Lord Humongous Gigahorse Tow-coma Build

Dude bro dude I'm can't wait to drive it after 4.88s! Between a few days out of town and a 48hr shift it'll be time to pick it up!

 

It really makes such a difference in drivability. Gonna make towing your trailer a whole lot more enjoyable.

 

I honestly can't wait to see how it tows.! The truck does surprisingly good with a single axle 3k trailer but have several thousand miles of towing planned in about 30 days and should be even better!

 

I just picked up my truck from AZ differential specialist with a fresh set of Nitro 4.88s and full nitro install kits. Admittedly I was mildly worried about 4.88 gears and 265 75r16 but not no mo!! I just took it easy on the way home following break in guidelines and here are some initial observations. The truck cruises a comfortable 2k RPM at 65 in 6th. It's about 3100 at 60 in 4th. With the smaller tires 1st gear reminds me if the old manual transmissions with a granny gear(my truck is auto). A ton of torque but almost unnecessary for unloaded driving. I can't wait to get these broken in and do some towing! I can already tell it's gonna be allot more enjoyable!



No pics of the gears so just some nice truck pics

 

I toooollllddd you so!!

 

YUP!
I wanna drive it more but I decided to join you on the injury bench...murdered my driving calf and foot the other day and not supposed have any fun...

 

dooooodd!! WTF!! My hip/Kidney/ridiculous bruise is almost all better.. Stupid rids, well those are still broken and being stupid

 

Ribs suck and especially the little muscles between them that make hurt even more. My calf gave got destroyed pulling a sled at gym... I was there getting stronger so I dont get hurt when I'm not at the gym

 

oh the "iron"y

 

I've been doing cryo treatments and acupuncture like it's going out of style.. really speeding up recovery

 

I'm gonna have to do some cryo sculpting on my gut and titties if I can't get back in gym soon.... As of right now I'm doing anything I possibly can to not go on light duty so I'll ask the doc about that.

 

as long as you're cool freezing your nuts off for a short period of time, it works wonders.... Takes shrinkage to a whole new level though

 

Hmmmm I don't mind if destroys the soldiers but I need that fawking TEST!

 

Ordered this today.

Speedmaster PCE555.1003 4.4 Tons 8800lbs Triple Layer Inflatable Exhaust Air Jack

I've been meaning to pick up the ARB bush jack as a lighter and safer alternative to the ol farm jack before our big trip next month. Should work well with the camper too.

This is definatley on off brand so if it sucks I'll just send it back. If it's built nicely it's an absolute steal since its rated at twice the lifting capacity of the ARB, lifts 5"s higher and less than half the cost.

 

New deflator!

The ARB quick deflator died after about 10 uses so time to try something new. These require a small amount of setup and don't deflate as quick as the ARB but you can deflate all 4 tires at once so it pretty much evens out. Also these dont pull the stem which I'm always afraid I'm somehow going to loose....Not a bad kit for under $25

UTV with almost 5000 lbf torque. Yes 4 zeros after the 5! Let's get it together I'm looking at you Tacoma!

 

Got one of these chingaderas. As much as I break the first rule of offroading "never travel alone" I figure it'd be a good idea to have a jumper. I have no idea what makes an good jump box but this one seems well built and feels like much better quality than the one I was looking at over at the Costco the other day.

We have a 400A one in my wife's Accord. We have used it on her car and on a stranded Hyundai Santa Fe and the starting was instant. No need for cables

 

That's good to hear! Sometimes when we're by ourselves out on the reservation with no cell service I start thinking about how much suck it would be walking 40 miles out to the highway! Always good for plan B to not included survival skills lol

 

We went south of Flagstaff to scout some camp sites for this fall today. We were absolutely blown away by the view from "the end of the world" area. Easily accessible by the truck but bolth agreed its probably best to leave the camper at home and bring the tent when we come back....
I'm confident I could get to the Ol Jayco travel trailer back there but I kept thinking about this

I also experimented with the go-PRO mount (lol wtf) and may have some better 4k footage when I figure that out. These cell phone pics do not do this place justice. OUTSTANDING!!!!
