XPOTRPR build & BS

Hmmmm... almost positive I threw that out when I moved - because I'm a fckn noobasaurus

oh and I'm excited to see the plans unveil but shit man get to bed! it's a school night for you now!!

 

You should ride in my truck and see what you think about the Icon setup to get an idea man

 

In order to have a correctly set-up leaf pack, to resue your overload leaf you would have to remove 2 leaf's out of the Icon AAL to get the placement correct. At that point, the AAL was a waste of $, and you lose the progressive rate spring pack benefit.

Some people do put it back in on the bottom, but that put's added stess on the pack.

 

LOL I was waiting for you to add your input and I'm glad you did.

Thanks

 

interesting. thanks! I may come in and talk to you about some options here soon.

front and rear.

 

so when i ordered my leaf bushings from toyota, i couldnt remember if they came with 2 or all 4. so i ordered 2 packs. well, they came with 4 so i exchanged one pack for some goodies. didnt have a sunshade.. so why not.

 

How much was said sunshade? I could use a fresh one myself haha

there is a j66 pack for sale

 

Was like 15 bucks. Not the best, but for not having one at all, it'll work and is pretty cool.

Good Lookin out.

after talking to a couple peeps, may do a custom pack

Any recommendations anybody?

Also, after my late night adventure tonight, the truck is making some WEIRD noises. Seems to be associated with driveline. Towards the rear. Squeak sound, seems rotational or vibration. Gonna spray the undercarriage tomorrow. Maybe a bunch of sand is fouling it up. Idk. The truck in general is really feeling and sounding pretty bad. Lots of vibes. Clunks. This new issue. I hope I don't have issues with the 3rd member or anything. It is leaking.

 

Lookin that way. I really don't know what it could be. Definitely something I haven't heard or experienced before. I'm hoping to have Az driveshaft take a look. Check/replace the CB. Balance driveshaft. Etc.

 

I was going to say do you think it might be the cb? It seems like everyone is having them fail

 

When you are rolling and put into neutral and let it cost does the squeal stay the same or drop with engine RPM? Could even be something in the rear wheels/brakes/rims if you were in the mud

 

That's why I'm gonna start with just spraying it all out. Its definitely more prominent under load. Taking off from a stop. Once I'm up to a decent speed it goes away. Atleast I think cuz I can't hear it. It sounds like its right under the truck. Which makes me think its the CB or u joints.

Quick video on my lunch. You can hear it. Even in reverse it makes some popping sounds.

 

Cannot play on phone......
Mooshknuckle how long has this been going on?

 

Can't play on my phone either. :/

Please don't say ring and pinion. ....

 

dumb.. why cant it be watched from a phone? it works on mine. cant find anything on youtube regarding that either... hate youtube..

just since my last excursion off road. I thought I had some CB issues prior.. had some symptoms that pointed me to that.. now this.. which makes me think it is going out. I just climbed under the truck and could easily get atleast a 1/4 to 1/2 an inch of play in the CB/driveshaft. while under there.. i noticed another thing that could be causing ANOTHER issue i was experiencing. upon take off.. the truck would make a clank sound..as if something was taking up slack in the driveline... and 2 pieces of metal were clanging together. Im going to get the go pro mounted under there right now and see what i can come up with.

 

I was able to watch the video on my phone.

 

ugh.. burnt my arm on the exhaust. cant find the cables to charge the gopro.. runnin out of light..

might be doin this tomorrow..
