]2eDeYe Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Thanks, excited to be getting close. I loaded the suspension up to set the pinion angle, a little settling won't change it much at all. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Cool. I honestly figured you did, but......... I have the bed full of stuff and a canopy on it so there is extra weight. I jacked it up under the axle until the springs were the only thing supporting it, then I hung off the tail gate to seat them. After that I set the axle on jack stands still supporting the truck. Then I set up jack stands to go under the springs to get just enough release at the axle to align and rotate it. Should be good, appreciate the concern :) I thought you already cut the hole in the diff... Then I plugged it. :lol: I think I have created a monster, we started with one pumpkin on Monday night and now she's almost finished 2 more and is still excited for the other 2 we haven't done yet. :rofl: She still has to cut out the OO! from the BOO! on that last one :D 1 Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Do you ever sleep?????? I can take 11" out to remove the overhang of the no longer used back body mount. I am digging the canopy on it though so we will see. Don't do it. I wish I hadn't. I think it screw'd up the look of the truck. It does make for a good departure angle though. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Its doesn't look awful though. If it were just a wheeler a bobbed bed is what you want but its not a necessity. Quote Link to comment

It does make for a good departure angle though. About 7hrs a night if I am lucky :lol: Yeah, I think it doesn't look as balanced. I can build a stout bumper to land my ass on, but honestly departure angle hasn't been an issue so far. I've also convinced my girl that camping out of the back of a 620 can be comfy, so the canopy will probably get some use on this truck. :cool: 2 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Got a little fab done in between this mornings welding session, time to get ready for a party now though and pic up some more wire :lol: Bent the old fashion way in the hitch receiver on the yota. Tacked in Other side was easier. 3 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Man, this mount is going to be stout! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I sure hope so :lol: Got some more wire. The axle is all welded up and I started pulling the trans t-case mount/cross member so I can weld it up as well as the frame rails. should be able to finish that up the next couple days and then it's time to regear my case and start putting stuff back together. After that I can measure for drive shaft mods and new shocks. 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks guys! :D I am liking how it's turning out myself. Finished welding the frame rails and got a large portion of the cradle welded and then I ran out of gas, no more til Monday. Tomorrow I will be tearing into the t-case I guess. Welded up rails. I tacked a bunch of heavy wall tube and angle to the cradle to hopefully minimize warping, will cut them off when I finish welding it up. Cleaned up housing ready for paint psst psssst psssssssssssst psssst psst 4 Quote Link to comment
