900's w/some upgrades

The gold mine they shut down in 1876, and a shck the miners lived in.
