    Nope. I don't even have it back together yet.
    I don't get much garage time to work on it.

    I have a Marlin Crawler pitman arm for their cross over set up if you need it. I ran into clearance problems with the drag link/tie rod the way mine was set up and had to go to a flat arm. There if you need/want it. PM me.

    BTW, if I haven't mentioned it, WabFab has the absolute best prices on FJ80 tie rod ends. $20 each.

    Hey Danny, I can't believe you outboard your calipers like that! Everyone that has never done it knows how dangerous that is! Aren't you afraid of careening out of control into a school bus - driven by the pope, loaded with pregnant women, puppies, baby seals and kittens playing with yarn!!! You maniac!

    It's good to see that thing coming along.

    I'm not worried about the pope, it's the kittens I'll be staying away from. They can get pretty viscous sometimes.

    I'd be worried more about the pope if I were you. He has way too much power and influence already...you do not want him behind the wheel....

    I think I'd be safe as long as I didn't let any small boys in my truck or drive near any groups of small boys.

    Wow, talk about bringing something back from the dead.

    I don't even have pictures of the 4runner lifted on here
    OK here they are:
    Here is right after the lift testing the articulation

    NOW THE REASON FOR THE UPDATE.....

    I won a set of sliders from Jim Beedon(Solid Rock Off-Road) around Christmas time and I have finally gotten my truck down to him.

    Here they are.




    I will get some good poser shots of them this weekend up at China Wall for the 1st Anniversary Run
