Camerond05's build page. Slow. Boring

Yeah I decided the same thing! That would have to be a pretty narrow trail. Although a few months back if I had LT when I was wheeling I wouldn't have had my truck anymore went down the wrong trail and it was about the width of my truck, and a cliff on the other side with no turn around. There was a brand new 4Runner flipped and totaled down the cliff. Had to back out! Very scary

 

Depending upon what you use your truck for, might want to build a perimeter cage and get creative on stiffening the frame. I have seen too many long travel trucks that have an un-useable bed to where you can't put camping gear or fridges/Dryers in the back!

 

I definitely want a bed cage that leaves plenty of room for things, a bed rack with tent, fridge, extra parts etc. I thought about building somewhat of a cage inside my truck, not sure yet though. Would my truck have enough power? That'd be pretty heavy unless I went with aluminum

 

If you take a look at my build thread you can see my perimeter cage. The bed is pretty functional and I can still fit 4'x8' sheets of plywood/ drywall in it.

Also, might want to consider re-gearing if you haven't done it already.

 

Re-gearing is a definite. As I want to go with 35s. 4.88 is what I'm aiming towards.

I'll take a look!

 

Sweet. I just updated it from months of no activity!

 

To anyone on here currently, where should I shop around for some 8in king coilovers?

 

DSM or SDHQ

 

What size bumpstops will I need? I need them upfront as well correct?

 

check out super bumps from wheeler's offroad - it's what a lot of guys have with their front setup.

 

Thanks man. Once again, really appreciate the help

 

I wouldn't run super bumps in the rear if you are going to be doing go fast stuff.. Definitely air bumps, preferably 4" stroke. As for the front i've heard air bumps don't make a huge difference so you can get away with super bumps then.

 

Sweet! thanks

You think this + the 2.0 4" stroke kings would be good? Do i weld them on the frame?

 

http://store.sdhqoffroad.com/camburg20airbumpcan.aspx or these

 

lol my bad yeah super bumps only for front - 4" hydro / air bumps out back. I've had the front superbumps on the brain lately. Gotta order a set soon. Just been holding off. No sale on them yet for this weekend

 

Im probably going to get these so I can easily adjust the bumps

 

Yeah if you can fab up mounts that saves four hundred bucks or so. The bolt on mounts from TC are pretty pricey.

 

Now, what size coils should i get for the front.. I will have a pelfreybilt hybrid steel bumper on it..

 

spring rate? 650lb is what most guys get. I have 600lb but I only have a 4 banger so less weight plus my truck is lighter overall by a good amount than bigger double cabs.
