2005 Bulletproof Taco: 1 Ton SAC

For the record: I have no idea what's going on.

 

Nice Mark! Glad to see it's coming along. Someday we may wheel again! Good news is it's not my truck that's broken this time and it's yours!!

 

Can confirm. Say words like pinion and deflection, it'll help us blend.

 

You and @Supra TT should come to Harlan April 22-25. I'll be there with a group of Toyotas and buggies and would lvoe to get up with yall

 

Would be doubtful at best, but it works with my current parenting time plan.

 

And yet another .005"

Backlash is at .006. I am thinking it looks good, run it like this, but tighten up the BL a touch to get the gears running a bit deeper yet.

 

Money

 

I found you

 

I havent exactly been hiding, click my sig link is in first post lol.

A birdie told me big things were in your future...

Pulled out .002" and here's the result:

Pinion Shim: .047"
Pinion Preload shim: .056"
NRGS: .095"
RGS: .023"
Pinion Preload: 10in*lbs
Backlash: .005"





I think this is it

 

Indeed they are. Hoping to order the rear shocks this week (possibly with @ChiTownTRD assistance

Once I have the leafs clean I will be reaching out






Also found this for you since I heard you liked the other one so much

 

Also here's what I have so far

Bamf relocation

With 3.25" axle tube
No spring perch
5" shackle
No shock bracket



Ordering shocks soon

 

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff

 

OK final bearings installed in lieu of set-up bearings. One adjustment to pinion shim after installing with new bearings, and this is what I'm running [literally right now, lol]

.006" BL

 

Looks perfect. Nice job

 

Thanks! Trying to figure out what tires to get now. My old MTR's are no longer streetable. And they raised the price yet again on new MTR's. Thinking maybe Procomp or Nitto this go around but don't know anyone with personal experience with either. But I could save myself a hell of alot of money.

 

@maxamillion2345 and @thegame have nitto 40's, they might be able to give some insight into them.

 

Joe z with the fj80 on 40s has nittos and likes them. I was going to buy those before i stumbled upon the swampers. I was also looking at the mt-2s, thats a neat looking tire. Pick one probibly cant go wrong with either.

 

Mine are only 35's but they are my third set of nittos and I am very impressed with them. They are surprisingly quiet for an m/t tire on the street and keep a bead well aired down.
I can't speak to 40's but I can say I've been very satisfied with their performance off road.

 

I like my 40" nittos a lot.
