[CJY91LUXXY]

Fair enough. I think you should turn it into a tourer now at least then youll get some comments about it. Doesnt anybody like hardcore builds.... Wheres the comments!!!!

looking good mate, nearly there

[54SED]

its officially sitting under its own weight now. By my measurements the front will be just over 2.5" higher than the rear, and front diff has moved forward around 3", should give enough clearance for 37's. Will get the wheels on tomorrow and look at the shock mounts

Good stuff Aaron... You must be glad the grinding is over.

You enjoying this build... or just want it done?
How many days you got left until it needs to be rolling?


Cheers
Matt

[54SED]

enjoying it in parts but abit over the late nights, not sure how buddy does it all the time

sunday is the latest to have it rolling again. I am having problems finding bolts to suit the spacers, its really holding up progress. If I cant get some bolts this arvo tonight will just be about getting the shocks and bumpstops in. Bit annoying that with the bolts I could bolt the wheels on in about 5 minutes

[54SED]

well only thing left to do is fit the brakes and the steering (steering box will need to be relocated)

last night got the shocks and bump stops in

[rwnslux]

are you going to be in the shop this arvo around 5pm mate? coming in for a hello and to pick up the UCAs

[amitch888]

I would say billstein's by looking at them, and 12" from memory

[54SED]

right on the money parr. tonight I am doing the brakes and hubs. Might look at the steering to (will be the last thing it needs to drive again)

[Hilux Max]

Nice build mate....will be great to see it conquering the terrain on 37's.

[D4D luxy]

This is awesome! Been watching from the very beginning can't WAIT to see it done! Top work mate!

[danmcccc]

so whats the plan for the rear end aaron??? be a shame to have a gnarly front end with an everage rear

eventually 4 link. for now not much... have other things I need to save for. The truck really is a hobby that I spend extra cash on. For now I may just run longer shocks, change the rear shackle mount and run extended shackles... be a cheap fix for now.

As for last nights progress.... rotors and hubs are on, brakes are 90% fitted. Steering is all thats left before I can drive it out of there really

[54SED]

well shes getting there! Really just needs steering connected to be driveable

[helmut79]

Top effort mate, cannot wait to see some pic of it in action

[white_hilux]

thats looking great mate well done

[54SED]

thanks guys, heres a couple extra pics from last night

this shows approach angle on 31's, really clear here how far forward the diff has been moved


just a pic of the front end together (minus steering)

[rwnslux]

we wanna see flex shots
