Delta's 2002 Tacoma 4WD Build and BS

I got the custom splice diamond rope for the same winch as yours. Was $140 for 125' of 5/16. And it had good reviews from pirate. Im cheap and dont see the need for a fancy hook or prolink so just going to use a puck to keep the hook from going into the fairlead or clip it to something. Will be more out of the way that way. Dont want anything else hanging off the front of mine.

Just waiting for a big box from low range which has my fairlead to spool it up.

EDIT: Whoops sorry thought you had the warn winch. But the custom splice line will still work.

 

Exactly what I was imagining!

I do have a Warn. XD9000i, same as you. We talked over in the winch thread last week or so. Have you gotten your rope on the winch yet?

 

Hey @Squeaky Penguin what were your hub to fender measurements in the front? Thanks

 

I'll try to grab them for you tomorrow.

 

Ahh to many silver trucks.. but no I haven't. Waiting on my aluminum Fairlead go show up. Should be one day this week.

 

Sitting somewhere between 22.75" and 22.5". Driveway is uneven, so it hard to tell.

 

Okay, thanks! I just measured again and it looks like I'm sitting at about 23.5 ish

 

Okay. Let me know when you get it all installed. I am curious how it goes

 

Went out and saw how much flex I could get, probably could have got more just ran out of ramp.

 

Do you still have your sway bar on?

 

That was taken off a long time ago haha

 

I havent had time to take my truck out since I got the kings on

 

Don't know if you've already answered this, but do you hit your reservoirs at all? Ride height? Full droop? Stuffed? Been considering getting reservoirs on my Icons.

 

They havent hit yet but i also havent done any serious offroading. I also have skinny tires with 3.5 bs that pushes it away.

 

I'd probably hit then being that I'm on 4" BS and 12.5" wide tires.

 

Awesome build. I picked up a 1st gen and have been thread stalking all of you 1st gen guys. I have dakars and 255/85 km2s waiting to go on my new old truck. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think it was here I read about relocating the rear axle to eliminate rear rubbing. Was that you? If so, what does that entail?

Edit - something like this, I assume?

 

Yeah, but I got mine here...

You just have to take off the u bolts, and drop the axle down then slide the plates in and select how far you want to move it back.

Mine rubbed pretty good




Now it looks good, not flexed all the way but I haven't had any issues.

 

Thanks for the info. I may install te dakars and test to see if I'll actually need ten first. Maybe there's differences truck to truck, or is this a pretty standard need for fitting 33s with these trucks?

 

I think that its a pretty known issue with larger tires. Maybe with some 265 tires it wouldn't touch.

 

You'll need it. I was rubbing with my 265s. Wasn't much, but you'll shred your fenders if you ever move up to 33s. That being said, if you don't ever plan to wheel, it's not necessary, but it's a good investment either way.
