Matt's Long Travel Prerunner build

So are you still trying to sell or not?

 

not really. it's just not a good time to try to sell. i could make a sale, but i'd take a huge hit.

for now i'm just going to keep building it and get myself a DD car

 

about 3", but i'm going to take as much preload off the coils as i can so it should only be a little bit higher than it is now. got some F67's sitting in the garage too. it's time to get some rear leafs on the truck

 

Ya, now is a pretty bad time. It still is a freaking sweet truck

 

yup, truck will be up and going by the 22nd w/ lots of new goodies that need to be properly broken in.

i'm trying to figure out when i'm going to have time that weekend to make it up to pismo.

what time on friday you think you'll get there?

 

They should do that for 2nd Gens too, it'd be awesome!

And those spindle are sweet!

 

right on. i'm going to try to make it up there friday afternoon and camp, but chances are i wont be able to make it up there till saturday. i'll have to head back on saturday too.... easter is sunday.

 

they are

 

Imma hold you too that sir!!!!!

 

call up solo and ask them about the 4WD spindles

they said they are getting close to finishing them up

save your pennies

 

Oh I'm going to now!!! lol (well Monday) that'd be awesome upgrade!

 

I keep looking at em going "how much do I love my 4wd"

 

You get them on yet? Pics!

 

i'm dropping my truck off w/ Adam this wednesday to get a bunch of crap taken care of, spindles included.

just wait till you see them on, you'll forget all about 4WD haha

 

4wd is too sweet, you just thinkin stupid for a few seconds.

 

He got a 12" Giant Shackle if I'm not mistaken!

 

traditionally, the 9" shackle is run through the frame on the 5 lug tacomas w/ the F55 pack and the 12" shackle is mounted on top of the frame w/ the F67 on the 6 lug trucks. thats how things are "supposed" to be done.

the shackle length really only has to do with ride height (lift) but to run the 9" on top (like i am) you have to notch the frame to clean the shackle movement.

to macth the extra lift up front from the new spindles i'm going with the 12" Giant shackles i picked up over on DR. the F67's have a much better spring rate for the "heavier" 6 lug trucks. the truck is going to work so much better.
