Bumpstop mount

 

I don't see how I could have... It was a simple pad slap only a wrench or two was utilized, I didn't even grunt

 

Looked at prices for a salvage yard 4runner case like mine. Twice the price of the FJ tcase on average.

 

Went to bed early.

I woke up to say, someone figure out dates for Moab so I can submit request for time off. Merger closed yesterday and they're starting to ramp up work shit. If one of these cunts around here becomes my new boss, I might get proper fucked. My boss might be on to bigger and better things without me.

 

Dates would be good. If I can get the tcase working and get the time off, I might be good to go as well.

 

IM properly fuckEd out of vacation till November by the sounds of it they’re not allowing any time off for more than 2 days till the end of the year

 

Tell them you'll be sick around then

 

Lol
Maybe I’ll get the heep crawl worthy and tow it down with the tundra time permitting. The jeeps actually pretty close to useable. Just the title issue being 4 different vehicles with a custom aluminum tub is confusing the dmv

 

Yeah, I wouldn't even know if I'd go since I wouldn't have an off road worthy vehicle by then

 

Wow. Says the guy that was gunhoe about it


Change of plans y’all. Party at empties. Bring guns. We’re going to have a tacoma world knob creek event.

 

I was totally gung-ho until COVID hit, and an opportunity to focus and upgrade a vehicle I'd deem to be "better" fit came across my lap. Otherwise the Prerunner would've been in the middle of a 4x4 swap already

 

If anyone around my parts does go, I'll just tag along.

I've got the vacation time stacked up

 

Rent a uhaul truck and beat the shit out of it at Moab. Easy

 

I might get stuck with a V6 someone swapped into it

 

Hrm. FJ case swap I put together myself using a used FJ tcase, probably high mileage. $300 or so for the tcase plus having to drive to pick it up and hope it's good. Add in the twin stick and then I need to mod the case for that too.

OR

RST rebuilt FJ case, with twin sticks already done for the 4runner, also comes with the Taco ADD front differential and the wiring harness to make the ADD work (besides vacuum lines). $2250 for that.

Both ways still require having the driveshafts lengthened which will add around $400 or more. I think one place listed driveshafts at like $436 a piece for modified ones. But I think that is new. I just need a new tubes on both and probably do u-joints since they are there anyhow.

 

Add vacuum lines? Say what? There’s a company that sells an ADD relay so you can use the electronic actuator

 

I wasn't sure on the vacuum lines, if it needed them. I go the ADD route and I have to modify the oil pan to clear the ADD motor. RST kit includes that too.

 

Man your going into this all out eh?


Why the hell don’t you live closer

 

If I get a chance (doubt it though) I’ll go see what I have diff wise and if I can figure out if the add fits an awd diff

 

Nothing committed yet. I'm still up in the air about doing the ADD. I just don't want to fuck with the front diff if I can avoid it. If you can find out on the ADD fitting the AWD diff, that would be awesome.

Either way, I will end up doing the FJ case. I'd rather do the Atlas but that's like $5k for the tcase alone. It'd be awesome tho. Difficult to do the crawl box addition with the 4runner since that lengthens the driveline and the fuel tank gets in the way and needs moved or made smaller.
