Every time you send me a link or invite me supposedly, have something already line up.

 

He's got crop circles to work on...busy guy.

I'm actually looking at the TJM locker for the rear. Cheaper and the moving parts are outside the 3rd member. Might do that if I regear the truck in the stock housings.

I'd be more than happy to go on some more difficult trails after the above and at least some skids. BudBuilt or All Pro, that's my dilemma now. Heard better things about BudBuilt's but they're on the east coast and All Pro is an hour or so away.

 

Harvest season is over, but ridding season is right around the corner. heading up to Dumont dunes oct 1, Glamis 24-27th oct and November 16 for bday run to dove Springs. But you don't like Sand tom.

 

Speaking of sand...anybody else going to the Pismo Jamboree in 2 weeks?

 

my opinion about those skids are this..they both offer the same protection are more then adequate for our trails out here. the buds stick down lower then the allpros and cause the taco to get hung up on rocks more. my buddy denny first had the allpro skids then sold them to me so he can buy the buds, got the buds and got hung up..a lot. so he sold those and then bought another set of the allpros.

 

everybody knows that i dont like sand in my bajayjay

 

haha

 

Why get so invested in suspension and skids for ifs if your solid axle swap is gunna be done by the end of the year?

 

Actually, it will be a lack of down travel not up travel. Think about it. If your Shocks are too short and you get higher lift leaf springs, it will Max out your shocks. If u wanna do it right, you'll need new shocks and brakelines front and rear, new leafs and spindles. You'll be looking at about 3k in suspension parts if u buy new.

 

I'm gonna be living with it for the next 3-4 months, and I'm always about improving where I can. Most of the skids can still be used with a SAS, just not IFS.

And the 700# coils because I know I can't wheel my truck with that plate bumper and winch on the 650# coils. They're not really all that expensive, and I can always sell them in 4 months when they come off.

If the TJM locker is a good enough price, I'll do it and probably get a lot more out of my factory rear-end than if I were to sell it as an open diff.

 

Ah ok. I'm pretty sure you have 700lbs coils. That's what dean told me. Maybe get longer 700lbsto springs. Maybe 14".

 

They could be 700lbs 13"...either way, they're too short and a bit too soft. A #700 14" would be perfect.

 

$3k

Spindles are $480 shipped with TW discount. Could do some AllPro standard leafs for what maybe another $300-400? Brake lines ~$100. That puts me at a grand. Then a little bit down the road I'll upgrade my rears to some icon 2.0 resis for maybe another ~$600. Then I'll work on front

 

got to pay to play Anthony.

 

Ya. So that's 3k for everything dude. Got to pay to play 'ese. Or buy used. Better off that way IMO. No point on buying brand new shocks when you can buy used for way cheaper and rebuild

 

I may be dropping my Icon 2.0 resis soon. If you can hold off for long enough, I can sell you my whole front and rear setup minus the leaf springs.

I make you very good price, my friend!

 

Wachu getting for the rear?

 

A bushing caused its all reamed out from last nights bumper thread.

 

Interested
