XPOTRPR build & BS

So... Think I decided to hold off on re-gearing right now.. simply due to me not being able to make up my mind.

I am also still trying to save up for the gears, but things keep coming up and prolonging it anyways. So, might focus on some maintenance and knock out some smaller things instead and give me some more time to decide.

Especially with the Expo coming up. Need to buckle down and finish up shit.

 

What's on the list for ya before the expo?

 

X2

 

just little shit. tire rotation, clean the filter, maybe finally do my rock lights, possibly some bed lights. etc.

Gonna see what it will cost for Toyota to do my 90k service.. just dont have the time.

 

Lol u don't want to know. Especially if you have done it before on ur own. Minus taking the blower off which is a pain. But the techs r 90 an hour for labor up here

 

I know..

I just want to find out. gonna call later.

I just dont have the time to tear into it.. would be convenient to drop it off and pick it up.

 

Let us know! Or pay a buddy that has the time lol least ur money can go to his mods

 

I was thinking about you when I was doing my brake lines yesterday, got them all done.... buuut I just realized that I didn't put a gasket in my 3rd member yet, so I have to pull the lines back apart to pull the axle back out and put in the gasket

 

hahahaha... I dont know about that.. lol I might just have to buckle down this weekend maybe... start Friday night or something.

I bet yours were sooooo much easier! but that does suck! what do you use for the gasket? I need to replace mine.. its been leaking on the driveway for a little bit now..

 

oh, and the reason for my indecision..

4.56's and 34's

4.88's and 35's....

aaaaand go. lol

 

They actually werent too bad, easier than stock lines I think. I get to choose where they go so it wasn't too hard. My rear end is a Ford 9" so it uses a normal gasket. I bought a tube of sealant for the Tundra axle I had, I think I read Toyotas just use a sealant on the 3rd but I'm not 100% sure of that

 

Wanna borrow my spare and then try to say no?

 

I vote dirty 5's go big or go home. It's like when you give a mouse a cookie..

 

4.56 and 34 for longevity and being different.

 

4.56 and 35

 

and all the room! lol I heard that too, but I picked up a gasket from toyota.. so just trying to figure what method I should use.. or.. just let Toyota deal with it. lol

all good points.. and I may have to borrow 35 just to see...

I do like the fact its less headache and obvious strain to go with the 34's..

but tires = clearance

 

really?? whys that?

 

I say if your going to pay the money to regear... do 35s.

 

might as well right? just gotta trim and stuff em in there.

this also wont be happening for at least another couple years IF i do decide to do 35's... since thats when I'll need new tires anyways. same tire.. ST maxx in 35"

 

my opinion as well
