Redeemed: rngr's Trail Taco w/side of T4R

Saweet truck and nice work so far. I have basically the same exact setup. I've been debating putting in my axle relocation plates but my tape measure eyeball says it will put my rear axle past center of the wheel well and then be biased to the rear. Kinda hard to tell from the pic but in person is it damn center?

 

Thank you. It's pretty dang close to center, but is still ever so slightly forward of center. I mean just a tad.

 

Looks good! Forgot how skinny those were

 

Thanks. I'm pretty sure when i was going trough tire specs, I remember the km2 having the skinniest actual width of all the 255s.

 

Welcome to the cool kids club. EVERYONE'S DOIN IT!!!

 

My rear tires were rubbing on the heads of the fender flare screws when stuffed. I replaced them with some stainless flat heads and washers that sit almost perfectly flush. I'm thinking this will have all my rubbing issues resolved.

 

Didn't know tires ran?

 

I didn't know a pile of shit could type, but sure enough I quoted the proof.

 

As did I

 

Hahaha. Good catch.

 

Whoa

 

Hi,
Reading thru your build. I have two questions, first, when you said *insert below*, were you referring to all four tires or just one? Sorry if that sounds like a stupid question, just want to make sure.

And 2nd, do you have aftermarket control arms (ie: AP,TC, LR)? Thank you.

 

Ha ha. That is 1:55 (roughly) per tire. I wish it would do all 4 in that time.

Also, I still have stock control arms. I was shocked at how well it aligned. I may upgrade eventually, but I have no plans for than anytime soon.

 

Carter, that pic of your son driving with you is priceless! Best facial expressions ever! Love it.

 

Thank you! He really loves it. I put it in 4Lo 1st gear and let it crawl, but to him I'm sure it feels like he's running the Baja 1,000. I should probably post that here as well.

 

Draw a beard on him and no one will ever know. Haha

 

He might look a little like me. Ha ha.

 

Sunday stroll. It was a beautiful day.

 

This thread sucks.
One day there will be lockers, sliders, camper tops, and skids to report on. In the mean time, here's a pic of the mighty Cumberland.


Also, who knew greasing your drive shaft could be so dangerous?

 

You're not doing it right if you don't cut yourself at least once!
