Thanks for letting me help out, it's awesome to be there working on these rigs and being able to pick your brains on certain things. I look forward to seeing both this and Woody's done.

Woody's shouldn't take much longer, Joey. He is, after all, "just swapping seats out." Ha!

Well, I have the motor just where it needs to be, but I have found that tuning back and forth to town to get bolts is getting exhausting...
There is an 1/8" between the races and seat bar, 3/16" between skid plate and oil pan, 3/8" between tcase and everything else.

Just a quick update on the dash. Fitting everything is proving to be complicated but expected. 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lbs bag. Here is the layout of the center console, which this buggy didn't have before. I wanted the shifter to be closer to the steering wheel. To achieve this, I had to built a console to house the shifter, rearrange the t case shifters, and remount the computer. Turns out everything fits nice and tight, but comfortable.

What? Woody's shop does not have a complete line of every fastener made?
Build looks great -- should be a fun and very capable rig.
Right? Apparently the hundreds of pieces of cleaned and CAD plated OEM Toyota hardware I've had done over the years isn't good enough
(storage drawers for those ordered yesterday)

Do you still need a left and right hand 1.25 heim? I have them if so

Looking very good. We can compare clearance sometime Clarance. And discuss packing 10lbs of shit in a 5lb sack. Turns out I've traveled that road

Yeah, I do but I am pretty specific on manufacturers. I need a right hand FK bearing hiem and a left hand standard Teflon hiem from ruff stuff

May I ask why?

Well.. I dunno what they are but I'm not using anything that big

Because the original builder had FK Heims, and Jesse built the axles with the Heims he uses. It is a bit of a hassle, but it doesn't bother me.

Makes sense, I thought it was like some sort of personal thing.

So the exhaust is built, fit/finished by Cam. I need to cut in O2 Sensors and route the tip still, but all the detail work is complete. At Winter 4x4 Jamboree I will be picking up the flex plate and then I can finish bolt the drivetrain. I still need to find my starter (Right now it is missing, lol), and machine bore the unit bearings to 1.5 inches to fit 35 spline shafts.

Right? Unfortunately I forgot to take any decent pics of the Exhaust before I left for Alaska...
