    Nice build up! Got any more pictures of your OBA system? I like your setup and would like to see how you have everything wired up.

    Yeah it was just a matter of time lol. :p

    I don't know...


    :(


    I realized even with an sas, I'm still a little too worried about body damage. I damn near took out my entire bedside and rear passenger side door the other night. I ended up only putting a few small dents in it but it made me pretty damn nervous. A solid axle would certainly help but I'd still feel bad if I flopped it or wrecked the sheet metal.

    I might just try to keep this truck as expo and save up for a 1st gen sas'd tacoma or something like http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/buy-sell-trade/174258-2007-sas-tacoma-double-diamond.html that I can really beat on and not care.

    Only time will tell.

    I am looking at picking up some inner and outer tie rod ends and a spare cv though. :)

    I can grab some for ya. It needs some work. It would be perfect if I took the time to bolt the compressor and tank to the bottom of the box, as of now they're flopping around and I managed to make the drain valve rip out of the bottom of the box and start leaking a little. I'm running it as is for now but I need to fix it soon.

    Hmmm... AP tie rod ends?:confused:

    I was thinking more spare ends rather than upgrade but you've got me curious.

    Quick question for you. Think a 4.0 backspace is the best you could do all considered or would something like a 3.75 better? How about say some 1.25 spacers?

    Depends on what you want to run and with spacers what BS you currently have.

    I'd say 4.0 - 4.5 is best for 33s - 35s.

    Nice to see 35s bein stuffed. Looks like a bit more clarancing and you're golden. And if you want more flex out of the rear, ill let you onto some cheap flex.

    Yep.

    I'm getting it aligned this week, changed the BJ position so maybe it'll give me a bit more clearance. Might try to get in there with the sledge again too.

    Yeah?


    Also, glad I have your bumper. I had to run it into that rock a bit to get up on it. :D
