cool

what was the most expensive and/or time consuming thing you had to do?

PS
did you teach yourself to weld?

 

[lowtideride]

expensive um wheels and tires...Time Consuming most def had to be spring bolts and shackle bolts.

Yeah I bought a welder for the spring over and taught my self how to weld...Just read read read then pratice and ya got it.

maybe it will go easier for me, no rust under my rig(seen pics of yours). im getting a welding book from a buddy he took it as part of his Ag curriculum back in our college days.

ps
cant get over how clean waggoners truck looks!!

A little OT, but does anyone do a cut 'n turn on just the front? Or do most people do it on both. I know that on my 84 the front drive shaft is shorter. I'm thinking one day when I have money I'll do an SOA and a 5spd swap at the same time.

 

[lowtideride]

They just do it on the front from what I've heard. You can pick one up for like 150 with a core.

i think you can just rotate the rear axle.

the ferg did an soa on his fj60. post up ferg

 

[lowtideride]

yeah he cut and turned his...I dont know why you would do it to the rear the 60s rear drive shaft is one long mofo.
