2005 Bulletproof Taco: 1 Ton SAC

It looks like they picked only those running KM2's... lol

 

I didn't even notice, lol. Maybe BFG for a big name sponsor this year?...that would rock!

Also finished rebuilding my blown 7100 from when I broke my leafspring a while back. Getting that charged tonight and hopefully back on the truck. One less thing on the list!

 

just link the rear, all the cool kids are doing it

 

that is sexy vehicle. That is a scout correct??? I want one so bad, but parts sux trying to find.

 

No major changes while waiting and possibly going on the UA

Yup its a scout!

 

Picked up the tooobing for your traction bar today. I'll likely be able to come down this weekend.

 

Great! I will give you a buzz tonight to discuss this weekend, plans may be changing...

 

See you tomorrow

Gonna knock out a lot of little stuff this weekend, things that need to get done. Reconfigure the bed arrangement, CO2 mount, ammocans, spare tire placement, jerry can holders. Adjust preload on coilovers to eliminate the lean, add 2"x2" LED pod for reverse light, and add 6" LED bar for a dust light.

 

and a partridge in a pear tree...

 

Can't remember what you're running in the rear but how does that spartan up front handle down muddy roads and snow slush covered dirt roads?

 

That's the "short" list too

Well considering the hubs are usually unlocked it handles fine. And when I have them locked and am in 4wd it handles just fine in those conditions, can't really tell its there.

 

Cool. Never saw it mentioned, what joints you running with your chromos? Also, Yukon hubs? Any concerns with wiping out a stub shaft if a lockout grenades? Thanks Mark.

 

I am just running the spicer non-greasable joints for now, no monies for the high dollar ones.

No concerns at all, since no one has broken a Yukon hardcore locking hub yet. Basically they are similar to the old spicer design but built will all chromo internals

 

Bad ass. I don't really like the superjoints etc... having to grease them everyday seems pretty tiring. Then again I'm worried about blowing up a spicer non greasable and wiping out an expensive shaft. At least the hubs are good to go!

 

Shafts have a lifetime warranty from Yukon as well. And you don't have to grease the u-joints everyday since they aren't turning unless your in 4wd. A shot of grease every so often I am sure is more than enough for infrequent 4wd use.

I may be able to borrow some Yukon superjoints for the UA though from a friend

 

So...anyone want a deal on some very slightly (<5k miles) 37" KM2's? 3 trips on them, with discount tire replacement cert. Fastenal ships really cheap too.

 

What are you going with instead?

 

I would be all over this if I could fit them! Front LT is still a few years out for me though... And I don't want to cut the ever living fuck out of my rig to fit them on right now. haha
