Project apocalypto

Hmm... wondering if this truck really exists (-;

 

You can come help me put new U-joints in it tomorrow if you want.

 

Dang I gotta work.... How unfortunate is that
Actually I would be glad to lend a hand if I wasn't working. Ill be on vacation for a couple weeks after monday if you still need a hand.

 

hahaha, this is one of the funniest/coolest build threads on TW

 

do you have anymore info on the ammo can? i just put a snorkel on my truck i have a cold air intake on it already and i'm trying to create my own box. thanks man.

 

Nice to meet you Logan! Thanks again for the diff's and the sweet action packers. Can't wait to see some pictures of that nice new hunk of metal installed on your rig. Hope you guys made it back to Oregon in one piece.

 

It was good meeting you too man, wish we had more time to hit some trails. What was the name of that Canyon just down the road again? You were right, that place was amazing. Had a hoot in Moab too, it was worth the detour. Over 3000 miles in 9 days... it's hard to even remember everywhere we went, lol.

Just installed ARP wheel studs and working on getting the SUA mounts squared away. Should be wheelin' again in a couple weeks!

 

I would go take some more pics, but it really won't help you much as mine is open and is just a splash guard really. I also don't have any inner fenders and have an engine cage... but You could get a fat .50 can, knock a hole in one end for the CAI and another hole for the snorkel if it will all fit. You could also just build a sealed box out of sheetmetal too-

 

oh damn

 

Diamond 9" ?

 

9.5". Good people at diamond axle for sure.

 

Thanks for the info bro.

 

This things mean.

As always,

 

what were the specs on your trailworthy fab beadlocks, looking at getting a set myself and some interco 36's or 37's, also how do the military take off do in the elements and flex while aired down to say 10 ish psi?

 

They are 12 bolt with a half rock ring. Had to run a 1/2" spacer up front to clear the calipers though. The BFG Baja's are a fantastic tire. They flex well, but not as well as a swamper. They are built off of the race tire carcass. I've also tried the goodyears, and those things do not flex at all and the tread compound is so hard they don't grip for shit.

Making some progress on the axle swap.

 

Did you get pressed centers or flat centers?

 

Pressed centers

 

Damn was hoping to do it without spacers. Looks like im going a different route. Thanks for the info.

 

Yup. I noticed on my rear axle running 04 Tacoma calipers they clear fine without a spacer. They look like the same bolt spacing as 05+, but I can't confirm. (at work) I bet a guy could swap 04 calipers on there and not have to use spacers.

 

Aren't the 04 calipers smaller though?
