dezert mobbin, Budget Ballin Build!

thanks man!

Installed hood pins (daystar poly rubber ones) to eliminate all the movement my hood had before.
Also got tired of my lights getting jammed back into my grill everytime i tapped anything with my front bumper. The bumper is tucked to close to the grill so the lights sit about 3/4" infront of the main tube. Solved that problem and i can finally play Trophy Truck now




It looks ok imo but it serves more of a function than looks.
Might add a tube on each side from the top tube down to the main tube for extra support, and back through the grill into my engine cage, but i need to relocate my radiator somewhere first.

 

No nerfing me glamis now!!! Lol looks good yo!!!!

 

Sub'd

 

Haha nahh you will have 4wd and rear Lt on me. I should be more worried about u!

 

Hey! soo fully convinced to go to glamis right?!

 

Im not fully convinced yet I really dont want to get stuck I have never done soft sand before

 

U will be fine. Lil learning curve but there will b a bunch of 4x's that will give ya a tug. Ur truck that is

 

Ya you'll be fine! Worst comes to worst, u get stuck and pulled out. Easy enough.

 

nerfing is not a crime

soft sand is nothing for our tacomas, just air down to around 10 pounds and you will be amazed how well they do.

 

Not all of us have beadlocks

 

wait.. how low do you usually air down to?

 

I only go to like 18lbs and I'm fine

 

oh... im usually at 8-10 haha.

 

Ya I got smaller tires and steelies. They are horrible for airing down with. They bend easy as hell and then leak air. End up hammering them back to hold air everyonce in awhile definitely on the hunt for some methods soon

 

ahh ok. well my suggestion is try looking for a 12.5 wide tires. it really does help and you hardly every roll over the sidewall with them. and by the way, methods are steel. ive already bent one too.

 

Ya I need to get some 33/12.5 but I just got a huge hookup on tires now that are race take offs with over 95% tread. Downside is they are 32/11.5/r16 Mickey Thomson mud terrain race cuts. $85 a tire though so I plan on mounting them as my spares and throwing them on when I hit the sand. And as far as the methods go, don't they make aluminum rims? If I have to buy methods that are steel I'm sure they will still be 10x stronger than the thin cheap ones I have now

 

i got 33x12.5s and in the sand i go down to like 14.

im building a back bumper for my truck starting today caleb!

 

Yeah 18psi is gonna be my number for that weekend:/ but ill just haul ass everywhere. And better send me pics! I'd come help but we're moving today and tomorrow. And I've got work. So I'm pretty screwed for free time

 

i am working on it tonight and tomorrow night then starting again on tuesday, maybe next week if you have some time?
its being worked on at power and mckellips

 

Yeah shit, that's right down the street.
