Trigger the 4 Banger Now with T4R action!

So the billies and Ebachs had just sagged to much with the weight of plate bumper that I needed to make a change. Out with the old and in with new. Threw on some OME nitro chargers with 886 coils picked up used from another member. What a difference!! I could see where the other coils were bottoming out when I changed them out today. This will be a great solution until I upgrade my front suspension, and will help me in the coming weeks at Moab!!!

 

What are you doing with your old ebachs?
Do you think they are shot?

 

Not at all, only about 40k on them. Plenty of life left, just couldn't quite take all the weight without an extra spacer. They'll ride with me to rock therapy as s just in case when I start beating on the truck, than I'll sell them off.

 

Moab bound!!!

 

So Rock Therapy was an absolute blast, so glad I was able to get out this year! Ran Top of the World on Friday, and Hells Revenge Saturday. I'll post up a few more details about the trails once I'm able to go through my pictures, and get some pics from other people of my truck. Needless to to say awesomeness ensued! A few random shots off of my phone.

Camp at BFE. Great location, and great owners who allow us to stay there with so many trucks for this event.



TOTW



Hells Revenge







Once again the raffle was kind to Triggers suspension. The last remaining piece of my original lift that needed to be upgraded was taken care of Saturday night with these bad boys

These things are absolutely badass more information will follow on these as well as I get a chance to drive and wheel on them. A big thanks to the guys over at @ToyTec Lifts for their generosity in donating these and many other items for the raffle as well as helping sponsor the event! It was nice wheelin with you on TOTW as well.



So than I get home yesterday, unpack the truck, clean it up, get settled, than this happens last night...






I just couldn't wait and slapped these bad boys on. Install is pretty smooth of course just being a rear shock, and the included mounting hardware for the reservoir made it a breeze, really nice kit Toytec put together for this.

Again, such a great event. Meet so many awesome people and was good to see some familiar faces as well. Thanks to all of the sponsors as well as @Gramps @lotsoftoys @NYCO and their better halves in putting on this event, well done!!

 

I love that u got those shocks on already. That's badass lol

 

X2

 

Haha like a kid on Christmas Eve, just couldn't wait.

So far I can report that they perform extremely well on DIA commutes

 

Awesome Nick!

 

A few pics from TOTW on Friday. Glad to knock this trail off the list, awesome time with a great group. Thanks again for snapping all these pics Phil @PS78

 

Did you go to Cincinnati to train?

 

No, picked up the girls. They went to Florida while I was playing in the desert

 

Thank you, much appricieated.

 

The latest mod to the truck. A bit different than the rest. Installed a Britax Marathon car seat for Molly. This setup gives a lot of adjustability for her, and room for both of us. I pulled off the rear panel and removed the rear headrest, which in the access cab gained about 3-4 inches of space by allowing the car seat to shift back. Also exposes enough of the jumpseat to really secure the seat. This will give her plenty of legroom as she grows.

Good thing I'm only 5'3" . If any of you are looking to buy a taco and have or may have kids, get the double cab.

 

Added a well traveled bedrack to the truck the other day. It's nice to get the spare out from underneath the truck. Need to add some Rotopax and Maxtrax or Treds to the side now.

 

Trying to decide on my next truck mod. Was going to go new headunit/ navigation / backup cam / speakers, but with my recent purchasing of a new house and accompanying mods and move that go along with that I'm going with something a little less time consuming for the immediate future. So should I go with:

A - I have been running a T case "shield" for a while, need a full T case skid. Being a 4 banger no need for an exhaust reroute. So should I just go ahead and protect the rest of my vitals underneath the truck or;

B - the sides of the new to me tire rack are lookin pretty bare. Maxtrax or Treds and rotopax gas can or;

C - none of the above, fill in the blank ________ why don't you have this on your truck yet?!? Keep in mind around $300ish budget

D - Why are you to lazy to add a poll to this thread?

 

T case skid...hands down

 

Great build, fellow mgm access cabber here

 

That's the way I'm leaning. Don't want to skimp on protection

 

Thanks man! It's the only way to go
