was that in the very beginning with the stoners? im going to have to watch it again now.

i dont know, how about a full day of cutting everything off and grinding it all smooth. inside and out. then cutting holes through the frame while not overheating the fuel lines(something no one mentioned). and while your performing a SAS you will want to move your axle forward. making you relocate the steering box anyways. its also a helluva lot cheaper to buy some $35 plates for the box than it is to do a sas. either way a $300 steering kit is involved. and most of the time you can find a box for $50 or so dollars.

guess opinions are like assholes...
I'd still start with an IFS truck if I did it again. I'd actually start with a 2wd but there's a whole other set of reasons for that

i agree, only because none of the drive train would be toyota.

I like my jeep but it has alot of money, I wouldn't do it any different except it would be nice to have not fubared the fenders because after that I just didn't care, and it would be nice to have a windshield.

I didn't know anything, but the next truck I build will be either a 4runner, or 2wd toyota w/o a motor, or a JK if I can find one wrecked

i want a fj80 91-97 w/ a blown motor. 5.3 or 6.0 would go in it. Then I could pull my airstream to Colorado, park it at the RV Park and go wheeling for the day!

which ask the question. When did the rear axle go from semi-float to full float? 94?

question on TBI conversions:

do you have to get the same harness for the computer #, or can you mismatch. the only comp i found at P&P that was '7747 had the harness cut because someone wanted the actual TB. also, if im wanting to do fuel and air only, i have to get the wiring for the water temp, everything connected to the TBI, fuel pump relay, 02, and aldl? if not, what else?

Identify!

man says chebby, but i dont remember 10 bolts having the extra large webbing, its also, 5x5.5

[Sharpe]

IIRC chevy 10 bolts DID have a bigass web on the side of the diff that was actually a bumpstop pad but I will have to check the two burbs at my shop tomorrow to confirm. Everything else on there looks Chevy but GM sure as fawk never made a 5x5.5 front straight axle.

[AggieTJ2007]

do you know for a fact the bolt pattern is correct, picture of the diff cover?

[Graystroke]

what about early 10 bolts. like 70's models...I don't think they were 6 bolt yet

here's a pic of 10 bolt..looks the same to me

10 bolts were always 6 lug, unless they were 8 lug. They didn't start until 77.

If it hasn't been mix and matched, it's dodge or jeep. Jeep made some trucks with 5 on 5.5.

si, it is 5x5.5. no pics of the front

How do I tell if I need to replace my tie-rod end links? Alignment shop told me I needed to, but they seem fine to me? (except for a little sloppy steering.)
