riz_atx's 16 Locked, Geared, and Tuned TRD 4x4 "Big Perm 3.0" Build/Biking/BS Thread

I didnt make it very far but I did get the back seats reinstalled! #BackSeatRestorationMod

Gonna call Discount Tire in the morning and get them to order the new tires. Gonna also call Soco Muffler and make an appointment to get the exhaust reroute hopefully this week!

 

What tires did you decide on?

 

size is 285/75/17. Not too many choices in that size. Im gonna stick with the ko2 in load range e.

 

Ohhh what is this brake line extension thing you have?

Nice! If you were closer I would offer to sell you some 295/70/17 General Grabbers in E lol.

 

If you check out this insta pic, you can see it:

its the top right pic. @Texoma fabbed those up for me. The last HF trip, the truck came down on some big rocks and broke a tab on the xfer case skid, it must have also bent one of those extension brackets. Need to bend it back to keep it from rubbing the leafs.

 

Ah I see, so an extension for the e brake line.

Smart, another thing I should look at and see if I need to do the same lol.

 

The one on the passenger side is now shaped like an S LOL. Im gonna pull it off the truck later today and fix it with a hammer and hopefully it keeps it from rubbing the leaf.

 

I need a set of those mounts for my Ebrake cables. Is @Texoma making any more?

 

MPG was 21.8 on the way in to work this morning, which is pretty average for that trip. So, if this is still learning and in a performance mode, I hope to see a higher climb in a week or two.

 

If we keep tagging @Texoma, i think he will magically appear!

Lets see what happens over time. I havent read much about the negative learning coming back from folks who have had this applied. 21.8 would be freaking crazy good for my truck but it weighs as much as a bus full of elephants. lol

 

Lol, I am still using the same stock mounts and everything with no extension and they seem to be good. I did have to add some spacers to my main brake line bracket to give it some more slack.

 

Well the tires are ordered and will be at my local Discount Tire today! They didnt have any appt's today so tomorrow @ 12:30, BP finally gets some big boy tires!!!

 

And, now the exhaust reroute is planned for Wednesday @ 830 am at Soco Muffler! Thanks @ChadsPride for the recommendation. Ill be down there Wednesday so if you want to get lunch that day, i should be available

 

Rockin! They are real nice people and they are going to LOVE your Truck!

I'm down for a mini meet, absolutely!

 

Im missing some La Flor like a mofo! Up for some tacos?

 

Same here!!! Without a doubt!

 

YAAAAAS! Ill be there @ 830AM to drop the truck and will be roaming around S Austin until its done

 

Sweetness! Holler whenever

 

I made the ebrake extensions from aluminum bar stock. Cut n drill.
