Pics. few more to come. had to use cameraphone so pics ain't great but you get the gist. Truck is nice and level. Still has some cruiser lean but not too bad. It's kinda tough to climb into now.

My 80 is clean and just sitting now, need to order the rest of my front axle rebuild parts next month and get it into my garage and commence with the mess.

Nice job Flipper, it's looking good, the next owner is going to like what you've done!
Second that, but not so sure. This one might stick around for a while.

changing the oil in the 4runner today. 
Finally pulled off my Warn HS9500 yesterday, it's been non-functional for almost 2 years now. Found lots of rust and water damage. Motor is toast (rust), as is one of the planetary gears. Parts are almost $600. Crap.
Lesson learned: winches are not weatherproofed very well. If you have one, take it apart now, anti-seize all the bolts, clean out all the water before it's too late.

Spent the good part of Saturday installing some Rocky-Road super sliders on my 4Runner. The firsy one took me almost two hours. These sliders attach at the body seam and then to the frame. Drilling out the five body seam holes and then getting the slider up to hang it was a challenge. Especially when a few holes are a 32nd of inch off. In any case, the 2nd took like 30 minutes. Now I'm ready for my next run.
Saving up some cash now for an ARB locker and skid plates. Hopefully those will be done before the spring.

Learned how to weld TIG upside down on Sunday. Finally have shock mounts on my rear axle. My truck is one step closer to an inspection!

I wound up not doing squat all afternoon. Ha d killer headache by the time I got home from grocery shopping.
Spent some time at Rick place yesterday. We took a trip to the machine shop to drop off my 2F head to be redone and the crank to be micro polished. Then spent a couple hours cleaning the block and chasing all the bolt holes.
some pics for the guys who just hang out here on yankee toys..

looks great!
I changed the oil in the 4runner and worked on work-work most of the day.
Sara is starting to feel better so that's a plus, trying not to catch her cold.
