Dayman's Karate Class (but you won't learn nothin’) the SAS’ed Taco was SAS’ed with a bouncer

Keeping track of the money trail. More to come

Currently the current that’s now:
Sold the taco and bought a rock bouncer

Currently Current:
one tons, full hydro, 42’s four link front and rear

Current:
back half and dual triangulated four link. I will likely do a thorough write up of everything I did once I finish. Edit: I finished but am too unmotivated to type a write up yet.






Kind of stockish? I've had this truck since it was new in 2009. I can't find any pictures of it new, but we all know what that looks like anyways.

Adding more to the bed-

 

Interested to see how this works out for you. A common theme is most people just back half it to make life simpler but I am intrigued to see how it goes sticking with the OEM frame rails.

 

sub'd

 

This thread needs updating.....

 

I back halved it haha much much easier.

 

I’ve got a feeling this is going to take a while and be a quiet place

 

We do get banned often..............so, it might be

 

Haha this is true. If I get tired of typing we can turn it into a dumpster fire and jump ship

 

Haha, ok well that solves that haha.

 

I regret saying much much easier. Maybe much much necessary is more accurate? haha

 

Haha when needs must.

 

Are you planning on putting a cage in as well?

 

Not for what we wheel on here. If I was going fast or more concerned about rollovers it’d be worth looking into. Bouncer or a truggy with an exo cage would probably be a better fit at that point.

 

Fair enough. Keep things simple and just link the truck instead.

 

yeah something like that haha. I like to build so it’s been fun to learn something new. Definitely overkill for the platform, but fun to tinker.

 

Haha yea for sure. Best way to really understand it all is to commit to chopping off half the frame and making it all work again nicely. Kudos for getting it done. I wonder if you can 4 link and keep the bed...
