LOTSOFTOYS PANDA BUILD

thanks!

ha i knew someone would comment on that.... its actually a Sequoia, its gettin a new frame. you would crap yourself if your trucks frame was that rusty.

 

yeah its the guy next to me... pretty cool seeing a Sequoia body lifted off the chassis

 

Warrantied?

 

looks like a V8 swap lol

 

yup, just like the first gen tacos. that recall/inspection included tundras and sequoias.

ha nope... the drivetrain will be swapped to a new frame

 

Would owner really notice if a 3.4 was in place and the i force was in your taco?

 

Thanks man! I think I may go for it and do a custom hoop. I wanna build my own front but I can't seem to find the time and I don't want to wait till I get my own house haha

 

Can you say shoehorn? I say do eet!

 

Nah... I speak sawzall!

 

yeah, they have a hoop u can buy, and a stinger if u want... i added the light tabs.... but as for the bumper, i like it

 

Yeah I'm not really a fan of their light bar and the stinger looks awesome on bigger SAS trucks but kind of out of place on smaller ones and I don't know that I could put up with that monstrosity till I go solid axle haha

 

exactly why i went with low profile

 

I wish I would have made up my mind last week! They were having 10% off till Jan 2nd... Now it's reg price

 

damn..... check their distributors. they have deals sometimes that tg doesnt. check out lowrange offroad. they sponser our moab event too, cool company

 

so i have my new shockmounts, just got my ubolt flip kit. now with the new bump stop welded to the top of the ubolt flip, what if the bump is too short? do u weld a block onto the frame so the bump has something to hit or do u raise the bump off the axle? im thinkin number 1 would work better

 

Yeah I watched some Lowrange videos on youtube. The bumper is actually like $20 cheaper than trailgear and shipping is less than half of trailgear so I may go with them. Still googling for cheaper places

 

Buy a longer bump stop and reweld. What did you get for the rear? I need to get some longer bumps maybe if your's are wrong I can haz?

 

^^ He has a good point Jace.

Scrap it all and start over with a SUA set up. I'll bring the cutter.

 

hahaha well currently jason i dont have bumps in the rear. my springs go negative arch asfar as they can and then it lifts a tire.... no bump needed. technically i could still rock this same setup after the ubolt flip. my reasoning for running a bump was for added security at full stuff at higher speeds or drops off rocks.... i was planning on measuring and mounting the bump so it stops the axle at the exact same point as it stops naturally. just the last inch or so would be "softer" and controlled....
