Just out of curiosity, did you ever get the new front setup done (control arms, new bag mounts, Toyota spindles) like you had mentioned earlier in the thread? If not, I would seriously consider redoing the front bag mounts. The gussets there are not big enough to distribute the load evenly, and in time will peel right off the frame...
Ya he is re-doing the front in the spring and if you had read the thread more you would have seen that we already talked about how the other guy that did this screwed it all up. but it will be fixed later as well as the body and other problems the truck has.
hah..I did read the whole thread...and I know you didn't do that front setup....I was just wondering if it was going to be fixed before it hit the road. You could probably just run a couple sets of gussets off the top of the plate to the control arm mount for now just to give it a little extra strenghth till you get a chance to re-do them....but as it sits right now, if he drives it pretty regularly, they probably wont make it till spring.
ya I am hoping he gets home and back in the spring but it will hold for how much driving he is going to be doing by the time he gets it home he might be able to drive for a month and then it will be put away and then back here in the spring.
True.... In the Spring time the front end will be as clean as a Whistle... Trust me, after i saw it, i wasnt to happy at all, and even more pissed when shit just didnt work, mistakes happen, but enough with that.
