Florida B.S. Thread

Ordered my lift today guys! Ended up increasing my budget and going with a OME BP-51 Kit. Super stoked to get these on the truck, gonna have to take one of you guys up the help me install offer, used up some of my install budget to get a better lift. OOPS haha

 

Morning guys, just got into the 2017 from my previous 08 and noticed the CC is not working. This is due to the clutch pedal needs to be adjusted and how it makes contact to the sensor.

I know I need to do a clutch adjustment but can not get the lock nut on the Clutch sensor to budge to adjust the clutch pedal height. Any pointers out there? The other adjustment point is easy but need to get the height adjusted so that CC will work as it should.

 

Not too shabby. Rear axle is almost ready. Just need to weld the spring perches on and the axle is done. Need to weld up the body mounts and the rear half is done.

Not a video lol

 

I got me a little something to test out and play with until I get around to getting my Benelli M3 and my M4. Gonna put it on my Ruger Mk.II Gov Comp Model pistol and get rid of the huge red dot sight it has now then see how it works. Just waiting on the Weaver Dovetail adapter.

Although it's hard to see in the picture I tried to take of the dot, it's a 7.5 MOA triangle and it looks pretty bright in the house...almost too bright at the full bright setting, so I'm hopeful it'll be clear and visible in full sunlight, which is the problem I have with the sight on the pistol now; it only has a 1 MOA dot and it's impossible to see in full sunlight.




The dot looks a lot more crisp and defined than it does in the picture. If it works out well, this one will go on my shotgun and I'll get the 3 MOA round dots for the Mk. II and the M4.




This comforted me because while I know Leupold has always produced a quality product, that bity little thing was pretty damn pricy.

 

Went out to Citrus today with the kids. Sloppy as hell out there and the washout on 14 is worse than the corner on 19 has ever been right now. Got denied on 4 attempts on 14. Extremely rutted out and off-camber to the right going up and out and switches abruptly to an aggressive left lean the rest of the way. Currently sitting on 1.5” lift and 32’s on the 4Runner and skid plate was dragging the center bump keeping the front wheels from grabbing. Right wall pushed my mirror in trying to go up. No traction at all with how wet it was. 11 was pretty nasty but doable with a little line picking and the 2nd washout on 14 is getting pretty twisty but is still hardpack and giving lots of traction. 19 wasn’t difficult at all other than some tight bypasses around the deep holes. The corner on 19 has been driven so much that it’s almost hands free going up. Not as rutted out as it was at the annual meet. Came across a Buick Enclave on 19 traveling south, of that says anything.

Watched a new ZR2 fail multiple times on 14 and a Jeep slid in to the washout sideways trying to bypass on the right.

 

Sounds awesome. Wish I could have gone, but I still have that axle seal to fixUnfortunately, with the jeep sliding in trying to take the bypass, they'll probably grade that crap out soon. Did the jeep roll?

 

No roll. His ass end slid in and he just rode it down. The right side was super slick. I tried going up that side and my front end started sliding so I went left.

Could anyone reccomend a differential shop in the NW florida area? Looking to regear.

 

East Coast Gear Supply is the best place to get it done

 

Can't beat the 5 year warranty either. Only those lunatics putting 1 ton axles under their trucks have to take their axle somewhere or do it themselves...***cough*** @Timbo's Customs @allenfab ***cough*** (and yes that's speaking, haha. Hell, I'd even settle for a solid front axle.)

 

Here's some before and after (with a couple of configs) of my Mk.II with the old red dot sight and the new Delta Point.






I'm liking the forward configuration the best ATM. It the delta seems more stable in my shaky hand that it does on the rear position. Those are the only two positions it will mount in currently; I had to modify my rail because the cross pin was too big to fit in the slots. Fortunately, the rail is just aluminum so it was a quick mod with a small file. I already like it more than the red dot sight.

Speaking of, if anyone is interested in the red dot sight, I'm willing to let it go for a halfway reasonable offer. It's a Burris Speed Dot with a 3 MOA red dot. No magnification. I think it's 35mm in diameter, IIRC. It also has a little removable sun shade.

 

Is that the 3rz?!

 

Haha. I had 4wheel parts in Orlando do my front and I decided to do the rear. I’ve done 3 sets of gears and they aren’t that bad. It’s more or less intimidating at first because how much it cost to replace something if you don’t setup correctly.

 

all 2.7l of glory! haha, i had it rebuilt back in october of last year and the other day was the first time I was able to fire it up. Only as an LCE conversion header on it right now lol, but the fuel system needs to be gone through again, sounds terrible after it fires up since the injectors are leaking, won't idle properly.

 

Especially if you get a set of setup bearings so you can figure out your shims before you commit to pressing on the real bearing. You have a 14 bolt though, don't you? That's what I loved about those, no carrier shims, you just adjust it side to side like the old Toyota rears. I imagine setting up the pinion bearings are a little trickier, but at least the pinion housing comes out so you can do it on a bench.

 

Nice! love those engines

 

I have a 06 f250 sterling 10.5. I’ve done a 14 bolt and it was stupid easy. I’ve done a kingpin 60 also

 

Wanna do some 4.56’s on a 4Runner at some point?
