Long Travel BS Thread

Not hardcore, but I do hit the trails many times a year. More than any other type of off road travel I do.

hmm..I'm on 35's now. fenders are already hacked, planning to redo the fenderwells in the future.

 

No sure about Alex, but the fiberglass looks too damn good not to, even with a +2 kit

 

How would you feel about banging glass flares against trees and such? I should be getting my +2 on soon, but the 3.5 would be my preference.

 

Thanks man, its auctually a 3 Link tho. I'll upload on here in a minute.

I have a constant check engine light thats been on since my headers and Y-pipe install a couple years ago and I haven't scanned for codes in awhile but I'll check next time I'm in the shop. Having a vapor lock issue due to some incorrect venting when my cell is completely full right now, trying to work that out, once I burn through a gallon or 2 it runs fine.

^^ dam that is beautiful!

I don't want that because I know I'll destroy them. Was going to just cut the crap out of the OEM ones. lol

 

Thanks man!

Fiberglass is a bitch but its stronger than most people think especially something thick like the front fenders but it can always be fixed! I bought mine used and already abused 3 years ago and I am still on the same set of front fenders, my original bedsides are on their 3rd truck and still look good, sold them to the guy that built the SCS truck.

 

Dat 4 link doe

 

Fixed

 

Oops.

I was never good at counting.

 

Thats a nice 3rd, Im just waiting for my rear end to give me a a single problem to replace it with a camburg or currie. I also have the check engine on because of the headers and cat delete but Im planing to get the URD module to get that cell out. I sent a message to the guy that made the full cell work to you but hasn't replied, do you have contact with him?

 

my roommate built it and wired the whole truck. shoot me a pm and ill get you in touch with him

 

azwillis on instagram is who where talking about right? #willisfabworx #dentoracing and that shit correct?

 

tommygunfab on IG is who designed and plumbed my fuel system. Willis finished all the fab work on my truck.

 

He built that one for padens truck

 

So who did it better?

 

theyre both almost identical, mine just has dual filler necks. Willis saw mine that Tommy did and built one similar. Cant go wrong with either, both great fabricators and prep guys

 

Finally fixed my steering play today.

Replaced all UCA and LCA heims.
Removed my homemade UCA gussets and installed TC gussets.
Replaced intermediate steering shaft.
Adjusted the rack and pinion backlash. I think this is what primarily eliminated slop in my case, as the slop was between the steering shaft and the tie rods (I.e in the rack)
Built a flush fit trailer brake plug receptacle on the back bumper.

 

How do you adjust the pinion backlash?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. http://www.customtacos.com/tech.old.../06toyrm/06toypdf/06rmsrc/rm2006ta/045007.pdf
