Had the day off and figured I would dive into the rear 3 Link frame side design. Finally have some hard numbers to go off to build the cardboard copy and test fitment. Everything is 1/4".

Decided to take the truck up to uwharrie. I haven't been up there in about 3+ years or so. It was humbling going from a purpose built buggy to a full bodied leaf sprung truck, 35s, and only a front locker. All in all the truck did great and I am very pleased.

I think I may have passed you on my way home from Uwharrie yesterday. If so, have fun man.

Not much new... just been working her everyday. Finishing up a few house things, then back onto the truck. Also thinking about jumping up to 37's. I am geared for it... may have my 5x 35s with wheels for sale shortly.. about 60% tread, although I will get an actual measurement on tread...

More stuff from ruffstuff... Rear 3 link bungs and lower axle side hiem mounts (3/8" bad boys). Rest is for the front end, still waiting on the shock tower hoops, should be here monday. Since I only hammock camp, there are 3 major issues I run into. Rain protection is only while IN the...

The most important thing to do (besides updated maintenance) is just go camp. Bring your gear and head out to a trail. Bring a pad of paper and write down problems you face and upgrades to solve them. A lot of it comes down to quality of life out on the trail. A plain o Jane TRD will do just...

Do you need something new??? I daily my 82 and love it. The money I save goes directly into camping gear and performance/maintenance parts and would jump into it tomorrow and head off to the west coast without thinking twice. I agree with MazeVX, I think it should really pivot on what the...

Last weekend... Also picked up some 14" short body 7100s for the front of the yoter. Have a bunch of builder parts coming from ruffstuff to get the front end done.

Well, after looking further into building a rear anti-wrap bar and the work that was involved with doing so, I decided to continue with my idea of doing a 3 link build on the rear end. Personally, I don't mind leaf springs so much in the rear, its the front that really needs links IMO...

Pm'd you.

You could put an S bend in the plates so that way you can open the hood without removing them. I would imagine a 1/4" bend over and up would give you hood clearance.

On a more productive note.... Finally got the new limiting switches in, so much better than the old POS that I tried to use. Everything is officially wired up, rockn and rollin! Since I was running 12v to the bed, I decided to purchase some red LEDs for the cargo area. I went with red...

I will look into the motor mounts and will have to measure my engine-to-hood. Because I am running a 3RZ, I may not have enough clearance.... as far as raising the trans and case, I would have to cut out a section of the tunnel to make it fit. Right now I have 1/4" clearance from the top of...

I decided to try and reverse the anti-wrap bar and go back behind the axle which will give me the negative anti-squat I need for the truck to perform correctly. The only problem is the more the axle droops, the more aggressive my degrees get (similar to what I am running into with the rear axle...
