T4R is down! T4R Check In Here

Flooded in NJ. Had to gut the carpets and such to let it dry out. Then I brushed the floor with a bristle brush and vacuumed the mud out

 

Problem #1: GO MOAR FAST

 

Glad i didn't, was wayy deeper than i thought it was, coulda hydro locked the bitch up, that woulda suxked big time.

 

All i did was hit a puddle on a trail....a few times.

It cleaned up great but damn.



After

 

Redneck car wash FTW

 

i was going to cross a small patch of a lake inlet but decided against it. I love doing low crossings but now ill avoid the puddles. Shit got EVERYWHERE..

 

Fordyce creek crossing is by far the worst up in norcal, those are 37s, maybe one day i'll try it.

 

NO thanks! I was in Lake Almanor, next weekend ill be up in Ice House. At least its mainly dirt there and i can easily go around stuff i dont want.

 

It's mainly the engine im worrying about, i don't really give a fuck if my whole truck goes under water for couple hours. probably clean out all the dirt and stuff lol

 

Exactly, yeah I'm just gonna leaf the rear to try and cut down on some cost unless I can magically pull a 4 link out of my ass. Also, 5.13 are the biggest you can fit in a 60 IIRC. Altas would be on my list, but fuck man... $4000+ ugh.

^^^ this guy (callen) lives like 15 min up the road from me. He had it for sale on CL back in feb for $14k. Pretty sure he didn't sell it though.

 

lol even my buddies on 40's+ hate those river crossings at fordyce.

 

Eric you should be going on the Slick Rock trip with us....

 

Fuck that puddle, I'm still have issues with my alternator because of it. I only went through it once too.

 

Nice but if I was you I would go high front and low rear. If you put a high pinion rear your gonna be pushing your rig with the coast side of the gears. Just Fwi

 

Lol I avoid mud like the plague but unfortunately sometimes it is completely unavoidable

 

i can't man, this is dead week, gotta cram for finals.

funny cuz my truck was 4 feet deep in mud puddle in carnegie, under water in tahoe, thru mud puddle in FR and my old ALT still works fine.

 

So do I and that was the last time I've gone through significant puddles or mud. It's fun, but just causes issues.

Weak, but I understand. My alt only has issues every couple of months, but usually when my Fiance is in the car. Go figure.

 

Ballistics 14B 4-link kit is 1400 buck. Comes with links, joints, truss, diff cover that ties to truss, pinion guard, and brackets. But a leaf will be cheaper though.

And think about it this what if you want to up your gears in your T-case than pretty much your option is an Inchworm Lefty (2000). All the 3rd gen 4Rs driver drop tcases are chain drive (1st gen tacos too). Add a doubler and your gonna be at a good 2500 area. A 4spd atlas can be had for about 3500. When your talking about a build like this 1000 isn't that much bud. You can save some $$$ if you convert to pass drop and get a older tcase as 1st and 2nd gens are gear drive. After you have build a tcase/doubler your gonna be in it at min 1500 to 2000 if you go chromo in it. Then add in the work to deal with exhaust routing and body clearance (kiss the rear heater goodbye) yeah a lot of work. Kinda seeing my point lol

Nope 5.38 but that is the highest you can do on a ford D60. If you go pass drop you can get all the way to a 7.17I think but that is way way low and getting that low will mean that your teeth are starting to get really thin.

And hmmm I was wondering what his rig looks like. Seen him talking on pirate but never seen his rig.

 

Sweet thanks for the links! looks like i'll be 4-linking the rear as well...

 

Me too.

Don't be surprised if you see me driving a 1st gen in the next few years. Solid Axle of course
