northwesttaco's SOLD LT Build w/ 35's and BS

What're friends for??

 

I've peered pressure you plenty in the past, just returning the favor

 

Haha if it wasn't for all the LT talk between us I probably wouldn't have got that kit yesterday

 

Wait did you announce it yet?? I haven't seen it in your build...

Edit: just kidding yes you did lol

 

Haha yeah I posted a pic of the kit yesterday. And put LT in my build title

 

Yeah just found it lol. I saw the LT in the title but didn't know if you put that just to see who would notice

 

Haha yeah man pretty stoked, like I said, all I gotta do now is buy extended axles. Spoke to mademan925 and he said that those axles are a PAIN to switch out. Not looking forward to it but it'll be worth it once it's done

 

@dakotasyota and I did his in about 4-5 hours I think? First one took 3 hours and the second took soooo much shorter. Once you figure out how to get it apart (bang the shit out of it, as hard as you possibly can) then its easy. We used this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bTJRzrv4iA

 

Nice. Yeah that's the video I watched that I'm planning to go off of

 

Awesome. Going to be so sick!

 

9 months

 

Dang, 3100 in 3rd gear over the pass? I usually run 4th at about 2600-2800 maintaining 65-70.

 

I won't be LT for 8-9 months lol

 

I weigh a ton more than you.. Plus have 33's

 

Meh, I did that a few weekends ago with 32s, ARB bumper w/winch and sliders and rear road armor bumper(don't bash). Me and the ole lady in the truck and my Shasta on the back but below cab height. You might have another couple hundred pounds. Do you have skids? A ton is 2000lbs BTW. I used to run a scale so weight comes second nature to me. My truck weighs 4880 on the nose with no occupancy and sans RTT.

 

Dont think he meant a literal ton

 

I know. It just cracks me up when people say "a ton of this" or "a ton of that" when a ton is actually A LOT.

 

well when the subject is weight...

 

Full steel skids, 1/4" rear steel bumper that weighs at least 150lbs alone, then add tire swing out, full size spare, gas, high lift. Last time I went over the pass I had my canopy and drawers in the back, 175lb RTT up top too. 3/4 length bed drawers made from 3/4" plywood and I always kept tools/recovery gear in them. Plus 33's make a big impact on power. Then add in what ever gear I take with me

I thought you were on 265's still?

No I did not mean literal ton lol

 

dont forget sliders, people, beer and gas!
