Phase II, S.S. Minnow build thread

It even stops the cup from spilling when the truck is on it's side. That's impressive.

The end of my IFS......

It went out in style getting stuck on a rock/dirt staircase. Because I do not have lower gearing, I had to nail the skinny pedal pretty hard and slammed the steering up against a rock and bent "something". I'd post a pic of where it is obviously bent, but it's hard to tell. Instead of repairing it, it will be replaced with something else during the low lift SAS.

Good bye IFS!

Nice!

My guess on the steering issue: passenger wheel hit one of the stairs hard and with the force of the tierod pushing on the long steering bar (the part that the tie rods, idler arm and pitman arm connect to) bent up the idler arm and possible even the pitman arm.

OFF WITH THE IFS!!!

And the last video of the Minnow wearing an IFS front end:



And I had to get some shots of this SWEET FJ!!

Sprayed down all the nuts and bolts left with PBB, but much of it will just get cut.

 

[SV_Dude]

We'll done! Keep it up!

I had thave that same shiny spot on my sector/ pitman arm. Good job glad you committed to it. I hope to take my body lift off and cut the fenders like yours in attempt to keep it low.

Finally! Had I known all that was needed to start the SAS was breaking the steering I would've helped when we were in MOAB!:trophy:
