Well I keep moving backwards. On top of building new radius arms I stumbled across a manual 1354, which is what I wanted from the beginning. So now I've got the doubler assembly back out of the truck and spread across the work bench once again. I should have it back together in the next few days. It looks like I'll be able to use a stock front driveshaft from a sploder now which will save me some $$. Ballistic fab is dragging ass on getting my parts to me for the radius arms. This is the second not so great experience I've had with them, it may just be the last.

looks like its coming along good man. im getting close to finishing my d30 swap. i eneded up goin with waggy leafs though. im very interested in the rear 3" toyota leafs, how much lift did that give you? if possible next time your workin on it could you get a measurement from the bottom of the frame down to the ubolt spring plate.

Been a long time since the last update. Haven't worked on it quite a while for a variety of different reasons but now I'm back at it. Since the last update I've got the doubler cases put back together and reinstalled. I have my extended arms built, minus the rod ends being installed. Right now I'm working on the new crossmember that serve as both an attachment point for the new arms and a support for the rear-most case. Everybody loves pics so here ya go.

New arms (2"x0.250" DOM) welded up and boxed in

Mocking up new arms

Finished the new rear cab crossmember off with some bracing

The new radius arm/rear case support crossmember

Counter sunk bolts for a flush mount

Some goodies that showed up yesterday

motorbill87 · 01-22-2010, 07:28 AM

Looks good! I like the sliders. Wish I had the luxury of working on my rig in a shop like you. Keep up the good work

**Maverick** · 01-26-2010, 02:40 PM

Thanks for the comments guys, it's good to be back at it again.

Chance, I'm definately up for any sort of wheeling adventure once my rig is done.
