Tacokid09's Build

truck looks awesome, how does it push those 35s though? especially in the sand

 

It didn't used to be a big deal because I couldn't go fast. Its a whole different ball game now having actual suspension haha sketchy as funkk

 

thanks man! i appreciate it. but the 35s are bogging the 2.7 pretty damn good. im still on stock gearing (4:10s) and im getting about 65 miles per quarter tank haha. other than that i dont have an issue at all. i have traction everywhere in the sand with them too.

start going out during the day and learn where the drops are! haha.

 

Yep, practice makes perfect. I'm still looking to get some extra lighting for night practice!

 

save for the LT fooooooooooool and or get fiberglass

 

story?

 

I was following a route I know pretty well but it was dark and high beams only shine so far ahead of the truck when going down hill... so as I was coming down this hill I was farther to the right than I should have been and I was headed straight for a little washout with a 10' almost vertical sand wall by a fence at about 30mph. When my lights were finally pointing at the sand wall I was about 20 yards from it and I imedeatly stomped on my breaks and ABS completely fucked me. I stuffed the front end pretty hard and ended up going half way up the dune. I threw it in 4 wheel and backed off and I thought for sure the front end of my truck was either ripped off or completely caved in. The only damage I can find was sand scrapes on the stock skid plate so I guess it did its job. After 2 days no noises, no weird thing happening and my steering is strong and true down the freeway at 70 so I guess I lucked the fuck out hahaha

 

Sounds like you need a skid! I'd love to get my hands on a 2012

 

Skid plate time

 

Bumperrrrr

 

I guess its about that time! We should chat at pismo meet, I've seen your work and I think my 2012 would love your hands on her

 

See you out there. PM me if you have any questions.
