northwesttaco's SOLD LT Build w/ 35's and BS

Damn I thought it would have taken a few weeks. I guess they keep them in stock. Did you get the gas tank one too? Thinking about it since ill want to get it anyway in the future.
Thanks man

 

That was my thought as well. But they shipped right out. I did not. Maybe at some later point.

Oh and the bolts arent going to be labeled or anything. The front skid uses factory bolts. The mid skid to front skid use the short stubby allen buttonheads. The transfer case/mid skid to stock crossmember uses the long allen buttonheads. And the rear skid crossmember uses the short hex head bolts to attach to the frame (the small spacers go between the bolt/frame to give it a larger surface area).

I think thats everything. I can look again if you need though

 

Going to save that My pelfrey skids came labeled but thats Pelfrey lol going to get a pelfrey aluminum gas tank skid since that'll be hit the least, and its only 12 pounds

 

Yea that would probably do just fine.

Im waiting for your opinion on those gears!

 

Im so excited! I pick them up Tuesday or Wednesday at the Fed Ex locaiton and my appointment is first thing Thursday morning! So ready to have my power back.

 

Yeah they keep them in stock even though they say 3-4 weeks or whatever.

 

Finally ordered new front breaks

Going to call Demello this afternoon for something and also order cam tab gussets finally. Then my spending spree is over for now..

 

hey man, you have a sick build. really digging it!

I'm just wondering, I'm thinking of mounting a RTT on top of my cap, and trying to find out how much of an mpg hit it would be having it mounted up high like that? Did you notice any major difference??

Thanks!

 

Been eye'n that tank as well.

 

Thanks man means a lot!! I did a little bit but not a ton, it was maybe .5-1 mpg until I hit 70+ mph then its more like 1.5-2mpg's.. But my tent is also a lot heavier than most which will help depending on which tent you go with.

 

I think ill pull the trigger on it. Going to measure just to make sure. Skids also sold today! So im ordering skids right now

 

Not sure how much the Pelfrey skids weigh but the new ones are 157lbs total.. good thing I went 4.88 gears! Order is complete

 

Depending where you intend to mount it you may want to consider this version. Nate got the one you have linked but he had to have the mounting feet cut and moved. This version doesn't have feet so you can secure it in any orientation with a strap/band mount.

I saw that but for the same price (or close to it) it'll be a bit of a hassle i think to figure out how to hang it :/

 

Not kidding that's quick


And after 4 days with no tracking update, my gears arrived and left Portland this evening! Going to pick them up tomorrow, install appointment is Thursday morning

 

Yeeeeahhhhh booooyyyyyy!!

 

Got some heavy packages today



These rotors are beafy as hell. Can't wait to be able to stop easily again!

 

Holy shit what a difference the gears make!! Truck goes up hills effortlessly now. I have to go easy on the truck for 500 miles but it'll be so worth it.
Just have to switch the locker switches, I want it to be compressor, rear locker, then front.


Had to purchase the ARB manifold for the lockers


And I also upgraded the rear line to ARB's heavy duty line because knowing my luck a branch or rock will hit it, decided just to be safe. Goes from the fitting on the diff and is about 4ft long, connects to the regular blue air line then into the cab.

 

one day I'll be there
