Speaking of the man himself

 

i only have old man emu nitrochargers the fun wasn’t even worth it.

Doesnt sound like plating is an option so ill have to figure it out....

 

What size tires do you have?

 

285/75r17 ko2s, like 33.5” loaded

 

My guess is your tires are smashing the wheel wells when the truck bottoms out and that is what’s tearing up the core support.

When I just did my truck and cycled the suspension without springs on the suspension is limited by the tire hitting the wheel well. Take the shock off and bottom the truck out, you will see what I’m talking about.

With that size tire you need to limit the up travel or cut the wheel wells out

 

70 on a dirt road? Jesus man

 

With a ome setup

 

its not the truck that makes the man.

just think of what i could do if i hade long travel, or heaven forbid someone have me a trophy truck

 

All kidding aside, i am not and will not use this as a spot to bitch and say ‘f toyota’

i look at shit like this, get bummed and figure out how to make it better.

i do genuinely appreciate all of the input

 

Do that shit with a dirt limo (dclb) and you will put the bed through the back of the cab.

 

Some of us have done some stupid shit and broke our trucks or seriously injured them for the long haul... but we man up fix it, make it better and wheel on.

 

I just worry about the dumb fucks around the bend. You're brave man haha.

 

i have obviously fucked the front end, shattered my rear window on fins and things when my cap slid into the cab (why its gone now) and many more other things, but oddly enough not a scratch on the body.

i have accepted the fact one day this truck will be boxed, caged, charged and god only know what else

 

me too, i only do it with a good line of sight or ill send a buddy to spot the road for me

 

I learned about 35 years ago lol. Same problems lol.

 

Meh.... some of us are late bloomers.

I remember the first time i took my 1994 4Runner (in 1994) down ten miles of washboard at 50-60 mph. It was fun. Four shocks and some bushings later...
