The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

It looks like it will fit with a little modding of the adjustment bracket. Write-up

 

Feels the same. But it grabs MUCH more. I found Reving it more helps take offs. In 4lo is awesome though. But I also have solid motor and tranny mounts so not sure how much that changes it.

Very happy with it though.

Yep sure did.

Might as well do a full damage report.

Used the living PISS out of my armor. Thank god for the diff skid(thanks Jerry) and front skid.

Sliders also very abused and bumpers took a few hits.

Big stuff is yes cv seal went in backwards so it leaked after leg 1. Fixed early next morning.

Then blew a sidewall in lander so had to swap out a tire


Then right before The Wall in Poughkeepsie glutch...lost the driver side LBJ bolts. Been driving on 3 since Tuesday as one that sheared off was an out bolt.

All in all...epic trip.

But there was literally only one day I didn't have to take a wrench to the truck during the whole trip ha

Should with a bit of modding.

 

Whats the big wound Ben was talking about?

 

Dude I loved not having to worry about it. Smashed it over everything haha and it was Christina lake.

 

ahhh LBJ... Im ordering up some extra bolts haha

 

Yes ha

Thank god mike had some and cody.

And Ben of all people had vice grips so I could back out the inner front bolt. Still only 3 bolts in it. Will have to wait till Xmas.

Good thing I have 5 new 35s waiting to go on

 

I see you have 2 Lightforce 240s... what's your opinion about em?
Like em, wish you would've bought something different based on what you've seen in person/the forums?

I just pulled the trigger on some Rigid D2s & am still thinking of throwing some LF 240s up on my new Elite bumper when it comes in a couple of months..

 

I love them. Totally worth it.

the D2s are a great light. but still more of a flood. the LF240s project a really long ways due to the large housings. go a long ass freaking ways.

 

Awesome. I just realized too that I have a LF 240 hand held spotlight I used for coyotes this past winter/spring, so that pretty much sealed the deal on my debate on getting em or not.

 

Now that's a good idea.

 

i even found a pic of the lights!




they really are just perfect for the tent. Not stupid bright so you can't look at them. But definitely bright enough to fill the full tent with comfy light.

I loved having them this past trip. Very handy.

 

Okay..time for me to whore out my truck..

This is Leg 1 of 3 on the large meet i held in Wy/Mt/Co. was a BLAST!

Trails run for leg 1 are Morrison Jeep Trail, Sawtooth Lake, Darby/Lulu Pass and Goose Lake Jeep trail.

 

Gadamn! Those are some pictures Monte!! Looks like a BLAST

 

Lots more to come. It was truly a true Epic though of a trip. So fun.

 

Did you get pics of the rigs? I'm curious as to what people were running for these trails..... plus I just like looking at other peoples Toyotas

 

Plenty of pics
