Delta's 2002 Tacoma 4WD Build and BS

Congrats!

 

Congrats! What sort of winch you getting?

 

I was wondering if I was going to have to be the first to ask that ^

 

Haha I remember Troy was talking about a TJM Stealth a while back on my built thread, but times change and maybe he decided on something different.

 

Smitty x20 10k with synthetic line. Gonna replace the grease when I get it.

 

Nice! I've read some good reviews on it. You going to change out the fairlead and hook or nah? Maybe look at Factor55?

 

I wanted to get a factor 55 becauae it looks better and it's safer. But I didn't release they were $150 haha. I'll eventually order one.

 

Haha yea. Factor 55 is pricey, but their products are some of the best. I'm definitely interested in a Flatlink E and 1.0 Hawse Fairlead.

 

The Smitty already come with a Fairlead similar to that one. What's the difference between flat link and prolink? Flat just gets closer to the bumper?

 

Flatlink tries to stay flush to the bumper and look better, IMO. Prolink is like another recover point of the bumper. Also there's a difference between the Flatlink and the Flatlink E. The normal Flatlink will only accept a d-ring like a normal recovery point on your bumper, while the Flatlink E can accept a d-ring in a wider variety of ways. Just don't side load a d-ring. They're not designed for that.

 

Let me know how you like it and would love to see a write up on the grease replacement. That's the model I'm looking at as well.

 

Perfect, now I can text Troy whenever I get stuck

 

Don't know when or how often I'll use it but I'll do a write-up on the grease replacement.

Just dont get stuck while youre in Cali, I ain't driving all the way out there!

 

What's wrong with Cali! Maybe you should...its where all the fun happens!

 

If anyone get's stuck in NorCal, let me know. My 'recovery vehicle' could help ya

 

Got my winch in....



And some oem LBJ because mine have been spitting greese and I don't want the wheel to fall off.



And a warn winch power isolator




Now I just need to get a new battery because I hate the one I have now.

 

Nice. If this works out for you and you have no issue, then I'll have to look at the same winch. How bad were your LBJs spitting grease? Just want to know for future reference.

 

They are looking pretty nasty.

 

Mine have been like that for a year

 

Haha well mine have been like this for quite some time also.. But I really don't want to lose a tire so I want some insurance haha
