ETxTacoma's Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Build and BS Thread

No, got home last night and washed the truck and then had errands to do, going to check it today though when I can.

 

Is the camper long gone? Can you take the rails off of it if you still have it?

 

Camper is still in the back yard, am going to post it for sale soon though, I could possibly take the rails off, just not sure if I would have a way to plug the holes if someone wanted to take it off my hands.

Why, you want to buy them?

 

I thought it was a loss, yeah prob if someone wants it they might want the rails.

 

It is a loss for me as I am not going to try and fix it.

PM me an offer on the rails and we can go from there, not sure how much they would be worth honestly.

I haven't had the time to even get pictures and post it up up.

 

@hoarder23

Just ordered a set of Archive Garage Hammer Hangers... you're welcome.

 

I'm about to

 

I thought you already had Shackle Flip?

Hopefully they will get here by the 20/21 and will get install that weekend, if not, will be done the weekend before Jambo.

Which shackles you going to run?

I will prob add a cross tube later down the road and have someone weld me up one.

 

I do but it's too tall. Going to the hammer hangars will drop the rear without sacrificing travel

 

Ah, makes sense, hopefully the hammer hangers don't lift the rear up too too much on my setup to where it has a weird rake.

Should sell the Shackle Flip to @Zac of all trades to go with that Elocker Long bed of his....

 

Put the truck on a 4 post lift today after work at a friends shop since he wasn’t busy.

May run into some issues with the brake lines, diff breather line, locker line, etc.... going to have to fix all that pretty soon.

Breather and Air Locker can be fixed easily with redoing the zip ties... brake lines.... ehhhhh may have to get longer ones.






@hoarder23 got the shocks to 10” though.

 

SPC UCAs arrived last night.

Going to get these along with a pair of extended front brake lines installed tomorrow and then get an alignment done on Monday.

 

Hey i have a set of those! Havent had any problems yet.

 

@ETXTacoma what is your mpg with those 295s? Did you notice a big weight difference from the 265 ko2s?

 

He's got big boy gears, do that before you get big boy tires

 

I just know that I get about 250 miles to the tank... I don't want to really know my actual MPGs to be honest. But I do city driving and to and from work is like 5 minutes one way.

Yea, the gears are a must.

You get actual throttle response back and it no longer feels sluggish.

Sup...

Got one side done. Now working on a trying to make a little fender liner for the front of the fender well...

 

Got a pretty good amount done this weekend. Still a lot left though for Jambo, but slowly getting stuff checked off the list.

SPC UCAs are installed, Drivers side was a pretty quick install, Passenger side was a different story, but luckily @hoarder23 and @Zac of all trades were able to provide some guidance for that. Going to get an alignment today once the shop opens.



While I had the front tires off, checked the front diff and CVs and all looks good, no leaks or anything out of the ordinary that I can tell, so that looks good @trekker

Then went ahead and bent over the rest of the pinch weld in the fender well that was left over from removing the fender liners.

After doing that, I decided to make a template and build some rubber guards to go inside of the fenders behind the headlights to help keep mud and water from constantly being thrown at them and always getting trapped between them and the front fender. I need to make a few adjustments to the guards, but now that I have the template made, I just need to get more of the rubber to build some more.

Drivers side was easy to install, passenger side was weird as I have the snorkel so I could not get the drill in there to drill the top hole the bolt, so I had to use the dremel with a drill bit to drill the hole, still worked, but was a little weird, and a little sketchy. Will have to see how these hold up and planning on making some more for the rear fenders somehow using the same type of rubber once I source some more.



Then on Sunday I had a BBQ at a friends house so not much accomplished, but after that was over, I went ahead and swapped the spacers I got from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc onto the Superbump Stops to add some more height onto the bump stops so the new Icon shocks don't bottom out. Pretty quick swap, just had to remove the bumpstops from the Ubolt flip and then ubolt them.



While I was under the rear of the truck, I went ahead and did some adjustments to the lines at the rear of the truck since I will be adding the Archive Garage Hammer Hangers soon and a few of the lines did not have enough slack in them. Redid some of the zipties and now they should all be good for when I add another 1"-1.5" of droop to the rear of the truck.

Once the Hammer Hangers are on the truck, I will be going back to my friend with the lift and putting the truck on the lift to fully droop the truck to make sure everything is good before Jambo.

Still need to do some small things like add two more Rock lights, fix slider and skid paint, tune my CB, do an Oil change, and change cabin air filter, but other than the Hammer Hangers, all the bigger projects are pretty much done for Jambo.

 

Final major piece to the Jambo prep puzzle arrived today, Archive Garage Hammer Hangers... hoping to get these installed this coming weekend so that the weekend after it is just little things and final packing/prep.
