Well The Bronco Project is waiting for money right now.
Most the shiet done to the Yota will be Fabricating and Free.
Just time consuming.......
Got the springs and new shocks done today, Power steering
and Welding will be tommorow. Maybe the Tube doors started and a tire carrier will also get put on. We shall see.
As for Elbe. Hell Yeah I will have some pix and reports.
Riana will be driving for most of the Elbe trip So I get
Picture Duty.

In that case we will need before and after pics of the yota. ^^^^^^^ That was my before above^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Only did boring stuff today, well I did the Springs and shocks yesterday But thats not much of a pic post. LOL.... Today I got the Diff welded up, I found out its 4.56 gears. Then I did a TG U bolt flip. I needed it once I took out the Leafs. Still really limited flex but now its because of the shocks and shock mounts. but I did get it up about 2 and a half feet compared to the 10 inches I had before..... Running Swamper Truxus this weekend My buddy is letting me borrow since I am getting to the bottom of the wallet.. Found out I need some 1 or 2 inch wheel spacers or differant rims..... Oh also got some tube bent for the doors,,,,, Need latches and paint to finish them,,,,,,, And twisted up some flat bar for the spare tire carrier...... Damn tired,,, Beer time for me. Night all. |

Tested out the Suspension....
Before the spring work I only got about
15 inches before I lifted a tire.
The largest Bolder in the Front yard is 36
inches and I am parked on top of it. All

Gotta Give credit to Harley(MudAddict) and Dave.
While I have been at work all last week they did a lot of the Work on the Yota to get it ready.
Harley did the Exhaust, Was a major reason the steering actually
got done in time, Helped Dave with the springs, and new radiator.
Loaned me a spare tire,
All around Dave and Harley have been great to me and Riana
in helping us get on the trail this weekend.
