Edit: Is that going to be a 2 wheel drive rig?
Seems like a lot of nice work on the rear just to keep a front end that definately won't keep up.

What's this??!!
A post from Andy?!......Holy Crap! Good to see you're still lurkin around.....I thought you'd been hauled off and sacrificed to the Toyota Gods or something.........

It will still be 4wd....I've got a brand new atlas t-case in there
. The front gets a little over 12 inches right now, although it's barely bent. The front suspension feels pretty good, it was the back that was lacking. I'm sure once I get the back done, it'll be the front that sucks, but I'm doing one step at a time. I'll change the torque converter before I do the front, its got way too low of a stall speed. In low range, even with an auto trans, it take both feet on the brakes to keep it from moving.

TCS built mine and loosened it up for that same reason. With 5.13s in low range it is not hard to hold now.

How much did that run you? I know it's for a different tranny, but just wondering for a ballpark.

I want to say about $300 at the most is the going rate, but that is with a lock up converter. It may be cheaper depending on what tranny you are running. Mine got brazed fins and was loosened up a little. Call Rusty at TCS he is in the Havasu shop. He will set you up for what you need. I wouldn't go with too much stall because it will heat up the tranny on the trail.

I'm running a C4, no lock up. I do have a pretty large cooler, though with a Spal 10" fan on it.

Just some odds and ends....re-doing the exhaust, build a new floor board, mount the swaybar, limit straps, and a little re-wiring.
Won't be long, hopefully.
