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

Me too....

 

Ehhh not sure i would with you... you know why

Do it! As long as you are pretty much straight and go easy on the throttle you'll be fine. But also make sure you know how to change out tie rods on the trail...

 

You have A-Trac, same thing

 

Yes and no.. A-Trac is basically a limited slip for the front end which with our weak IFS is probably enough haha

 

That's what I've gathered researching IFS & front lockers - keep the wheels straight....

Fortunately I still have a bunch of other stuff to do to the truck before I get to air lockers so that will be a while away but the video was a great illustration how a front locker can really get you out of stuff. Nicely done!

 

I know what it is, that's why I laughed haha

 

I turn it off the second I feel that I don't need it. Even just putting it in reverse and turning the wheel a bit can bend your tie rod, so you have to be really careful..

Ohh haha oops.

 

A locker would still help him

 

It would but I'd carry a bunch of extra tie rods on the trail

 

Tie rods and axles either way

 

I agree

 

@northwesttaco @Sacrifice Hahah extra axles and tierods, got it

Reorganized the list. As of right now im going to run a 33" spare tire on the swing out instead of ordering a new swing out for a few reasons.. 35" spare covers the tail light too much and kinda thinking about a new rear bumper.

My current one doesn't stick out on the sides enough for my liking, not happy with the layout of the swing out for my purposes, and its heavy as fuck.

If I replace it it'll be full custom design that I have in my head and loose a bunch of weight/retain strength.
Also going to looking to plating/reinforcing the frame from the cab back.

 

I'm looking at plating the Frame as well after seeing my much my bed flexed in that video. Maybe get a deal if we buy at the same time?

 

Do I smell a relentless bumper in the works?

 

Might! I was looking at the JTA metalworks. Like $120 for the set

 

No its going to be somewhat custom. The bumper itself will be a lot like the hybrid CBI rear bumper for 3rd gen 4 runners. But add bedside protection and a custom swing out

 

Guy in here sells them for $110 I believe shipped

 

$120 was with the dimble cut outs to get to the frame holes for high clearance bumpers. Unless we are talking about different fabricators
