Basik Built taco

good work man

 

Thanks! Cage isn't done completely yet, still have a few tubes I'd like to add, but it'll work for now

 

hey it's better than mine will be. like i posted before I am gonna go with more like the allpro black betty exo cage . I just want to figure out how to add some support along the sides/ doors in the event that the truck ends up going sideways into a tree or something. and I'm a double cab. Hopefully start building it around the new years time. and it won't be ideal, but i can't have my truck down for that long, and it'll keep me and passengers safer in the event of a roll than without it. So far got the rear bar done so I could mount the chase lights my gf got me for my bday. Its a start....lol....

 

wow i can't type or post coherent content right now.....full time job, full time school, hit the bottle a little too hard on a friday to get some hw done so i can enjoy the weekend lol

 

Daaaamnnnn

 

Has it been two weeks yet? Need moar pics

 

Sorry dude, been at work.... Got home yesterday, drove my truck maybe 5 miles and the throwout bearing finally decided enough was enough and disintegrated( been squealing for two months now lol), good thing I'm prepared, transmission is out, flywheel gettin resurfaced, urd stage 3 clutch and urd throwout bearing goin in along with some Doug thorley long tube headers ))

 

Nice man!

.. but i dont see a turbo manifold

 

Don't need it....yet. I am putting a nine inch axle in the rear and gearing it to 4.88's and gunna run 35's tho soon

 

The 9" is just for the added strength?

 

Yea, my elocker wiring broke, pretty sure a wheel bearing is maybe startin to go....might as well put a full built axle in it now that way I don't have to worry about it

 

Why resurface the flywheel and not go with the heavy or light one from URD?

 

Well, I can resurface it myself( I just did it) soo it's free lol. And I couldn't make up my mind on which way to go, lighter or heavier, so stock weight is in the middle.... And again FREE lol I'm broke from buying stuff for this gnarly axle build nonsense haha

 

Haha yeah free is always good! Just depends if you wanted better acceleration or better offroad lugging I guess. I like the light weigjt flywheel for sure, it definitely feels alot quicker with it, but it stalls pretty easily and takes a bit more finesse offroad, all in all I'd still go with the light weight

 

My buddy just finished my third member for the new axle... Ford 9", 4.88's Yukon grizzly locker, arp ring bolts, solid pinion spacer, polished gear faces, 35 spline axles, billet 1350 yoke.......

 

That an automatic locker?

 

yep....locks up when u step on the gas!!!!

 

Should make for some fun!

Spools are fun also

 

yea I almost went with a spool, but since I still street drive the truck, this is it. had a Detroit in my old truck years ago, they work great! they lock up immediately and are pretty dang bulletproof

 

Started paneling the roof parts so I can put some dome and map lights back in, that compass temp doohicky too
