Hit a snag- on the 7.3s you have to split the tranny to install the transfer case. Going to replace some valves- maybe mag hytec trans pan- who knows what else! Put my schedule back about 3 days.

Undercoating whatever we can reach while she is on the lift...

Looks awesome. Nearly done!!!
Have fun in DV! We camp at Mesquite Springs pretty much every December on our way to/from Lida for our annual tree cutting trip (after we get our permits from the Bishop BLM office, of course). Such a rad place!

Keep at it brother. Mine has been 3 years in the making -from planted seed- to selling a good Tacoma - saving for the 4x4 kit and now the install. I hear it's worth it- and I'll let you know this weekend!

Driveshaft w beefy cv and spicer joints.

It's nuts. Taller than I thought- looks like I could tuck 37"s hahah. I'm super happy and can't wait to put some more miles on it today.

Insert Prius here. 22" of articulation in the rear.

Everything looks so damn ************. I'm gonna take her through the mountains and desert today- more updates to come.
