Don't get me wrong. I believe you when you say it looks better in person. However, it looks freekin' awesome in the pictures. I am trying not to be too envious but it isn't working. Congrats on a job well done. Keep us posted with how it performs.

Looks good man! Any plans for trussing that rear axle? I'd hate to see it bowed up in the middle after a couple months rompin on it at the dunes and wherever else. I have a buddy who recently put in a trussed 60 in the rear of his 4runner cause he bent his yota 8" prerunning. Just a thought

gotta toast to the better in person. its si,ply stuning. pics don't show the actual amount of work that was done. the rear looks like an entire new unit.anything that connects to the frame looks shiny spankin new.
one thing i have been thinkin about was the width. i was thinkin on 2nd gens that the width was increased by like 3-4 in overall. it didn't really look much wider up fron tthan in the rear. maybe its a 3rd gen thing or a different chaos kit.
get some pics of the bling setup you were talkin about on the remotes. what am i sayin. your gonna fill your camera with pics down in florance.
To those who weren't there, standing anywhere around the truck you stop and look at it. and say "damn it looks really good from here"... ::click goes the cammera::
and you gotta post supervisor possi's inspection, Chelseas' gonna get a kick out of it

HAHAthank you
They say the LC coils are not that stiff so i think it will do just fine i'll let you know.
Got the axles in now i gotta figure out the limit straps
Here is a pic of tha a/c unit. it helps if your right in front of it other wise its too hot to do much good.

First off, this is one of the sickest 3rd gen I've ever seen. I drool over it everytime I look at a picture.
Thought I'd run something by you though, shouldn't that bolt at the bottom of your shock be facing the other way as to not conflict the the CV boot. I know that's the way Sonoran Steel advises people to do it on his lift kits and I've heard others discuss this before.
Again, just trying to be of help. I envy you

I've pretty much read this thread from page 1 to now and wow, what an amazing build. I hope those new cv's come in so we can get some action pictures. By the way, Coors ftw
