i think its just rustomleum gloss orange. sprayed white down for a primer and it covers pretty good. then threw a coat of clear on it

There is a big NTC sticker on the window of the truck. is that a toyota club? link?

finally got the front end finished up



gears came out good with .006" backlash (little tight but within spec)
and the pattern came out nice.





everything is brandy new and ready to go




all the front needs is the cover to come in and some fluid.

Im gearing the rear now, but i really dont like the Yukon master install kit. almost seams like a total waste of money. none of the shims fit worth a damn and we switched to a solid collar so no need for the 2 crush collars it comes with.

From the factory, it comes with shims that go between the carrier bearing races and the housing but the master install comes with no such shims..... it looks like this kit has shims that will work between carrier and bearings, but idk if i wana waste my time and money getting a set of setup bearings.

gonna call up ECGS tomorrow, I guess they will send out a full factory shim kit and you just send back what you dont use....

nice man!

Got the rear end done. Was a pain in the ass with the shims yukon puts in thier kit. Def, not the correct shims but they worked for the pinion. I got lucky and was able to use the factory shims on the carrier.

Good beers = Good gears


Drive


Coast


The axles are 100 percent done with tires on them just waiting to get attached...
Once the axles are in we just need a front driveshaft and it should be ready to rock

Finished it up last night, ill have to snap a picture of it when i get home.
I have to call and get a front driveshaft ordered up for it, then time to hit the trails.
still needs a fresh coat of paint on the body, but someone else can do that.
