Taco Tuesday!

 

Installed a secondary fan to go along with my 2 trans coolers.

 

So these are all for your transmission?

 

yep, that sucker gets hot with all the weight. In the winter time its fine with just the 2 coolers. But summer is a diffrent story. I try to keep the trans temp below 190 at all times if i can. It regulay stays below that riding around town and interstate. 150-180 range. On trails when the radiator not getting as much air flow i can see it spike over 200 which is not good for the life of the fluid. so hopefully that fan will bring it back down.

 

Heavy boy need more cooling

 

That it does!

 

Mounted some Molle for my ar and first aid.

 

Let there be light! Dude, I was just catching up with my favorite builds. Cheers!

 

Thanks man! Man that's a lot of light you got there!

 

Pic dump from Kentucky trip!

 

Also starter died and ended up replacing on trail

 

Forgot to post in here!




Changed out my wheel bearing. It was toast. Thanks crapy seals!

 

Took my other baby out on the water this weekend while down on the coast at my moms house.

 

W we r

 

sup fellas, took the truck out couple weekends ago lol. Anyways big changes coming to taco soon. Keep updated!

 

+2.25, +4 or some other flavor? I have a jd fab 2.25 kit im waiting to install myself.

 

Damn you got a a LT as well huh. Im trying the path less traveled lol. Depo racing 2inch kit (didn't want to go any wider due to the trails i go on.) The kit has been modified. Gusseted in key areas and all uniballs replaced with FK unis and bushing replaced with DK ones. Basically and allrpo ripoff kit. Got a good deal on everything so it was hard for me to pass up. Guy im buying from spent the extra $$$ and not me. Im actually getting it for cheaper than it already cost with all the upgrades. Brand new 8inch fox factory series shocks and +2 axle shafts. Im all in for less than what the JD base kit cost without anything else lol.

Im also adding coil bucket gussets to the fame as well.

 

I spoke with 3 or 4 guys that are running the base depo kit and have had nothing but good things to say. One guy even said he liked it better than his TC kit. Mines been upgraded. Not really worried about it but we will see what it can take once i get it on the truck and tested.

 

Yeah it was part of the long term plan and there was a group buy so I jumped on board.

That’s awesome, I am interested in hearing your feedback on how you like it once you get it installed. Are you planning on fiberglass fenders at any point or going to trim the stockers? Also which coil bucket gussets are you going with?
