El Toro, let me introduce you


Rear spring perches were cut off and the diff was rotated for better driveline angles. Diff shock mounts were removed, boxed and raised up out of the way. Upper mounts were redone and raised to offset the lowers and strengthen. Rear right shock relocated to rear of diff to avoid oncoming hits.....again.....

Really nice job there those welds are super nice! I was wondering what kind of a formula did you use to set the new angle of the diff and did remounting your rear shocks add any overall height?

That took me a second to get. 

Horns stay for sure!

Now, crown on top of horns?  DEFINITELY!

Got the latest Frontrunner Rack today. It's only about 1.5 inches lower, but it makes a world of difference.

I'm glad they retained it's ability to carry a table undeneathe it.
   They are still toying with the idea of lowering it further and extending the front.    
   I also picked up their 13 gallon water tank that fits perfectly behind the rear seats.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/20/42e6c54623d292c639b8207b644cc0d7.jpg

Here it is with the fridge...it's a snug fit but it works well.

You all should consider one of these tanks. They are perfect! The added weight is right over the diff too.
   Give Steve at frontrunner a call.

I do like that water tank.

That is a pretty spiffy rack Toro, but I would imagine it can get pretty expensive when you start adding all of the accessories/clamps/attachments? That water tank is pretty cool, too. Is there any way to pressurize it?

    If your pressurizing a tank, it'd be best to do it on a tank that's mounted high and assisted by gravity. This tank, when full, weighs over 100lbs and will be in the rig. The best way to get pressure out of something like this is to run a pump on the outlet. The tank comes with a 1/2 I.D. ball valve so it will flow like a mo-fo.
   We have 3 kids and do an ass load of camping. Our current 5 gallon drinking water setup doesn't cut it anymore and needed a serious upgrade. With all the hiking, camelbacks and cooking pasta between all of us, this should hold us for 4-5 days....
....shoot, I might even be able to wash my hands from time to time.
