geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Yes

 

Didn't he do your hoops though?

 

Nah the local fabricator to us did mine, quick and easy. Just come down this weekend and im sure he will be around to knock them out for you real quick, plus its mod day this weekend

 

Damn. I thought he did it. It would be fine if I wasn't on call. I have to be local preferably with a wifi connection. I can only afford to be within 1 hour of the house in case anything really hits the fan.

 

Yup, Relentless steel front and back on mine. Odd that it’s not listed on the website in the product listing. They should be on the shop by now so I’d just call.

You are welcome to join us as it is our local shop/mod day and all are welcome. If you want our local guy to do it let me know and I’ll PM you his phone number so you can make arrangements with him. His place is about ten minutes from my place where we do mod day.

 

I would if I could but I am on call this weekend. Trying to stay local. I have a good lead as of right now.

This is from the FJ listing on their website:



Strange that the Tacoma listing is missing that information:

 

My thought is that he would?

I was telling my buddy that this is, seemingly, the easiest thing and it's taken almost 2 months now.

Dude.... badass build!

 

Thanks man! she's alright I guess

 

Which gears you decide on?

 

@KaptainH

Idk the size though..

FYI I tried keyword searching his thread to no avail.

 

Whatchya lookin for?

Edit.. never posted pics in my build.

 

Ratio? 4.88's

Thought process below:

I will have to decide on what gear ratio I would like to have. I am almost 95% certain that I will be keeping 285's as my go-to but would not be opposed to jumping to 35's. In order to keep it a daily and in an overland style build, I am certain that I will not go bigger than 35's. The 3 sizes at most would be from are 285's, 255's or 315's. According to what I am seeing on the tire size calculator, the gear ratio chart is as followed:

285's: 4.56 are factory ratios, for increased power, minimal is 4.88+
255's: 4.56 and 4.88 are for increased power.
315's: 4.56 and 4.88 are within the factory ratios. For increased power, minimal is 5.13+

Because I am less than 5% certain that I would ever go up to 315's and would hate to have to swap gears again, I think that the safe bet would be to get 4.88 gears. Again, in keeping this a daily/overland rig, I don't see a need to go with anything bigger (315's) unless we are talking about a pissing contest. And if I were to make the jump, 4.88 gears are still within the factory ratios. I can safely say that 4.88's are a safe bet.

Let me know if you want more details haha I swear my thought pattern makes sense..to me..

 

I was stalking your build for something and then I saw that @KaptainH posted. I remembered you posted pics here but no specs so I linked him the pics..

 

Is this where I buy the Hockey Pucks and Blocks for my lift???

 

Welcome to Bro Lifts R Us, how may I not help you?

 

I would like some pressure treated rear blocks, and the best front spacer Hockey Pucks you can sell me for my $40,000 Tacoma. I would like nothing but the best for ride Brother.

 

I am surprised that shit hasn't been locked or reported yet..

My last post probably didn't help anything either:

Oh shoot I missed that last line, did see that post. I finally found a guy who will regear me locally- $1700 drop off to pickup out the door he quoted. I'm still between 4.56 and 4.88-- same armor/weight you have. I have 255/80r17 now but may one day want some 35"s. Biggest thing is it's a DD so I do want to keep MPG in mind.
