Loco's Mid Travel Badassery Build-Totalled

Assholes...

 

My poor truck.

 

Better get a new clutch. May as well get a crawl box too while you're at it!

 

New clutch in my future...crawlbox not so much...

 

So by phil saying crawl box not so much he actually means.. Crawlbox … next year.. I see the pattern.

 

That is the trend isn't it...not doing anything till I see Craig's triple stick setup.

 

Start looking for the fj transfer case now.

Crawlbox is where it's at. Turtle race

 

I see you did the ATO shackle flip kit. today i ordered....
Order for today.........
- OME Heavy duty AAL
- All Pro Extended rear brake lines
- All Pro Ubolt flip kit/ Bump stops
- Armor Tech Offroad Shackle Flip kit

1) How was the install of the ATO flip kit?
2) Were the XJ shackles worth it?
3) How was the install of the AP ubolt flip?
4) How did you configure your bump stops?
5) Did you have to do any type of shim for the angle of the axle after you did all of this?
6) Did you have to move the axle forward or backward at all?

Thanks! Truck looks great by the way.

 

I just sent you a PM back with all the info... Good luck!

 

Thanks so much man!! This helps immensely!

 

How's about copying that reply and posting it here lol Pretty sure I know the answers though

 

Yeah I would like to know as well

 

Here you go...
1) How was the install of the ATO flip kit?
Not hard but it sucks taking out the OEM rivets. I used and angle grinder and caffinated hatered but others have had success with air chissels or drilling them out.

2) Were the XJ shackles worth it?
To me yes. They give the perfect shackle angle for my specific setup and are greasble while providing just a little bit more lift (Less than 1/2")

3) How was the install of the AP ubolt flip?
Super easy as you will need to remove the stock stuff to install the OME AAL, Its time consuming threading the new nuts...AllPro uses a pinch method when the nuts are made to keep them from backing off but also means you fight them down all the way... Trick here is to have a deep 22MM socket to install those nuts with a ratchet.

4) How did you configure your bump stops?
I am running a set of Daystar 4 1/2" bumps that are mounted to my frame and contact the new all pro plate that goes on top of the axle. Some just tack weld the OEM omes to the new all pro plate or you can order the all pro plate tapped to install the OEM bumps or spend the big money on Timbrens... Lots of options. Do a search and see what will work for you.

5) Did you have to do any type of shim for the angle of the axle after you did all of this?
Nope. No vibes got lucky.

6) Did you have to move the axle forward or backward at all?
Nope.

 

Excellent information my good man!

 

yea thanks for the help. This will save me a lot of time searching the forums. Although im going to creep them anyway

 

Quick question, are the relentless bed bars the standard or the ones with a 3" rise?.. Great build btw, this truck is a beast

 

The bed bars actually ATO with an 8" rise. The put my RTT dead on level with my cab.

I recently ordered a new bed cage in 10" of rise to give me some more room and line it up with the new prinsu rack.

My bed bars are for sale BTW...
