Tomorrow we continue working on the 3.4L wiring harness in the 4Runner, as well as build the front link suspension on Al's Buggy. There's also an FJ40 to replace birf seals, a weber to tune when the gaskets arrice, a rear 44 to set up in a YJ, Laura's FJ62 rear bumper with Davin's Taco coming in on thursday to start the SAS with a D44.

We worked a half day on Good Friday, but spent hours deciding on the best setup given the current truck. The front axle will be shoved forward quite a bit. Unfotunately with the width and length of the motor in relation to the very narrow frame rails, we can not physically fit the double triangulated 4 link we had first envisioned. Because of motor mount and exhaust issues, a 3 link is also impossible. Chris and I looked at triangulated lowers and straight uppers, but it would cause a tremendous ammount of axle steer and be impossible to get the needed triangulation and the right arm lengths. So Krawltex will be building Al's CJ buggy with a front radius arm set up, panhard bar, and full hydro.
