Reds rc beater rebuild

That’s the front offroad gas tank strap with studs the rear is 77602-04020, the front on this truck is broken gonna try and get it swapped one evening.

 

I think it was a touch broken lol!

All fixed up idk what brand fuel tank skid that is looks like sos but not sure? Also have I mentioned that makita impact is the best tool investment ever.

 

What was broken about it? I oughta take a pick of mine where the drive shaft beat it up over a yr ago.

 

Look close by we’re that stud is on the left it’s broke in two the only thing holding it was that rubber isolator, it was touching the driveshaft is how I noticed it. Drove it 3 hours with the rear strap hanging on lol.

 

Oh damn I didn't even notice it yeah that's not good

 

Yea I thought when I got it that skid/gas tank looked like it was hanging low wasn’t until I picked up and realized I could push it up and that rubber isolator thing was rubbing the driveshaft lol. Did they put the same size gas tanks on the rc cause I swear this holds as much as my dclb?

 

I honestly hadn't noticed the tank strap. I replaced those with off road straps probably about 6 years ago in order to mount that skid plate. I don't remember what brand it is. Keep it up. I'm enjoying the progress.

 

Yea I ordered the replacement off the vin then I remembered shit it’s got that skid plate so had to order off road straps, but it wasn’t a big deal they swapped for the right one. Thanks man it’s fun I enjoy driving it more than my double cab, love the 4cyl 5speed. Hey found some dog tags in it want me to mail them to you?

 

That would be great if you could mail the dog tags. Michael Auffinger 1819 Ward Drive, Ste 101, Murfreesboro TN 37129. Thanks!

 

Can do no problem prolly go usps tomorrow.

 

Well ordered some redline mt90 gear oil for the trans and some 75w90 for diffs and tcase.

 

@Son of Liberty @Cred92 Recommend bleeping the address in your comments . Watching the thread and enjoying the progress, when's the bumper showing up?

 

I appreciate the suggestion. It's a business address that is advertised everywhere, but typically I would agree.

 

Ah sorry! How's the truck search going?

 

It's all good. I put a deposit down on a 2021 TRD Off Road a few weeks ago. I wanted to stay with a manual so they ordered one from the factory. It's taking forever to arrive. Supposedly is it now "on the truck" and will arrive "any day now".

 

Doesn't sound too bad, but I bet it feels like forever for you

 

Idk gotta figure out when @ovrlndkull is ready to? And find a fastenal and PayPal him lol.

Hey got those dog tags sent out this afternoon should be there Monday. Wanna see some pics of that new truck when it comes in! What color did you get?

 

I appreciate it, and yes, I will post pics when it comes in. I got it in black to match the Jeep and the camper. I'm already looking at mods... I'm going to build this one into a sweet camping rig.

 

I really like my dobinson springs and their reservoir shocks that I put on the back of my other truck, and I like my king front shocks too... lol I can help you spend some money on trucks for sure

 

Ha! Right on. I'm probably going to go Old Man Emu again. I really liked it on that RC 2nd Gen and never had a problem with it. I liked the feel of it better than stock.
