Anyone from Menifee-Temecula

Yeah, that too! Throw that Detroit True Trac back in there and you'll be golden.

 

It was pretty epic. It started off grim when Mike's third member took a dump during a little drag race. Luckily we were only a few miles from home so we parked it and consolidated in the other two vehicles. We've been on that trail so many times now that we prerun it as fast as possible. I wish you could have made it. Oh well, we'll definitely go again real soon and will post on TW when we do.

 

Oh dang that blows. You'll have to take pictures when you do the repairs haha. But yeah let us know when you're going out again.

 

I dont think it will look too devastating since I was able to drive home slowly. Hopefully I can get my spare 3rd in very soon.

 

Hahaha right on. Let us know what the total damage is when you swap em out.

 

Took apart the 3rd and the pinion gear had some missing teeth. Sorry no pic. It got dark pretty fast. I was going to put in my other 3rd but wanna swap the 4.56 for 4.88 to narrow up the gear ratio a bit more.

 

That pinion was cooked. Teach you to . Haha turned out to be a godsend though so we didn't lose you out on the trail.

4.88s for the win

 

Lol dude those are some short gears lol. What size tire are you running? That things gonna scream lol

 

Yeah now he's talking about 5.29s. I call it madness

 

he's gonna need bigger tires cause he's gonna be redlining that thing at 45mph across town

 

HAHA ya my buddy who build trucks is like put 5.29's in there. Seems very tempting since it's just a play truck and 4.56 are still kinda gutless for me.

 

Jeeze 5.29 is a crazy ratio. What size tires is he running and what kinda truck? Any pictures of the truck?

 

He is running 35's. Toyota pickup, ill try to find some picks.

He has 150' of tubing for just his cab cage.

 

That truck was sex and was just a 4 banger too.

 

Pretty awesome looking little truck. 5.29's seem good for 35's. What's the suspension like?

 

rzimm001, are you long-traveled now?!

 

No sir. Just 9.5" angry inches and I use it all

It's pretty amazing what some good valving and bigger rear shocks can do.

 

The suspension is nuts, Rear is just a deaver 64 with triple bypass 18" sway a ways. Then the front is 100% custom made with a 2.5 coilover and a 3.0 triple bypass. Dont quote me but i remember he saying strapped at " travel in the back and strapped at 18" in the front.

 

Dude that's beast. Some people are just good with building suspensions and pulling crazy travel. Especially if you make it one of a kind and not try to incorporate stock parts.

 

Dang, I bet he could almost take me with that setup

That is super g-nar for any truck, especially a small taco. I think he has more suspension than he has truck haha.
