You still need those slider holes drilled?

 

Yeah you free thursday?

I still need the Blue Sea too

 

I have a pre op appointment thursday and I need to get blood work done. Not sure what time but I'm sure I'll be around in the afternoon. Do you work at all thursday?

 

Nope. Planned on Hunting the morning and hanging with the GF later in the day. But I can push hanging out with her to later in the day

 

DKS $1425
TC $1679

 

yes sir. One day every year all winches are 50% off.... call it Bill Burk day or something.

The more you spend the better... If one guy calls and sets up the sale it's less BS they have to deal with.

meh... my urethane bushings have zero wear after 60k... might as well go spherical bearings if you want delrin because they would be stronger and both are bone jarring rides. .

meh....for $200 difference of "listed" pricing I would never ever stray from TC. TC is tried and true. Proven in races for many years. Sure you might save money up front, but in the long run who knows...

Who the heck is dirt king? Will they be even around in 5 years should you need parts?


I also would not want delrin bushings. They are rock hard and transfer shock just like steel. The more shock your truck takes the more stress cracks and issues that pop up like cracked cabs. No thanks....not building a race truck.

 

Delrin is a waste IMHO. Only thing it has going for it is the self lubricating... which also means it eats itself away.

Ill never stray from TC. I looked at all the new companies popping up over the years like LSK and for $100 per UCA difference there is no comparison. TC will always be around...these other guys.?.

 

What would be the benefits or main application(racing/crawling) of dual front shocks?

 

Looking cool and picking up all the skanks that fall for that kind of crap

No real need around here. Speed limit is 10mph in the woods in NJ.

 

With a racing application, is it worth it to keep a stock size lca vs going a LT route and getting the longer LCAs?

 

Who's racing?

Wider = more stable at speed

LT = more travel at speed

Seems to be useless around here and the width would kill you on most the trails I take. My tires already rub trees on both sides....LT would not fit.

Not that I wouldn't like to go 100mph through whoops, but thats not legal.

 

But you can outrun anything that's legal so... Not saying I condone going fast in the woods or anything.

 

No one is racing....lol
I asked what what was the application of a dual shocks and PSU said for racing... and I asked if it's worth it to have a taco build for racing with stock size LCAs...
I would have thought that a LT and wider LCAs would bring more benefits....

And I would also LOVE to build a racing truck if we had the environment for it...

 

I'm going to the Esmeralda Resort and Spa in Indian Wells CA for my company sales meeting in March... it's located right in the Palm Desert. ..
I want to do some type of ATV tour through the desert... I hope I get to see some LT truck in action...

 

So I posted this in live.

Boyd you said leave it on the back right? Its time to rotate the tires on my trucj... They are Josh's old ones and have between 27-33k miles on then and are good for another 17-23k or so...

If I don't get the tire vulcanized should I just leave them and not rotate them ever or rotate them and no vulcanize or find a place that vulcanizes near me and not worry about it?

 

Boyd, you gonna let toyota spray your frame? Might as well now that it's all fresh and clean. That goop is still clinging to most of my frame from nearly four years ago.

 

Got my ship date today! January 13,2015

 

It could, but Ive never looked into it because they don't apply to me. LT trucks sit LOW and no good through poop water.

Always better to have the back tire blow out instead of the front. Either way NEVER hit the brakes when you have a blowout. Driving Exploders prone to rollover for the past 12 years taught me that.

Mines not recalled yet. I'd gladly let them spray it if they extend the warranty. My frame looks nothing like the neglected frames others post on TW...even before I rehabilitated it.

Looking at Ant and Craig's trucks Sunday made me smile....mines all clean and black while theirs are all dirty and covered in rust

 

2nd gens are getting recalled?

 

Yea

Past 2 decades of Toyota POS pick ups have been recalled for crappy frames rusting out.
