The person that thinks they're stealing your water-jug is going to be stoked!

Jerry cans on the mudflaps, huh? What are you going to carry in them? Water?

Under normal braking, I'm sure it would work just fine, and on a four-wheeled vehicle, it would probably be OK in the event that one circuit failed - but with three axles, I can see that becoming a problem. I would just rather retain symmetrical braking by dividing axles.

Yeah, that's what I'd really like to know (without having to disassemble my brakelines) - what size fittings, banjos, etc. I'm made my own flexible brakelines with AN fittings and braided stainless hoses, but for big trucks like these, I'd just have them custom-made. It's really not any more...

Personally, I'm not too wild about the idea of asymmetrical braking.

tom, you're going to need to change you signature pretty soon...

Would like to know more about this too. Sounds interesting. I'm leaning towards a hydro-max conversion.

trans OD + OEM gears + bigger tires = 100mph deuce

Yes, there are two different companies making aftermarket gearsets in three different ratios, if I remember right. Oueverson and someone else...

Makes sense they would say that because of the tremendous liability involved, but look into this for yourself and you'll find a surprising lack of evidence to support the common misconception that full hydro steering is illegal.

Where did you get those braided stainless hoses?

Geez mudguppy, that's a really good point. I totally over-looked the fact that the two axles would inevitably get out-of-balance if it was a purely hydraulic system. duh.

Whoa, how did that happen? I'm only using the springer seat linkage (custom springs/shocks), and I'm going to mount the 4-point harnesses to the seats, and then to the cab/rollcage, so they can float with the seats, but will be anchored to the cabb/rollcage.

Saying that it's not illegal in most states. Would post links for you, but I'd have to search.

Nope. This has been discussed at length in several threads recently...

That's awesome! If I end up keeping the stock transmission, I'm definitely going to get a set of these OD gears.

yup-yup. That's what I'm doing, except I'm using an airshocks instead of airbags. Super EASY modification.

No, talking about the shackle mounts.

Yeah I would have bet money they're forged, but figured it couldn't hurt to double-check. Tacoma only weighs 4000lbs, but I'd also like to be able to use these as recovery points. Would be welding these to 2x2x.120-wall square tubing and 1.5x.120-wall round tubing (part of an extensive...

I have not driven a truck with a springer seat in it yet, only taken two of them apart. So I can tell you how they work, but not how well...
