Max's wanna be overland build

Looks good man! Just keep loading her up with armor haha

 

No doubt.

Poor truck. Poor wallet.

Thanks!

 

Thanks Randy!

 

That T-Case skid looks like it could take a beating. So the cross-member is welded/part of the skid it looks like?!

 

Yep! looks like this




and the cross over drop is optional

 

Nice, glad to see you finally got a full set of skids

 

Well I want to make a list of future mods I'm wanting soon, to help keep track of shit.

top plate coil spacers

fix wheel bearings and seals
grease alignment cams

inner and outer tie rod spares
spare CV axle

driving lights for ARB
shock extenders
alignment cam tab reinforcement
e-locker motor skid
u-bolt flip kit
shackle flip kit and longer brake lines
alignment cam tab reinforcement
gas tank skid
different muffler
weld on diff armor

 

I'd love both and I know I really ought to jump on that cv but I was thinking of just getting a parts store axle until I actually blow one up.

That diff armor is some nice shit too and same price as all pros.

I need mo money!

 

you make that tcase skid? looks realll nice for an option to keep the cross over

 

Hah I was trying to say that BTFs looks like 2x more for your money.

 

That's a Relentless skid. I didn't really want to spend money to re-route the cross over.

 

Anyone know anything about Extra Auto bearings or should I spend a little more and pick up some other brand?


Ain't a huge deal to change these out but I hope to get more than 50k out of these next ones.

shipped and on their way. Parts to do wheel bearings, and a couple trail spares.


I also have 1 inner seal from Toyota so I can compare a new OEM to the National/Moog seal I ordered.

 

Cut out some 1/2" aluminum top plates yesterday.

1/2" with 886s and OME nitros netted me a full inch of lift. Whoops. CVs will suffer.

Heres pics from today.

 

Truck looks AWESOME Max. I gotta do the black flares and lights. I'm kinda thinking the Bushwacker pocket flares myself, but money may dictate that I bed-line what I got though!

 

Damn I love the look of our trucks with HC bumpers

 

Looks a lot better at the new height. How much lift total now?

 

Thanks dude. Save up

Thanks Max

Ehhh I went from 7" driver to 8" driver from UCA to fender. Not sure how much lift from stock.

Thanks for your help.








Also, if anyones curious. I kept stock studs and switched to new 10 x 1.25 nuts with 3/8 washers and have a thread poking out. Good enough!

 

I keep thinking about it and that one thread where I asked people to post their numbers I had 7" from top of BJ to fenderwell now it's 8" driver

7 1/4 and 8 3/16" passenger.

I just don't understand how it could have lifted a solid inch with a 1/2 top plate.
