]2eDeYe Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 love your style dude ,do me a favor and leave the keys to all your rigs in the ignition and i will just swing by and pick em up one at a time , cause i like all of them . and its my favorite color ... funny story... While at a family drink n eat one of my buddies turned to me and said , "dude your truck is black, your jeep is black, your cars are always black, hell everything except your ol lady is black ! " What can i say i love black ! Every car I have had a choice in color, purchase wise or painted, has gone to black, satin, flat or gloss it's my favorite color. The only reason the truck is staying green is because it came that color and it fit's the truck, same with the red one. You are doing a nice job. You sure you want to get all that work dirty? Thanks man Of course I do, then I can wash it to get it dirty again. :lol: Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Got the t-case and adapter buttoned up, need to throw some paint on the t-case and fab up a cable shifter bracket. ...and back on 4 tires. Now I can pound on the floor to clear the t-case without the truck on jack stands. Need to order a 1310 u-joint to Toyota drive shaft flange and hit the junkyard for a double cardan joint for the front shaft. I am hoping it will give me just enough added length to avoid having the shaft lengthened with the added benefit of lessening my shaft angles. 2 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Looking pretty good man. Thanks man. :) It's like looking at a great ass.....but you can see the thong too.... :thumbup: :rofl: Redeye great job. Curious is the gas tank as low as it looks in this picture? Thanks. It does look low from the back, especially without the tail lights but it doesn't really sit very far below the frame if at all. I may move it up sometime in the future. I may also add another one to the other side as I have one in the shed taking up storage space, will have to see how I feel then. :) 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Started on my cable shifter, Not sure how the lever side is gonna look just yet, still thinkin on that. Some more garage style NC fab. Need to chop up the front shifter rail for the clevis. Ordered the cable and clevis for that side hopefully will be here before Wed. so I can finish it up over Thanksgiving weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Came up with this after a good nights sleep, should work well. Today I get to start building it. :) The cables are 4 ft long, so I should be able to mount it just about anywhere. 4 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Iolo I prolly look like that guy to my neighbors. :rofl: Welded up the t-case cable mount. Cut the rail on the t-case to work with the cable clevis. Started paint, need to coat the underside still Changed the shifter design up a bit to save a little calculation time. Got all the plates but the shifters cut, hopefully will get some time to work on it tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment

It is partially deserved flack :rofl: The powers that be need to change your title from Bastard to Fabricating Bastard! :rofl: He is one of the powers that be, he can change it himself :lol: I try not to take advantage :lol: My yokes came in yesterday and I got them painted, second shifter cable is due in today. I will be dropping my drive shafts off at Oly4x4 after work so I can get them converted to match the new yokes and cut to the correct length. Need to make a couple tabs to hold the LSPV to the frame and install the trans and t-case. Pretty much all that's left after that is measuring for the shafts and picking up 4 new shocks.

Farmer Joe Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 why not delete the the load sensing valve? always had nothing but trouble with them. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've never really had any issues with mine, but would delete it just to make room :lol: How do you go about bypassing it? I tried searching but didn't find anything on it. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 i forget off the top of my head. theres the line in and out for the back that get unioned together. the 3rd line goes back to the front brakes. that gets removed, and the T fitting on the passenger side front brake line gets a plug put in it. might be wrong, but thats how i remember it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Worked just like you said. I couldn't source a cap, so I deleted the T with another coupling WOW!!!! Go hunting for a couple days and all hell breaks loose. Love the cable shift idea. Thanks well see how it works out inside the cab. :lol: Got a bunch done so far this weekend and still have tomorrow to work a bit. Got my measurements into Oly 4x4, they are gonna get back to me with my options regarding a front double cardan shaft. More recycling Couplings Still need to secure all the lines behind the drive train Trans and crossmember back in. Installed the final cable clevises. Installed the 1310 Yota flange Got the tcase in after some clearancing of the floor. Cables run through the shifter hole, doubt it will be this easy.... . Got the starter installed. Need to pick up a new slave cylinder and install that bitchin braided line. :cool: 3 Quote Link to comment
