If I do I need to leave the day before cause it ain't fast and it drinks a lot of gas.
I might bring it if I get my trailer fixed by then. I broke a spring

Have not updated in a while so here I go.
The rear seat has been installed. I went with a bestop fold and tumble trail max II part # 39435. Fits perfect. I still need to put the seat belts in which are the smaller version of the ones I used for the front.
I found some brand new oem turn signals on ebay. Hope to put them on soon.
My search of Craigslist for the past two months finally paid off. Found this today in Covington tn about a hour from the house. Half price of a new one
and no shipping! The seller was building a 67 bronco and lost interest. Said he going to sell the project soon. I saw the frame and running gear and that thing is bad a$$. He is suppose to send some pics of the rest of it and a price if anybody is interested.

To CT and Georg that was my $$ for my springs so I have to start building funds again. Oh well could not pass on that deal.
What springs are you going to do?

Dakar medium. Maybe 2" since I am sprung over. Might do heavy up front. You need to find me a good deal on a HFS 8274 bumper

Made some progress today:
Made a bracket for the linelocks. I have to get the fittings to connect them.
Put the turnsignals on.
Drive line question? Need some input on my drive shaft angles, does it look like I need a CV joint? Or will It be alright the way it is.
I went sunday on a little trail ride, climbed some small hills and flexed it out a little. I do have to say the Orion is Awsome!

Hard to tell, but looks like front may need a CV, especially since the pinion is pointed at the transfer case output. Or, I believe that the single u-joint ends on certain mini-truck drive-shafts have more angularity. I think it's the slip-side found on front IFS shafts from 89+ truck / 90+ 4Runner. I'll try to double check that. Do mini-truck shafts have the same bolt pattern, or is Cruiser stuff a larger bolt pattern?
Sorry to answer a question with more questions...

You really need to lift the truck by the frame untill both wheels arre off the groung and support it with jackstands. Then, with the transmission/t-case in neutral, rotate the shaft and look/feel for binding.
As Jordan said, if your third is pointed to your t-case output you will probably benefit from a cv on the t-case end of the shaft.

Thanks for the DS info. Could not do the Bossman test because my jackstands are to short Or the 40 is to tall
Going to take it to a place with a lift and do it.
