Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

The rear is their "crate" it comes with everything from rotor to rotor sans shafts and a 3rd. The front was just a bare housing, no knuckles or C's, most of that stuff came from SOLID and ecgs.

 

Part of the problem is that many people play the "good understanding customer" card for too long. Been there done that myself. all that does is enable companies that have poor business practices.

And I learned another important lesson: never pay in full unless the parts are ready to ship when u make the payment! If the finished product is not ready, a deposit it's the way to go.

 

I have gotten lucky so far with vendors. Marlin screwed up an order and didnt ship a bearing overnight when i needed it, but made it right and waived my shipping fee, and they bumped me to the front of the line for a new trans last year when i desperately needed one despite a 30 day backlog on them. All pros the only one that really fucked around with me when i was trying to get a refund from them after cancelling an order, i ended up having to dispute the charge with amex (they kick ass btw).

Shit highangle driveline talked me out of spending 600 bucks with them, i go out of my way to talk them up and buy u joints from them. Thats dedication to the sport and not just money grubbing...

I have even gotten lucky with buying stuff from private sellers online for the past 16yrs, i only got fucked once and i eventually got my parts, just 3 months late.

 

High angle kicks ass, really happy with my drivelines! ORI and DSM were also great companies!

 

Yup im probibly going to get mine overhauled by them over the winter.

 

I have a very similar story

 

Truck just needed a nap...



Turned it back over and wheeled the hell out of it the rest of the day with a spun rod bearing

 

Were u guys able to start her right up without any issues?

Bet a roll cage will be next

 

Wheres thos stair steps at conner? Where did he roll it?

 

It was not happy about it. We didn't bother draining the oil from the cylinders since it had a spun rod bearing anyway.

It was back in the mission impossible area in front of Troy's house. Right before the V-notch where you can see all the wheel marks in the wall

 

so basically you don't give a fuck about the motor or body of that thing?

 

Negatory ghostrider. The axles t-cases, and tired are going in a clean first gen 4Runner so this was the second gen's swan song on the way out. It was cheap thrills till the 3.0 gave out

 

Finally got a good pic of this thing. Got a ways to go but it rolls and climbs. This taco lean is horrible.

 

Good God. That is fucking gorgeous.

 

thanks bud. it's come a long way but not done yet.

 

Successful shakedown run!

 

Literally just followed you on Instagram. Truck looks good man

 

When I saw you at the yotamafia meet a few weekends ago. I had to go look at your truck...I meant to ask you there but got distracted, is the whole buddy bedlined? Looked awesome

 

yeah man sure is. It's called monstaliner. UV protectant and now I dont have to worry about pinstripes.

 

I spot the ginger!

Glad you made it goeff! Stay safe!
