The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

how did the 5 pack ride over washboard and stuff like that?

 

with out the aal? I honestly couldn't really tell you.

I only had it without the AAL for like a week, i never went wheeling with it with out the AAL.

HOWEVER, i did tow with my trailer and drive around town ect. It was quite nice really. Stiffer then my old pack but much more responsive to bumps and no bounce.

Ask MTgirl how hers are doing. She has just the 5 pack and OME 881s. Has had it like that for over a year now.

Now with my AAL the ride stiffened up quite a bit especially with no weight in the back. But with some weight in the back, its awesome.

 

Great build man, keep up the progress

 

Thanks man! Should be quite a few good mods here soon

 

thanks man. Right now I am going between the Alcan/Wheelers 5 pack or the Alcan 8 pack. Right now the 5 pack is in the lead because its $150 cheaper

Going to couple it w/ the existing 1.25'' shackles to get right around 2.5'' hopefully after the leafs settle.

 

Yea well an 8 pack will give you like 4''+ of lift man haha those are heavy duty expo packs.

The 5 from wheelers is just around 1.5'' and with that shackle would put you at just over 2ish.

really just depends on the look ya want..can always add the aal like me too haha

 

When I'm feeling rich i will haha

 

Im only gonna try and trade my 33s for 35s. If i can't i won't.

 

Well what the hell are you waiting for?

 

A chance to actually see my neighbor! lol Actually had the PERFECT opportunity the other day..i was in the truck leaving and he was coming out of his house...woulda been perfect..sept i was in a huge rush

On a side note, Jon, you have any good links on how to tub my wheel wells??

Thanks bro!

 

I had the same problem last month with my Photobucket account when all of a sudden the photos in all my threads dissappeared. Quite annoying!!

I learned that they give you 10MG of files to upload every month and if you exceed that amount, then you have to wait until the next duration (whenever that is) until the next month when your account resets back to "0" and you have 10MG of files to upload again. At that point, all of your photos then magically reappear in all of your threads.

Instead of upgrading, I started a second account as well. I didn't realize they actually send you a reminder when your account is "getting low" and you are almost to the limit where you'll exceed the monthly limit of 10mg's. Mine were all getting sent to my trash box so I had no idea about this until I researched it.

 

well poop..i guess i better start a second account then..sheesh.

 

without pics, this build never happened...lol.

 

Haha i know..just kinda fell outa thin air haha

 

Pics work!

i will clean out my current account of all the photos i never use anymore...stuff i was selling..supra..ect..make more room for the truck


And sliders are built! Just gotta ship now

FL240s should be here any day now too.

Then I'm gonna have a come to jesus talk with my pops about getting rid of the supra...sept the turbo...and a few other things...

 

No. But he doesn't like it as its been taking up half his shop for 3 or so years. And he wants it done. So he won't like that ill be giving up on it basically. But my mom is on my side..so i think i win haha hopefully he will be supportive with my truck build a bit more. I think he will...hope..

 

Who built the sliders?

 

Jerry did

Started a 24 hour GB practically on accident remember? Lol

So ill have me some BAMF kick out sliders soon And hoping to make my down payment on my Elite rear bumper here soon too.

Then sell off the car and get the bed rack built and a RTT. The RTT and bed rack are a must IMO for my needs. Id use it almost weekly i think.

maybe lockers and skids will come outa the car too.

Id like to redo my rear suspension tho..but i doubt that'll happen for a while..unless my packs can't cope with the weight.


Oh..and of course..ill try and turbo the SOB some where in the mix of all that ha
