nice

nice man....

thank you I will take more pictures today i am going to work on it
by the way if one of you guys did install the cando a arms did you remove a metal sleeve for the lower a-arms so that you can slide it in place the shaft

yes you have to remove the bushings and sleeves. sleeves can be a pain. get a big socket and drive em out.

Do you think I am doimg ok to weld the upper plate there

finish cutting off that metal to either side of the rectangular hole. frame should be flat there. then make a filler plate for the large hole under the frame rail. 3/16 or 1/4 is good for that. upper plate placement should be fine there as long as you have spindles and dont have anything larger than 18's with 35 series tires. bigger and you might wanna move it. just tack it in and put everything together and put the wheel on and jack it up.

i am getting 18 inches wheels for it we will fill the hole too

i do have belltech spindles

should be pretty good there then.

thank you for the help since we are bagging the first toyota in the province and we are just starting the scene here I cant wait to drive it maybe in 2 weeks

last night I did learn that it would be better to use slam airbags on my cando a -arms , I was trying to install airlift bag and discover i could not bolt on to the lower a-arm since where we did weld the upper and if i was moving it again it will hit the frame some I made and unexpected trip to Montreal from Quebec city 3 hours drive one way and 3 hours back to solve the problem .

I have learn now i believe heheh
