Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Not sure what the factory calls for. I changed the front/rear and t-case once a year. I have had the tranny flushed and filled at least twice that I can remember. That's what I did back when it was a wheeler and dd. I would probably extend that out a bit now that it only see's a few thousand miles a year if that.

 

ya I just simply cant afford an arb. I could get the full TRD rear axle for 200 but if i want to go wheeling this summer I cant afford that AND a new 4.56 and a full rebuild kit which im sure aint cheap. Ill just have to do without a locker for a while I guess. If an auto locker was given to me for free i guess I would throw it in but I dont think I would spend my money on it. I know it does fine most of the time on the road but for as much as I dd the thing i want a select-able locker or ill just save my cash.

also, i now has bro lean! Eibachs in with zero derps or fucks. Andy literally did everything him self. If I tried to actually help I would just get in the way. So I held shit when needed to and watched lol.

 

Yeah I know, But I abuse my truck like a redheaded step child. I feel better knowing its taken care of and can handle the abuse. Its either crawling slow or being bounced off the rev limiter.

 

Pics!

 

Sweet pics Ben! Sadly I don't think it will ever look like that again. Can you send those to me in an email when you get some time.

 

pm sent. My plan is to put some 35's if it stays IFS and 37's if I SAS. most likely custom front and rear bumpers may just buy a TG front though. The bed will get bobbed so a custom rear bumper will be built. If it stays IFS a full belly skid will be built. I would like to cage it now that the interior is pretty much removed. Also thinking about installing a full seat in the rear instead of the bench. That's the basic plan, will take me some time to do it. So it will probably be down for a while.

 

It's too dark for pics
Tomorrow

 

Konsta has been running a lockright for three years and it has held up. I ran a spartan in my old j**p GC and it was my DD. the spartan and lockright are the same thing honestly, this also includes an aussie too. same design. I put 45k on the spartan with multiple cross country trips. It is not that noticeable on the road. takes some getting use to when you drive with one but it works fine. I have a lock-right sitting in my back seat right now about to be installed tomorrow. with how much people bash the, i have seen them first hand and they work great.

just my 2 cents

 

nvm. crappy cell pics a la gas station style again

 

Looking really good mark. Now get rid of those fender trims or paint them black

 

looks like the next project is plasti dip tastic! grille and fender accents. black it is!

 

and the grille while hes at it

 

k well the rear bumper is going to have to stay obnoxious and probably chrome. It's going to take a beating regardless, so why bother painting it. And im not getting a new one any time soon, so it shall remain.

 

x2 i wonder how it would look on white

 

Shit anywhere is big on bandwagons and witch-burnings. I actually convinced someone today that LRs are good lockers. Good for say 33 or 35 in tires. Not 37"+ tires. Which I think is where this They got a bad rep.

 

ben, i looked at your pic and though "oh, i should spray a few coats on my turn signals to match the black bumper! Then remembered I had a plate bumper when I scrolled up lol,

 

CORRECT! I do! Ill be going wheeling here in a couple weeks. Ill get a few decent shots then.

 

monte,

 

you just hit it home with that their!!!

lockrights are good to a MAX 35 and that is pushing it, that is where you are better off buying a grizzly or a detroit

Im regretting not just going with a grizzly
