Hey guys, how much would the hood scoop internals be? I've got a deal for a scooped hood, just primered with no scoop internals.

 

I think ORW has some weld on ones then you can put them on your frame and put the resis there, then they wont hit the tire when you flex.

Also on the bumps Hydros are best (more expensive) , Check out what Lembowski was talking about maybe? Or do the ones like David did in his build, I did the same thing on his truck and its perfect allthough your gonna need more arc to take advantage of getting some more uptravel than your current leafs, probably 2-3" more spring, maybe Doug can make them taller?

Check out what Lembowski was referring to, didnt look myself, but sounds like a bolt on hydro bump, if so might be worth looking into..

Or the ones David has I dont remember what brand they are though.

I hope you are happy with the work and thank you very much for allowing me to do it, super clean truck BTW! I think it turned out really good.

 

Well he's about 3" over stock now, I can get him another inch or so but he'll need shackle flip .. I stop at 4" & take no responsibility for anything over that, too many issues with vibes over that probably

 

Vibes shouldnt be a problem with angled pinion shims, right?

 

Jason, there's a new TW member who has been PM'ing me about adding a locker to his SR-5 Taco... or getting a locking diff at the junk yard... I advised him to post his questions on the forum to get more input, but specifically to seek you out for advice and if he is in San Diego to contact you for help. Just an fyi heads up.

 

No problem, I will help if I can, thx!

 

Anyone with an interest in seeing/ buying our book can drop into the gift shop at Mission San Luis Rey, in Oceanside (Hwy. 76, Rancho del Oro signal), as they started stocking it today!
Thank you!

 

Yeah they may work, but they are a ticking time bomb

 

Well yeah , that & 2- 3/4" spacers for the carrier drop..

but thats alot more work... & I'm tired....

 

Haha, pretty much anything to lessen the driveline angles. WTF are you doing so late? Are you a fking Vampire?

 

I need to bet one of those David! And congrats on the new sale point, perfect place to sell those, I would imagine all th elocal Missions would want to sell them

 

Thinking about doing a day trip this weekend, somewhere close, plaster city maybe, iono. Any takers?
