Long Travel, 40s, 4 link, and caged

I agree haha. I've always had bronze but wanted to try out the raw look

 

What's the model number?

 

Eh, hard to pass up at $125! And I know we do different kinds of trails, but my rear (8") held up to my 40's without any issues, though on the flip side a friend with a 3rd Gen also on 40's has been through multiple 8.75" diffs. So who knows?!?

 

Method 701

 

Exactly my thoughts. Hopefully the 8.4 with 5.29s holds up for a bit

 

40s are big

 

Once you put the 40s on I think you should change your name back to "soontobeon35s"

 

That's a good question haha. I was thinking of changing it to soontobeon42s

 

Can't wait to see it all finished

 

Made some more progress in the last couple weeks.

Engine cage is completely welded, minus all the supports for fenders, headlights, grille and hood.



Got my new 3rd member regeared with Nitro 5.29

I also picked a new Toyota 8.4 axle tonight.

Specs:

Front range full float
Front range chromoly axle shafts
Custom truss
Disc brake swap

I’m going to throw my new regeared 3rd member into the new trussed axle I bought

 

Here are some more pics of the engine cage

 

Successful weekend. Striped more of the truck apart, tore my new axle apart, getting it ready for the new 3rd member.

I decided to 4 link this truck, picking up some 52 inch trailing arms Tuesday. Going for a triangulated 4 link with a mix of Ruffstuff brackets, upper links, and custom tig welded trailing arms.

Not sure on the travel number goals yet, but hopefully it’ll pull more than the DMZ kit.

 

54 inch trailing arms have been secured
