LOTSOFTOYS PANDA BUILD

Yea sometimes it works better in your head. Hopefully it all plays nice! Just have to flex it out good on the bump and see. At least you've got something.

 

Yeah I'll flex it all the way to the bump and check again

 

Jace, I have a quick question on your Softopper. In regards to your rear window, how does it attach to the tailgate? Velcro, snaps, or with the window bar? Or possibly a combination of all three methods. I received my Softopper for free and haven't been able to find a clear answer on how the canopy closes on our trucks at the tailgate. My topper didn't come with a window bar and I'm unsure if I need to order one or if the Velcro will close seal the window by itself.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

There are 3 sticky velcro strip on the top of the tail gate. There is also a bar that goes through the flap that connects into little plastic clips on each side. I'd imagine, it'd be fine without the bar. But velcro would be a good idea

 

Thanks, I'll look into it more. Like i said, I snagged it for free so beggars cant be choosy. Sorry to thread jack your build.

 

That's what this place is for! You're Not thread jacking haha

Now that I'm here, I have to ask Jace when's the SAS going down or are you staying ifs for now? You've got the Tundra and everything

 

No ur good man. Nice snag!

 

Staying ifs for now. Got my limit straps on a month or two ago on the front. She still gets me places I wanna go...
And yes tundra is nice, i love that truck. V8 power, huge cab and tows my sleds
Sas would be sweet, would thoroughly enjoy it, but i have far too many toys to do that at this point...

 

Yeah I am with you there. A sled would be the ultimate toy haha

Speaking of limit straps did you mention that I should shorten mine to be safe on the axles?

 

Yeah ur axles were binding a bit at full droop

 

Alright thanks man

 

Jace do you think a set of RCV axles would not bind? Just curious cause he went through the trouble of LT and now has to limit it. What the gain?

 

I thought RCV axles were bad because then your front diff would break before the axles do?

 

Slightly more up travel and droop with longer coilovers / stronger chromoly extended lowers and uppers than stock length LCA and upper

 

So how much travel do you have it strapped at?

 

It was at 11.7" when i measured last. That's what my notes say - it's advertised at 11.5" I think, so maybe I have to tighten the straps by 1/4"

 

That's still pretty good, about two over a properly strapped and bumped stock length setup.

 

Yeah I can understand why most people are critics of this kit that I'm running. Lots of money for what first appears to be minimal added performance with +2". I don't want fiberglass either

But can't argue with the design, the urethane bushings and chromoly boxed arms. Just better all around and I love how it rides. Not expecting it to perform as a full blown race kit but it's definitely more reliable and a whole hell of a lot stronger than stock

 

Yeah I'd strap it a other quaternary inch and make sure the axles stop binding
