Fire's Toy

oh come on now, Jealousy is a stinky cologne!

 

So a little update of the carnage from Harlan....

The most obvious was that I destroyed the flange and H yoke on the rear driveshaft...







What I didn't find until today was that I also bent the output shaft on the t-case as well. So now I'm preparing to pull the case out and tear it down.... Weee what fun.

 

Let me know how that goes. My T-case makes a ping when I shift into reverse, and I have traced it to something attached to the front driveshaft.

I suspect it's the front output shaft on the t-case. It feels like slop in the gear being taken up when I reproduce it by rotating the shaft by hand.

Would really prefer not to tear down the t-case and it doesn't seem to be causing any problems right now. Probably just gonna ride it til the bearing shits.

 

Rear bumper looks great man, I like the plate and tube together.

 

is there ever going to be a front bumper made or am i waiting for nothing . Your shit looks amazing and would love to see something for the 1st gen tho

 

I'd like to see a rear high clearance 1st gen bumper w/hitch

 

Thanks guys! The rear bumper did turn out well, although I'm still not totally done with it either.

As for the front, the plate version is half way finished on the front of my truck right now but I am swamped with bumper builds so it will have to wait a few weeks.


As of right now I'm not sure if or when we will get to any 1st gen stuff, the market for those is just so flooded with manufacturers already and I stay swamped with all the 2nd gen stuff. I've also started working on stuff for 4th gen 4Runners. My hope would be that once I get into a larger shop and have acouple guys welding for me then maybe we can branch out to even more vehicles.

 

WOOOOHOOOOO!!! Finally some sort of update to my truck!

 

Daaaamn! Nice bumper Kevin. Sign me up, I want one... Any more pics to share?

 

Woah! Looks great man!

 

Thanks! It's been raining out so can't take out the normal camera. I'l get better pics tomorrow that show everything. This is just the first "prototype" version so there will be more additions and options to the full production model.

 

Thanks! And it's built like a tank.....

 

rain phss...I know you gots a sled

 

Nice!

 

Looks good Kevin. Did you get the pics?

 

Definitely not a light one...

 

Thanks! Sure did, took a brief look at them but haven't had time to really go through them yet. Thanks though!!

 

where did you find the A-pillar with pod mounts?

 

Lotek.... It can only be used up to 07's though because after that they have the air bag in the A pillar.

 

awesome, luckily mines 05. thanks for the tip!
