T4R is down! T4R Check In Here

Well that is definitely good to know. I was unaware of that and was told differently but the light has come through

Either way to do a gear down on out tcase a we have to go lefty or atlas. Shitty deal honestly

 

or a taco box. and that's only if you want to keep it ifs, and lefty, if you go sas then you can choose whatever side transfer and axle drop you want.

 

atlas 3 or 4 is big money, so is a taco box, inch worm lefy is only good if you want to run driver side drop axles, but why would you? get an adaptor for 200 bucks, get a gear case for like 100, get a dual adaptor for like 300, and get another stock gear case for 100

 

And I think you forgot to add in there some chromo shit to make it strong enough for tons. I rather not blow up a tcase on the trail ya know lol

 

If you're talking tons and an Atlas, just get some tube and build a buggy already. The idea of a 3rd gen on 40s is silly.

 

You're silly.

 

How is that silly? I see people SAS and go 37s all the time. So what's so bad about an extra 3 in lol

 

Clearly you have no experience with those extra 3 inches

 

I just think there's better platforms for a build of that scale, that's all. The 3rd gen 4Runner/1st gen Taco is such an awesome platform as it sits, it seems a shame to put a completely different build under the body.

A good friend of mine has a 1st gen Taco on 35s with 2 inches of lift and a truly sweet tub job - elocker rear and arb front, and that truck goes everywhere he wants it to. I've got a lot of respect for a sweet build like that - anybody can build big. Give me a nice tight minimal build over an overblown monster on tons any day.

 

Oh I can agree with you there bud. My build is not to just go big but also to reshape some stuff. The way I am doing my build is not just axle ad slam it in there there will be a lot of body work going into it to make sure it sits how I want it. We are shooting for a 60/40 travel ratio which mean there will be some tubbing and serious clearance work. I have just ways wanted a SAC'd truck with 40s I like the platform it has now and I will wheel the crap out of it but I like the bigger rigs too. It isn't all about trail capable it is making it look good and like it was meant to be that way

 

i get kevin's point, its always more fun to have a sleeper rig, a rig that looks nothing special but wheels just as good as a over built one.

 

New pads and rotors today. The new rotors are the only thing clean on my truck haha oooooo shiney... anyone wanna come over and help me bleed my brakes? .... gotta wait til tomorrow to do it since friends are busy. And the 75 year old guy next door won't answer his damn phone. "call me if you need anything!" riiiiiggghhhhttt lol

 

lol if you were like 5 minutes away, for chico you better have some hookers n blow

 

lol psh, way too easy.

 

On my way

 

"This one time, Eric drove up to Chico from the Bay Area to help me bleed my brakes, and, I don't know what happened, we finally finished at 8am the next day. My brakes still didn't get bled."

 

Those rotors look white. That's sick. Too bad they don't stay that way for long.

Also you can pick up a self bleeder kit at autozone for cheap

 

Yeah i know lol i took em out of the box and was like "holy shit these are blinding me" they are Bosch QuietCast. Figured I'd give em a shot. They're at least better than my old ones.

 

You need bigger jack stands.

 

Got me a set of 35x12.5x15 procomp MT with about 70% left for 400 today, now i just need to swap out my runner spindle and brakes with the tacoma ones i got, so i can mount these bad boys.
