northwesttaco's SOLD LT Build w/ 35's and BS

He can't post the price. So the company mainly does commercial outfits like fishing boats, mining/construction/heavy industrial equipment you need to go to a distributer to get the price. How ever they are just getting into expedition style and outfitting trucks. Or I can send you straight to the wholesaler who will give you the same price but skip the middle man.

 

Nah never doing a shackle flip. Once I replace my shackles to non-bent OEM ones and new bushings ill gain another inch which is then within 1/2" of maxing out my shock.

 

You can buy a set through @utroda

 

Haha do it! What 35's did you get? I plan on making the meet at TSF this year in June assuming it doesn't conflict with my finals schedule.

 

Thanks dude! I have debated on moving to florida in the future just because of the weather but then I couldn't wheel soooo not sure if that'll end up happening. But hopefully you get your truck before then! And yeah I am one of the few that don't protest haha

 

Maybe if he didn't just say that's his next mod after Moab... lol. Going to order some plates this week and have the bed off the truck in that time too.

 

Last I heard he got 2 sets on "accident"

 

Bri did you remove the frame cross members? I'm trying to get a visual on one piece vs your standard steel to box out the frame. I'm also assuming the new cross members are replacing the area that used to store the factory spare... Im I on the right track?

 

Hey @utroda

 

Not sure how he is doing it, but to do a one piece you'd remove that cross member that holds the spare, so yes. That's my plan, probably 1.25" DOM tube

 

Got it thanks. Been curious about the welds and such. Spacing? Assuming same areas where the existing cross member is welded on now is where You would put the 1.25" DOM ...

 

Same as what he is doing

 

@Tretiak30 sweet rig btw

 

Yes, but welds depends on which plate you get. If non-windowed, you'd want to do a continuous weld along the entire thing but if windowed, only the parts that meet the frame, obviously and I'm putting my cross member where the stock one was and two extra in the very back and very front

 

If you are going back to OEM shackles then instead of a rear cross member I am putting one between the 2 shackle hangers so they don't bend anymore coming off a ledge. Ill see if I can find the pics to how I plan on doing it

 

Yup, that's my plan but I am going to do each one separate and meet together on the frame cross member, I don't want a tube hanging low causing a potential catch point on a rock or something

Like what @sytfu510 did

 

Yup thats basically what I was thinking. This is the one I meant, doesn't hang down https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ery-getter-build.342010/page-59#post-12922920

 

I like that a lot. That might be a nice option and will save me some extra time.

 

Yup. Then just placing the rear cross member so that it can bolt to the top of that.

 

I'm getting Mastercraft MXT 315/70/17's, I already have Bronze Ray 10's. Right on man, I'll be there again this year most likely!
