Ugly Gold 4 door Hoor SAS-LS

I just slapped a 3rd gen on there. It is a little big but covers the bed until I mount tank under.

 

Weather finally chilled out and I actually got something done. Seems very minor but this not being done has caused me a lot of headache.

 

@02hilux Im trying to get my damn steering centered still because I forgot to mark my gear when I rebuilt it like an idiot. So, I had my kid steering it back and forth to see how bad it was favoring one side and I noticed the axle/truck shifts a lot as it shifts from one side to the other. My link lock nuts are still not locked down but otherwise, all is how it will be. What's the deal with that?

 

What's your caster like? I have a lot of caster in my truck, but I'm IFS. When I turn the wheel one way or the other is squats on the side that's the outside of the turn.

 

idk. I haven’t got an alignment yet cause I have been dealing w a bunch of stupid shit like this. It seems the tires are bowed out a bit right now.

Chinese craftsmenship just ain’t what it used to be.

 

New turbo. Way bigger exhaust side. Won’t go on till truck is 100%. Don’t need anymore problems.

 

Now I can run the exhaust to back. Been putting that off for months.

 

Twins!


I threw up after doing the exhaust all day yesterday. Either from the fumes or the ugly ass welds, I dunno haha

 

Well, shit. That's where you got it wrong. There will ALWAYS be problem no matter what.

 

True! currently motor is good to go. Wrapping up suspension shit when I get my upper link back and then should be able to drive farther than around the block.

 

After eight hours of fucking with it, my give a shit was broken haha. Especially for something that eventually ends up looking The Thing’s dick…

 

i woulda just used some slip couplings and bands. Welding that kinda shit is a bitch to weld.

 

Well, I had to go from the manifolds back since the linky poos were in the way. It was truly terrible. Doesn’t look like much after it was all done, but it took hours to plan and cut and cycle everything. I used some pre-bent pipes and cut up the factory stuff which made it a little easier. Plus no manifold studs broke, God bless the South.

but yeah I’m totes jelly of your craftsmanship. Everything’s so clean!

 

If that shit was stainless you probably gave yourself some form of a heavy metal poisoning. Probably shave a few weeks off your lifespan as well LOL

 

Says the safety guy....

 

Lol the same safety guy that gave himself zinc poising and damn near puked at work the next day from it LOL!!

 

I think the summit racing stuff was aluminized steel which sounds just as healthy. I'm hoping it was the stomach bug going around daycare, but it sure was convenient timing

 

Phase 1 of fender cut. Gonna take it nice and slow. Got to drive around at 4lb of boost for a bit today. Complete spectacle with the open dump.
