    you would think that....but one time of that tire getting stuffed into the sharp sheet metal, and there goes one 42" Tsl....i think he is definatly going to have to cut it further back. He has about a 90* departure angle....

    They look like it from that angle but they really don't stick out that far. I'll get a shot of it tonight. I'm not going to worry about it for now.

    DAVID!

    SLOW DOWN! You are making me look bad, it is looking way too real!

    Good work-keep it going, just go slower so I can catch up!

    You? I don't even have all the parts for my junk yet!

    The FJ is looking quite nice, by the way.

    Yeah, well don't get too wound up. The shack's walls are up, but it still doesn't have power or indoor plumbing.

    Here's some more pics:

    Here's what the approach is looking like:


    Here's a shot of the body mount that I want to cut off and move towards the frame. Also the lip under the floor that will be removed.


    Here's three shots of the front hub. Not as bad as I thought it would be (but not that great either). This would fall under the category of "sacrifices". If called to duty, the hubs just might have to take one for the team:

    I can tell Robert has been helping you... nice jackstand support to the fender bar... where's the vice grips?


    BTW the hub DOESN"T look as bad as I thought at first... hope it works out allright.

    That's what the gas axe is for! Either that, or you need a real grinder.

    they were cast spring perches, not the stamped steal ones that everyone else uses. I'd imagine its the same PITA that taking of the radius arm nubs on a ford axle would be
