San Diego BS Thread.

Whole truck. Got a few quotes when I 1st changed gears. One from Yotamasters for $1025.

 

Yes sir I do! And Im not that brave really, just have further limits than most!

Depends on the vehicle, on a Chevy for instance the 3rd cannot be removed and the setup needs to be done on the axle itself or pulled and put on a bench to work on. Im doing a locker on a new 4Runner with the clamshell design, talk about a pain in the ass! You need to split the entire axle assembly, and you cant even check backlash until its assembled...it might take a while, lol.

 

Was it a friend and how long ago was this? Thats mighty cheap.

 

Not sure what your question is? Did you mean torque?

torque to 70 ftlbs if using 'ARP moly assembly lubricant'
torque to 85 ftlbs with 30wt motor oil

Edit, you meant what kind of gasket I think?
I use an MLS type head gasket from Cometic.

 

Thanks. I'll pm you to clear up my vagueness and possible head work needed. I have to pop my head off. I have low compression and bad leak down on my cyl #2

 

correct, just talking toyotas with 3rd members.

at least 7 years ago, and just a normal 4x4 shop.

 

So I need both flared fenders and sliders which should I do first they will both be about the same amount?

 

Get the fenders.

 

X2 on fenders

 

Fenders X3

You wont be going much places that need sliders since your 2x4

 

I like to challenge my truck and already have a dent in the bottom of the body from a damn rock I bottomed out on

 

I would say sliders if you have already hit your body, or fenders if your tires wont fit without them...
If you need welding let me know if I can help, I have welded over 30 sets of sliders on Tacomas, I work as a fabricator/welder/tech from my home shop, and can do TIG, MIG, Tube bending and any mechanical work and also electrical.

 

My tires fit fine my fenders I have are already trimmed them to make them fit and it doesn't look terrible but sliders offer protection I have a guy custom makING a set for me when I pull the trigger thank you though I've seen a lot of people using you for stuff on their tacomas you do good work. This is going to be the last mod I do on the truck for a while so I'm trying to figure which mod would be best for the truck until I get the money for more stuff but expecting a baby in november

 

If you're still not rocking a front bumper, I'd do that.
Then sliders with bolt on steps to help your short prego gf get in your truck.
I'd say wait on the fenders if your going to keep them white without color matching like @iseeredandyellow

 

Paint is going on as soon as I have some time on shore!

 

Bumper is getting done one of these weekends I have time to build it and weld it together already have the supplies and she's only gunna be prego for 2 more months that's why this is the last mod I'm doing for a while and I would paint them before they ever touched the truck if I got the fenders

 

I've got a set of SOS concepts DCLB weld on sliders that have never been mounted that I'll sell to you for real cheap. I got them when I purchased my truck, but don't plan on running them and they are taking up too much space in my garage (at least that's what my girl keeps telling me).

 

I may take those off your hand. What is REAL cheap?

 

Scratch that. I'm shortbed. I got excited and didn't read

 

I picked them up already
