So. I'm stuck guys.

A new front diff is going to cost me 1200 minum or up to 2k with locker. Which it being my second time I think I should opt for the locker.

However. That's a lot of money..duh.

It's more tempting to slap some tires on Igor, which he needs anyways. And start wheeling igor. Granted much lighter from what I'm used too.

I can't afford both at this time. Frank is due for tires soon as well and the blower is being a bitch which makes me just want to remove it.

Thoughts? Opinions? Shit talking? Anything?

Oh and mike. What's the situation with your alt?

 

If your going to buy tires for Igor anyway. Just move your tent over and do some light wheeling with it the rest of this summer, save your money and do it right. Then wheel with Frank next year.

 

Agreed. This seems like a logical route.

@BossFoss did you CB stuff show up yet?

 

I'll just trade you my turd for Igor.


Problem solved

 

This week, should all be here by the weekend. Probably work on the AFR gauge this coming weekend and when your back have you help with the CB since I'm a newb with that stuff. If your available

 

wheeling Igor will be fun and whole new challenge. As long as you don't put 33s on him, you'll be fine. Tho you better setup the scangauge to monitor trans temps.

I cleaned the mud off is all I've done so far. Supposedly, the local advanced auto has one. I was going to look into that this week.

Does this mean we are definitely going to go back to Utah?

 

Well I want to go. But I want Frank. Haha wheeling Igor in the bighorns was interesting. Had to pick lines for the first time in 3 years.

I was thinking cooper st maxx 255/85r16

 

on stock gearing? Those are real 33s. You'll end up hating it.

 

I don't. I have no armor at all. Hardly any additional weight. Won't be like yours quite yet.

That's my other problem with doing anything to Igor. It's the start of the downward spiral of modification haha

 

I agree with bossfoss. Get Igor road ready and then save up for frank.

Huge congrats to @m3bassman on the engagement. You're going to have a wedding with wheeling, ya!?

 

I like the wheeling wedding..means you have to have a rig to attend the ceremony

Just give my babyt



Yea okay. Tires for Igor it is.....






Then sliders...


Then skids..


Then bumpers...


Then regear/locker...




So it begins.

 

Meh it's not so bad. Your probably going to be at the point of family wheeling in the future anyway. Going to need a backseat for the car seat. Might as well start now so it's ready and not being able to go cause the kids won't fit in frank.

 

That's fair. My plan was always to build Igor for a tamer more overland build. Frank would be the true toy...as he is.

Thinking 255/80r17s now. Only 210 a tire for st maxx. Can run my dads old 17s. Or...get some SCs rims...

From what I'm seeing our trucks should have a dual diaphragm booster already. Just need a bigger MC. T100 is an easy option. It's 1/16" bigger in dia. Or do the chevy swap.

 

This is interesting. I think it was Jon who first suggested that a larger master cylinder and brake booster might be a better solution that the larger, Tundra brake upgrade that seems to be popular right now.

 

Yea. I came across a thread on a tundra forum, they where swapping out their boosters for a T100s/ours. Because theirs is a single diaphraim and ours is dual which makes it easier to press the pedal and stronger. The T100 MC is a bigger Dia.

Think im going to try it on Igor since my front brakes are FUBARed anyways. I'll get the Tundra calipers and rotors and a T100 MC.

Jon put a t100 MC in Erics truck. Not sure how easy it was. Comments fellas? @45acp @Supra TT

 

Yea and taking Igor to the big horns reminded me of that too.

Was pretty set on 255/85s when i got to this point. Not sure what else id run. I want a narrowish tire since 95% of Igor's driving is street and i want to retain some of the mileage.

265s would be possible maybe.
