SMKYTXN's Build

It's kinda like the "flat tire" that lead to a full build huh?

I'm going to stick with my original plan and put a crawl box and FJ case in first, so the extra insurance money will go to that. SAS will come, just not yet.

 

Haha, nice. Looking forward to seeing the completion.

 

Are these builds ever really complete? Sure, we complete a stage, but that doesn't mean we're done.

Yup, that little bugger did a number on Smokey, but she'll be back.

I am picking up a set of spindles, TC cam tabs, and TC spindle gussets after work today from @Large. That should get me back rolling and able to tell if there are any other issues that need to be addressed. I checked the steering when I went over to the body shop and I'm pretty sure the steering rack is just fine. The somewhat busted wheel will get replaced at some point and I'll need a new spare tire.

@Boomtacoma01 is letting me borrow his welder, so I'll get started on everything here in the next week or two.

 

Good to hear you've got it handled Nathan

 

Make sure you've got the correct fucking oil housing adapter when you get the box - save yourself the major aggravation I had with mine.

 

I'll talk with Wyatt about that when I place the order. Thanks for taking one for the team!

 

Hell no they're never complete, that is the fun in it!

 

Thanks man! I'm gunna try making these lights soon!

 

Do you have any complaints about your OME setup when you were running it.

 

Nope, none at all. Well... The rear nitro chargers could have been a little longer. They kept the dakars from drooping to their full potential.

Other than that it's a great setup.

 

How does/DID the kings compare to OME.

 

Apples and oranges my friend..

 

Well, I can't compare the rear kings since I'm on 63's. The fronts do perform better, but I wouldn't say they're completely worth it. I'd say buy the full OME setup and wheel the piss out of it.

Then, after you've worn out the nitrochargers, upgrade to something else.

 

I've got Bilstiens with 887 coils right now. No spacer and it leans super hard. Thinking about going OME shocks with 887 coils and the trim packer.

 

Skip the 887's and go for the 886, as they're stiffer. My truck has always leaned, even with the spacer on top of the 886's.

If I were you; I would pick up the 886 coils, top plate spacer, and a set of Dakars. That would be a nice setup.

 

I have the OME setup, 886's with the taco lean spacer and quite like them. I regret cheaping out on the rear and doing an AAL instead of the dakars or expos. Do as Nathan says above!

 

FTFY

 

AAL FTW!
