Haven't been working on it much lately but I got the brakes all working and adapted the Toy park brake to the Kick lever and it seems to work well.
I picked up a twin stick setup for my Toy case and my new tires showed up too >:D Had to test fit the new boots and see where to trim.

I've changed from my original motor swap plan due to incompleteness of the donor truck so I'm pulling the motor and rebuilding it with some performance upgrades and swapping in my trusty old 3spd auto with 4.24 gears in the Kick case and stock 2.28 in the Toy case. I'll update when I get some work done on the motor.

Well it's been a long time since I updated this thread. Not much happened for quite awhile due to waiting for parts and life stuff keeping me out of the garage. I have managed to make some headway again and now I have set myself a deadline so time to get busy.
I decided to fully retire my yellow truck after exploding the R&P then rolling it(it was a rough day lol). I pulled the tranny for my new truck and hooked the Kicker2 to it.

The motor was completely rebuilt and a performance grind was done to the camshaft by Colt Cams.  I tossed it all together and gave it a shot of paint from my leftover paint collection.
Then it was all bolted together and set back in the truck.

Next was the t-case crossmember, I picked up a new Trailgear dual Toyota case crossmember for $60 and relief cut it and flattened it out to work for my application. I quickly made up a couple angle brackets and welded them to the frame for something to bolt the x-member to. Then bolted everything up. Almost a flat belly but I think with a little more massaging of the floor I can get it flat, so I may have to revamp the x-member a little yet. Looks like the twin stick on the Toy case will come through the floor in the forward end of the stock t-case shifter hole and the Kicker2 shifter will come up beside the stock shifter.

I also got my modified Birfs back from a local guy that beefs them up so I put my front axle completely together. Just waiting for my GM alt bracket from Low Range and a new rad then the front clip can go back together. After that I will start on bumpers and cage.

Looks good.   Are you going to add some additional bracing to your angle iron mounts?

I don't think I'll need to as the forces against the x-member are upward and it is against the bottom of the frame rails

Looks good. I like the wishbone links for the front, strong and simple. How is the shorter pan hard bar working out?

I think the panhard will be ok but I won't know for sure until I actually get to wheel it
