well after this weekend and doing some playing and testing of my F toyota looks i need to make a few more changes to it

going to have to cut out the rear front mounts and move them foraward by a least 1.25 inches as the rear spring are going over center and locking so i have no suspension in the rear it just becomes very ridiged

not sure why but sitting with out and weight on the rig there are sitting at 88 degrees then with weight the move to 44 degrees but when you start driving and hitting bumps the go all the wat up and lock

also going to have to replace the fron shackle mouts with different ones as i am having the same problem in the front it is against the frams and i have no movement in the springs

other then that it was a lot of fun on some of the easy trails around sand lake this weekend

yes thing are always changing
one of the planed changes this winter is going to propane.
and to re do the floor of the rig making it a little better and a little more stiff with a better sub frame

also thinking about going to a 7 inch dual brake booster which may give me a better line for the steering shaft and just clean it up better on the frame some thing could have been done better

but it was a blast to play with this last weekend even the cops out there tried it out and we talked they are looking for someting better suited for trails then there current trucks as we have sevearl riding areas here

they want to try it again in 2 weeks when we are back out there for the sand flea rally the weekend of the 16th
