As promised sorry had to attempt to liven up my morning with this thread.

 

looking good! its wont be long!! Whens the deadline to be wheeling

 

The wishful date was this weekend to go somewhere for Labor day. Now I am thinking sometime in the next 3 weeks, allowing time for some shakedown runs before Fall Crawl in Harlan Oct 19th wknd.

 

fun fun,

Im hoping to be in a rig on the 4th, so Ill perform a shakedown by driving the west coast in it while I burn off 72 hours before I can get it to the border

 

So you're planning on duplicating that on the rear, right? after all, i thought you were just building this thing to do doughnuts.......

 

I like how it puts the ram on a pivot, instead of clamped to the axle. prevents side loading the piston and extends the seal life.

 

*Taking notes*

 

Its also out of harms way and doesn't need a skid or anything for protection

 

Are you.... actually using my camera for once?

 

fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap...... I've spent the last day of work scouring over this build. Totally EPIC!!!!!! I didn't jump to the end so I didn't know if it was done yet till right now bahaha. I just wanted to say you have inspired me beyond believe and I am eagerly waiting for your updates to continue. Thanks for making a bad ass truck and good luck with your progress.

 

Nope still mah phone

Thank-you kind sir

 

So I am thinking about cutting out the resonators and eliminating them in my new exhaust. It will eliminate some work moving things around for clearance, but I don't want it to sound too awful.

Anyone have any thoughts/experience running without the resonators???

 

put a single, larger resonator further back, after the y-pipe? parent's '01 sequoia came like that and it worked well.

 

Thinking I am gonna ditch them for now and I will save them in case I want to add them back elsewhere in the system.

 

1 Ton T1oo Master Cylinder has 1-1/16" bore instead of 13/16". Had to modify and remove two of the four mounting point on it, and extend the pushrod 2-7/8".

Eric came by last Friday to lend a hand again and we got some more things done too.

Hoops and crossbar final installed and welded:



Then installed the shocks and front DS and cycled things one last time before teardown. Good thing. The was a slight interference between the crossmember and the double cardan joint, and the DS was kinda close to the side of the skid too. So we made more room.





Installed:





And then we did this:
