Hurry the hell up, I wanna see that thing flexed out. Really wanna know if that LT is as good as all the hype claims.

The hype says it's good and worth the $1K. It wil never perform quite as good as a $3K kit, but it's less maintenance, and will be great for DD and long trips.

The thought of LT has me scratching my head wondering why I want to go and cut off all the stuff toyota spend thousands of hours and dollars on developing with the front suspension. Almost makes me want to sell all this axle swap stuff and place a hefty order with total chaos or camburg.

I'm itching to get out there too. I assure you that the second I have some rear shocks, I'll be doing some outlaw wheeling up in a creek bed 'round here.

Carefull now wouldn't want to hurt any en-danged species, but do get a couple of pics of it destroying nature in a tread lightly kind of way.

Did you see the link to that custom LT build on TTORA? I'll bet you could build something like that. It would take awhile though

If you can sell that axle for what you paid for it, you'd easily be able to afford LT. Except I don't know how well IFS likes 37s

Some kid rode by on a bicycle and said "I like your truck". Made me feel cool, :cool:

Always fun! :D

Finally installed the Ironman torsion bars. They are freaking thick. Also cut notches in the shock buckets and welded on some tabs instead.

A good pic of full drop on both sides. I can't get over how much travel there is

Amazing stuff (or Un-stuff) there!!!

Heres the awesome shock tab jig we used to make sure I tacked them straight

Which LT build are you referring to? I've seen several that looked very interesting, the one I liked the most was an H2 on pirate did LT from the ground up with RCVs HP44 center section and dana 60 outers with custom spindles and control arms was pulling ridiculous travel numbers with ridiculous strength to boot. But I digress as there is no way anyone will pay for my axle and stuff for what I have invested in it, no one is going to pay 3+grand for a dana44.

That is the one I have been following as well. On 38's as well

Move the turn signals into the side markers, its a "cut and paste" job...then it wont matter if you bust em

Who the fuck is Rib?

I think they'll be just fine. I ain't no crazy cholo

What are you trying to say?

^ This is my plan. I'm not sure how much better it will be because I busted a side marker also but at least they won't be in the bumper.
