So anywho, some of yall on here know what I have been upto when it comes to getting back into the crawling scene. For those who don't know let me introduce you to a legend I just picked up from the guys at Slee Offroad in Golden Colorado

Originally hailing from california, built by a top quality fabricator, started in 09, being brought back in 2015; the fishmouth fabrication rockwell hilux!!
Original build thread (thanks to YROC for posting it up) http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/toyota-truck-4runner/555900-project-tt-hilux.html

Rear - 4 linked with 1.25" heims and spacers necked down to 5/8" bolts. not sure on shock length yet, need to read into that.

Rams - PSC 3" bore with 1.5" shafts and 9" stroke, front and rear.
Pump - PSC High wolume and smaller pulley
