LOTSOFTOYS PANDA BUILD

hi Ericlnayball:
how come u dont have a build thread? u would surpass my replys in like an hour

 

Mystery keeps them guessing.



















It has nothing to do with me being lazy. Nice truck by the way.

 

so got my ucas on yesterday! man what a bitch... the upper ball joints gave me a rough time.... after heat and a puller it finally let loose. got the camburgs on without a problem. went to align it and found i need a new rack, again! it'll be covered under warranty but still aggravates me. but here's the finished product! never had so much caster

 

awesome pic that Eric's wife took this weekend while wheelin Swan River! The gf was even drivin here down the steep hill!

 

Hey... you don't happen to work at groove do you? I think i've seen your truck gettin parts.. There's someone there with a sick sas..

 

so how much more droop/flex did just the longer shackles give you?

 

nah man i work at stevinson west

a shit ton..... stock shackles are i think 3 inches ong. the ome shackles were 4.5 and now i went 6in with the tg shackles. rule of thumb with shackles is u get half as much the gain of shackle length in lift. so i went up 1.5 inches. that got me .75 in of lift.... but droop is all differnt. it was insane. check out my pictures when i was flexing on the lift at work. i hadno,shocks on, measuring for new ones. so now i am positive that my shocks dont limit flex nor droop

. do it man. i love the 882s. can hndle all the wait of bumper, winch and skids and still provide lift and good ride. and no it still rides great without weight up front. i did however add the top spacer when i added the bb's.......

 

i had the standard ones before but when i recently put on my new ones, i got then from a local shop here and they only could get the sports? looks the same tho other than the black cover thing. i think ome just upgraded their shocks and dont offer the originals anymore not sure tho. either way I like them

 

nope didnt wear out at all. actually i sold them for some good money. i just wanted to freshen it up. those had been on for like 6 years.... and i get them at a good price so why not

 

k, I think longer shackles are going to be my next mod. so my rear lift will only go up another .75 inches if I get the same shackles you did, and ill get a shit ton more flex? Sold.

I can't find them on the TG site. do you have link?

 

no..you'll get 1.5'' more lift at least.

More droop tho by a ton.

 

are we having a shackle discussion here or the nw thread? pick one thread to bs in

 

haha my bad..

To the BS thread!!! Up up and away!!!

 

to the NW thread!

 

truck needs to get out wheeling next month...

 

yes and it will u let me know when and where! shes been playin grocery getter lately. does it with style but would rather be wheelin:-D

 

well the time has come..... i need to tow a trailer this winter.... planning on reinforcing the tg rear bumper with a 1.5 x 1.5 square behind the reciever to add strength. just a being a little safer cuz tg doesnt condone towing with their bumper. also wanna figure out a spot for chains to attach. and gotta get my wiring all squared away. wanna tow my new sled and the brothers this riding season. wont be fast but it will do better in the snow than my dads tahoe....

getting the metal next week. pics to follow

 

Hey at least my money is going to a good cause.

 

lol.... yes sir. i need to get it ready to tow asap. gonna be sleddin alot this year

 

Sweet truck!
