1st Gen on 37's, Long Travel. Completion Date: TBD

What pulley / controller / fuel system are you going to run with it?

 

urd 7th, 2.2 pulley. i dont need anything crazy.

 

Awesome! I'm leaning towards the 7th and keeping the stock pulley - another guy here got a wideband controller to tune at elevations higher than sea level:

This is another guy with a setup like yours:

i read through speedy's build before starting this project. the stock pulley did just fine for the few days/weeks it was installed.
the boost seems to come on a few hundred rpm lower with the new pulley, about 2100 now where as the stock pulley didnt seem to get going till about 2300/2400. this is just feel could be dead wrong on a dyno.
i dont think ill need to tune it at all. no pinging problems even without the 7th injector.

 

Well there’s been a whole lot of nothing on the progress front, but the girl has some new shoes, so I guess that’s something...

 

Fenders clearances for tires. More will come off once I have time to confirm clearance at bump

 

Damn... those are 37s?? Look kind of small. But looks good man. Makes me wish I went 37s...

 

well their labeled a 37. measure out to 36 off the truck
im just happy that they fit the wheel well nicely, the old ones looked off; im sure the wheels werent helping too

 

oof she's clean

 

well thanks man! its definitely getting there

 

So this... no idea how to assemble the hubs and need to call and confirm a few things but hoping to complete the instal before September

 

Kick ass! 4x4 right!?

This is a pretty good walk through and works for 2x4 or 4x4 - just make sure they machined the hubs down to fit in the rotors first!





I just installed mine last week. There's a bolt that's hard to get to with a regular wrench in the spindle to the LCA, but I just ground down a wrench to fit. I'm thinking of modifying a socket to work so I have more control.



Are you building shock hoops for 10" coilovers and (maybe) bypasses?

 

nope, 4x2. the cost of a built differential, transfer case, transmission, etc is approx $8k.
doubt ill ever do the conversion, but time will tell

 

I may have an extra trans and diff

Interested to see what you end up doing for mounting shocks & co's!

 

nows not the time, as much as i want 4x4 i have a feeling ill just shred the gears constantly

for now shocks will be the 8s i have. ill get some 10s ordered within a week or two

 

Gotchya. Right on. I've got 10's, but put 8's for now too until I decide what to do for hoops and how much I would save doing all the fab stuff vs. having solo do the cam lockouts, double shears, hoops, limit straps, and bumps stop mounts. I just started welding for the first time since learning how back in high school and it might take me awhile to get to where I feel comfortable working on all that stuff. Congrats man. Your truck is awesome!

 

from talking to them, the 8s bump the same but lose a few inches of droop. since i dont want to cut the inner fenders at the moment, ill see what is does droop to inner fender and make some decisions from there.
whats nice is that the centerline of the hub is above the centerline of the uniball so the wheel moves back slightly at droop and doesnt make the truck ride like crap. in retrospect i couldve got the 4x4 kit just in case, but im not that interested in crawling so i think this was the better way to go for what i want when im all finished

 

Hell yea man!!! Truck is gonna be a beast. We should all get together once all our trucks are done.

 

i sure hope it works as good as i think it will. if all goes to plan, it should be dirt ready before the new year, not finished but wont disintegrate itself either.
my buddy wants to do barstow as a shakedown if others are down, once the weather cools off

 

Yeah it's all about what you want. If I tried to make my truck what everyone else wanted I'd never actually enjoy it. Still interested to see what you come up with fab - wise - I'll be planning it out for my truck based on what I see you and a couple other people have done! What uniball were you referring to in egard to the hub?
