Stop by and paid Phil a visit after work and snapped a couple pics!
Truck looking like a beast brah!

 

Nice comparison!

 

is there weight in the bed? was wondering how come its nose high like that.

 

his front is higher than the rear no weight in the back he just needs them new leaf springs and that bad boy be geezy

 

Thanks man we gotta take better pics when we can haha he was still on the clock when i came by

 

nice! what is it sitting at now? looks pretty high from the pic.

 

sorry if you stated this before but what kind of sliders are those? Are they welded or bolt-on?

 

damn that really makes my ass look low FAAAk i cant wait for wednesday! i need to get this stuff done gentlemen

i need to get my truck as perfect as u got urs brenden cheee.

front is sitting at about 7half-8 inches rear is at about an even 6 so once i put my leaf pack on this wednesday and rip out those damn blocks and front spacer - maybe add a shim to prevent axle wrap not too sure if i need that tho we will see. crank coilovers i should be sitting at about 7-8 in the rear and about 6-7 in the front.

i found out where that clutch cherp is coming from. its something you need to look out for too on ur black beast. Turns out there is a TSB on our release bearing so if you start hearing the same kind of cherp toyota may have to replace it on their dime. Im scheduled for next week sometime. Should be an all day deal kuz they are dropping my tranny. so they might replace my clutch, release bearing, and possibly my flywheel. YAAAAAY 3 more years i dont have to worry about changing that stuff

 

Home made, bolt on.

 

Thanks for the heads up man.

 

Nate just saw u leaving Home Depot in PC. Like the tailgate.. Niiice!

 

like Nate said "custom" bolt-on

 

don't ask why... i just did it. doubt any of it is legal, but was fun to drive around. front driver was a PITA. but worth it. gotta try out kaena or sandys like this



and unlike anything vehicle related... they were easier to put on than take off

 

I have seen trucks before that made a "quick disconnect" type thing for the doors. LEGALLY you are to have a Rearview Mirror and ONE side view mirror, but I see alot of jeeps run around without the side view mirror. I have 2 side view mirrors for my JK.

 

Thanks! Not usually down there, but a friend asked me to meet him there and I needed some more gravel

Would I have recognized your truck?

That's awesome! But a good amount of work for a day of fun

 

Now that I know what to disconnect it'd probably take 30 min to take off all four

 

I don't think you want to wheel like that Brandon...
If you think it took a long time to take off, wait till you have to clean the interior

 

it actually looks kinda sick Brandon... i dunno hahaha maybe i should do it on my beast

jk hell no im not going to go through the trouble.



WRENCH-DAY-MOD-DAY

ANYWAY for anyone who is willing im going to definitely need some help tomorrow WEDNESDAY ... i might even start this afternoon on the rear end. but its time to do the overhaul on my truck i been needing to do. I am going to go to nappa and try get my cv axle too might try and bang that one out if anyone has experience. i would greatly appreciate and compensate for your time.

Hit me up guys if ur down. 808 652-26zeroseven

i got bbq charcoal grill in my yard, maybe wrench and grill might be fun ..... txt me with thoughts. most of today im spending time with my woman kuz tomorrow is allllllll truck

 

If youre changing out the axles make sure you have the socket for it, itll be anywhere around 32mm or so(not exactly, cross refrence that). once removed, its suggested not to be reused. the new axle should come with new axle nuts, be aware that may also be a different size socket. itll suck to have to run to the store a couple of times just to get new sockets and around $20 a piece.

im not sure if i can make it out that way because im picking up shifts to make sure i get all the hours i can before the summer is done. ill def let you know if i can though
