New towers . Funny but not funny. I think I bought these 3 years ago now when I started to do the SAS on my FJc

. Anyways. I looked everywhere for the second one

Finally I thought hmm look under my daughters bed

And there it was with some other parts I had forgot I had . I can not tell you how much I want this thing done and all these extra parts GONE !!! Few more months and it’s going to be good

Just want to give a Shout out to Georg and his crew at Valley Hybrids . When i had them build my T-case they did a excellent Job , as to be expected But what sets them apart is the follow up calls after to make sure everything was good . Now i had a small issue since i run a TH400 trans they make a Smaller front flange . Georg even sent that. but what i dint know is you have to get the rest of the parts and build a new front driveline . Not a huge deal as i am changing things around anyways . I got a call again today asking how things were going and i told them good i just bought the rest of the parts. no biggie. but now since i went with new diffs my pinion flanges are the fine spline triple drilled but my old smaller square style yokes do not even line up so i need to get some of the new 76 and up style that are larger . i just looked at my emails and seen a email saying parts sent

They just Handled it. and it was nothing to do with anything they did . So i can not say enough good about Valley Hybrids . Thank you guys. Georg i owe you one :cheers:

Tonite was arts and crafts night . Stopped at hobby lobby to get some stuff to make a templet and they had 1 of the land cruiser signs

. Then I made a templet for the hydro ram mount . I cycled the suspension and I have 4.5 of up before my steering will hit the frame. I wanted 4 so we should be good there. I still think I might notch and put a piece of c channel in just to be on the safe side . But as it is should be good .

This thing is almost ready to go on Craigslist

. I had some parts show up today So I figured I would complete that project

. That joy was short lived when I got the correct box but in correct part in the box

So now we wait again. The urgency to get this thing done is starting to bother me .

Good things take time, like whiskey and wine...

Trying to stay positive and look to the bright side

. Since I have had to pretty much reinvent the planet with this new T-case

. I figured since it is now correct I might as well get rid of the old Trans pans that was cobbled up to work before and get a new pan

. So that also showed up today along with new gaskets and bolts . So I swapped that out. This pan has a skid plate made onto it . The end has to be coming

. Just let me have 1 good trip that’s all I ask
