Redneck92's 02 TRD Build - DD/Trail Rig

Added about 2 more inches on the driver side and 2.5 on the passenger side. Total of about 3 inches on the driver and 4 on the passenger.

 

Got some wheeling in this morning and last night. Ran Daniel, Rocky Mtn Loop, Dickey Bell, Dutch John, Wolf Den, Slab Pile and Slab pile. Truck did great I'm am extremely happy with how it's working. Tires were awesome, aired down to 12 up front and 10 in the rear. I had traction for days. Also got a little body damage. Tapped the bed on Bell hill.







Some from me messing around at the UORTC property at the Jamboree.

 

One more picture of the other weekend. The timing was perfect for when I hit the bed.

 

That's a sweet picture.

 

Went to the workday at Uwharrie yesterday and got some wheeling in afterwards with a guy in a FJ Crusier. Had a ball, did notice my cv boot starting pissing grease and the ball joints are doing the same so gonna have to do those here soon. Any recommendations on cv boots, the ball joints are going to be oem but not sure on the boots.

Some pics of yesterday messing around on poser rock.




Here's a really bad pic of the cv boot


Also figured out I need to extend the bump pad and cut my u bolts down some. Definitely using all my shock travel. Need to get rid of the 5125s and go 5150s.



Took some clearance pics while ice had it flexed.

How did you do that to the cvs?

 

The boots were oem and we're rubbing the inner fins and finally wore through. Gonna reboot and do the boot slide mod here soon.

 

Where did you get the spring clips to hold the leafs?

 

Auto Zone. They work ok, I'm only running one per leaf cause I'm cheap and they would hit the shock.

 

I gotta get some, my bastard leaf pack keeps sliding around. Also I saw you the other day in Smith.

Also I might head to URE with a couple guys this weekend, if maybe you're interested.

 

I would but need to study for some exams. Plus I wanna change the cv boots and lower ball joints before anymore wheeling.

 

Is the daily driver club/group that's going. A couple of my buddy's are going. Get in the group with the silver FJ and the Asian with the FJ80.

 

Sweet, I was thinking about meeting up with Ajohnson from on here to wheel Daniel early Saturday!

 

I told wes to run Daniel and then Dickey Bell. It should be dry but Bell hill is getting fun if you try Left.

 

I don't wanna hit my bedside, you think I can do it without hitting?

 

Yeah if you stay right or hit the middle you'll be fine.

 

Just stopping by to check out your rig and see if you abused my skid yet. Looking good!

 

Yeah they are getting good use. Should have a good abuse report come end of wheeling season.

 

Kinda torn at the moment on which ball joints to order. Either going to order OEM ones from Camelback or get the Raybestos or AC Delco pro grade from rock auto.

 

I would just go OEM. I ordered mine on Toyotapartsoverstock.com.
