Gear it low enough and you don't :)

Although I want one... just in case!! I picked up the hydraulic line lock from Poly Performance, just need to plumb it in.

I want the Supra brakes!!!

I might drive up, but I don't think it will see the trail.

1) no shocks
2) no 4x4 since I don't have that straight axle tube
3) no time to plumb the locker
4) no ebrake yet

Ah, then bring the delux, no sense in ogling a giant paper weight.

That's Mr Asshole to you
The forecast looks great. Wunderground is usually very accurate.

Sorry about that. You know that you can do the hose clamp mod instead of swapping out that tube right. I'll find you a thread, I've seen hundred's of them and rarely hear of anyone swapping out the axle tube.

Bring the tube this weekend if you remember

It's already loaded in the truck, only problem is it's still attached to the front diff. I haven't tried very hard, but I don't know how to get the axle stub out to pull the tube. I'm bringing plenty of tools also, I'm sure we will figure it out.

You'll likely need some sort of puller or slide hammer, couldn't be anything more than a simple splined shaft inside the tube with possibly a snap ring on the end.

Okay, I finally put the gas tank back in, reconnected the driveshaft, and removed the e-brake cables. Then I pulled this hoe out to see the light of day for the first time in a month.

Here you can see the extended wheel base. The wheel well will look much better once I finish the wrap around bumper

I really need an alignment, but it looks like the tires stick out the same front and rear

Have you changed your panhard length? We're going to lengthen Mario's this weekend since the passenger side is out about an 1-1.5 inches.

Looking good - too bad the body didn't need paint - It would be cool to push the wheel well opening back 5-6 inches!
