Thanks for the contact info Bill. I called him and I'm going to head out there tuesday or wednesday and buy a 100 feet maybe a little more. I'm going to do some scetches this weekend to figure my needed footage and I'm guessing that I should 5 to 10% waste factor. I'm figuring my math on 20 foot lengths of tube.

so when you gonna bring it up and start actually bending tube? I'm gettting a dumpster next week or so and going to free up the concrete pad next to the garage. You could keep it there covered up once thats done.

later in the thread
"Agreed, also keeping my eye out for a set of 60's

Might just throw the toy axles under my FJ40 or sell them to offset the cost of going 60's"

Yeah I keep going back and forth on this. Its a common problem for the guys that wheel alot and have the serious gear setups. I want to run 60's but have to keep saving my pennies. I'm going to keep wheeling the toyota as is till I get another sweet side job then I will be getting all the parts I need and selling off the stock 8" toyota axle.

If you keep it light then the toy axles should be fine. but it might be a lot of work and more money to keep it light enough.

just build it and upgrade as needed. Look at this way, it may be a year till you get it built enough to even have to worry about going with bigger axles.

you both are right. I plan on continuing to wheel it as is cause at the moment it seems to work good and give a good challenge. I will up grade it in some way in the future once the funds are there. I'm kinda hoping I will come across a deal where some guy is upgrading to 60's and I can pickup a built front for cheap.
