Well this may not be on topic, but I have been building a rock crawler. It is a 85 4Runner that has turned into a monster with a built 350ci and built th350 with HD K case and shift kit. It is full on longfield chromally axles, birfs, and hub gears solid axle with over steer and much much more....We ran into a mating problem with the new rear drive shaft matig to the pinion shaft, so this vid. is only front wheel drive trying to load it on the trailer in the rain to go to the NW drive shafts to get looked at. She is ugly but she is a trial rig and not show vehicle....alot of work has gone it this and this is the fireing of her for the first time.....alot of work in the future to come but nice to have her running.

Sweet, hope to see you in action with it someday.
Nothing sweeter to my ears than the birthing cries of a good small block hehe.
I can't say enough good things about drivelines NW (same place you went?), we took my Dad's motor home (ford E350 based) drive shaft there and they not only straightened it up, they shortened it by 1/8 and to say it was a smooth ride afterward is an understatement.

Cool man. I too am a fan of Drivelines NW. I don't see why your rig is off-topic. Speaking only for myself, I can only handle so many "mini-van rated" trails.
