jdkeller's 2008 Prerunner Build

Al quida ftw! Lol

I got some camburg ones. So excited. And I will never let you around a jack ever again!

 

Did the Forest Service ever track you down!!!

 

Nice! Wish they made spindles for 5-luggers...

I lol'd at jack comment. I remember that day.

Btw, truck is looking really nice, Jon. I love how those fenders look with your grille.

 

Consider youself lucky. If they did, you would soon find out why they dont!

btw Mr Stupid Hurts, Your trucks colors work well! Nice

 

The grill is only until I buy a silver one! I kind of hate it. Lol.

 

Hmm, can you explain into further detail? I've always wondered why. I'm not going to lie, I don't have very much knowledge with suspension components.

Btw, thanks for the compliments, Paul.

It looks good with the fenders though. I was going to say though because I thought you had eyelids that you were going to colormatch. Didn't think they would look to good next to a bedlinered grille, haha.

 

The suspension is different. The 2wd has a lighter weight design - check it out next time you see a PreRunner or 4wd. ... and that's just the beginning. Then there is the rear spring under vs. spring over.

Next time you see one of these beautiful preRunners. Stop and compare.

Or look here...

 

Thanks for the info, Paul. I knew that the suspension was different from the PreRunner's suspension back when I first compared the top mount of the TRD Bilsteins to the stock 5-lug mounting point. Therefore, the lighter design on the 5-luggers makes it weaker compared to the PreRunners? Weak enough so that you can't run spindles?

Btw, sorry for the thread-jacking, Jon. I'm just eager to find out why and if it is at all possible to make spindles for the 5-lugger.

 

I wouldn't unless you do a real 6 lug conversion with new coil bucket or equivilent by reinforcing coil buckets, etc...

Maybe these too...


I would suggest keep what you have. Enjoy it. Find things to do with it that are fun. Save your money. Invest it and someday when your have more money than you need, get something like Aaron's ride! By then, he'll have a trophy truck and will give you a good deal on it!

 

I've only read nothing but positive stuff on here about spindles and thought it would be nice if they made them for 5-luggers. Just something I've always had in the back of my mind, but never bothered to ask about. Since the SAW and TC UCA install, I've been itching to go off-roading more and more. It's come a long ways from stock, but I definitely love my truck and enjoy driving it everyday whether it's on-road or off-road. Just went camping this past weekend up in Buckhorn in Angeles National Forest with some friends (my buddy has a 1st gen) and took the truck on the some trails for the first time since the new suspension. I also love it when people double-take when they see my 5-lugger at meets, haha.

From the way it's looking right now, Aaron's truck will probably become a trophy truck, haha.

 

Dude I'm still trippin... Haha u really had me going... U coulda kept me going and I'll probably would have called the Kern county court house and made a court date haha... I give u props Paul lol

 

Care to share?

 

I'll tell you when I see you - don't want to go to jail right now!!!

 

You should go to jail for using soo many smiley faces.

 

Pics with the new spindles?

 

I have a few pictures right now. Today I'm going to lower the one side and hopefully get an alignment. Then I will have even more!
: )

 

What's this crap! Are you trying to boycott these things?...

 

I use the TW skin for my phone so I don't see them. But it's nice to be different.
