Build that lacks building

Yep, well at least 3 of them have come in so far. I'm expecting the other 2, my rims and a couple other goodies to be here by Friday.

 

Before we get to crazy let me put my hands on them. The last time I handled them was during my move a few months ago.

 

Sounds good man, just keep me posted

Sorry to clutter your build thread with the BS Matt

Hopefully this is a bs freindly build.. otherwise ive been making a mess of it all morning

 

Hey no worries on the clutter just glad there’s some traffic on it lol. You know all about Bsing what I do best.

 

Hey brother.. could I ask a favor of you whenever you get a chance in the next day or two (or whenever, its really no rush)?

I would like to get a measurement from front to back and side to side between where the middle pair of bolts and the rear pair of bolts of your SOS IFS skid bolts up.. I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these since they gave me a 10% off code, and I am going to compare the measurements you have with where that would line up on my sport, and then on my prerunner.. I know that the front pair and the middle pair will line up nicely, but its the back pair that I am worried about.. Also I was curious if they provide hardware for the back pair of bolts, or do you just reuse the factory bolts for this..

Here's a pic of the two sets I would like measured in between..



any info and help would be greatly appreciated man! I'll gladly buy you a six pack of some shiners for your troubles!

 

Your a good dude I’ll take ya up on that..ya for sure I’ll do it tomorrow evening when I get home, I would tonight but have a softball tournament.

 

I appreciate it man!!

Do you prefer bottles or cans?

 

Don’t matter I’m not picky..

 

I went out this evening and did some measuring on my trucks and it looks like everything is going to work just fine! It appears that everything is the same except for the location of the trans crossmember, so i dont think i need you to check on yours after all. Thanks though brother!

 

Haha ok well ill still crawl under there an compare notes with ya. It's a great skidplate an the little bolts for the back didn't come with it. I used my stock skidplate bolts for it.

 

Thanks buddy!

Im guessing from the looks of it, the rear bolts were the black 12mm ones that hold the stock skid pan on, and then the front two and middle two are the 17mm bolts that hold on the brackets for the stock skid on?

 

Absolutely right ..good eye

 

Lucky guess

 

did you do the ECGS solid needle bearing when lifting your truck?

 

No sir have not had to but that’s a good idear.

 

Had any weird vibes?

 

Just after chipotle is all my truck has been silky smooth as it sits not lifted very high.

 

It’s all gonna change though swapping for 886 coils on Saturday an gonna get some dakars an 33s once these wear out. This route is cheaper by far than upgrading the icons an better for my use.

 

Curious what the ride will be like with the 886s.. I'm sure itll be good with all the weight you have on that tank..
