TYetti's 2.7L Rebuild/FULL SEND/EAF build

I really enjoy this thread man, subbed!

 

Thanks man stay tuned for more adventures

 

This thread needs more 35s

 

Man we need to get out sometime

 

I know right....Jordan wants go for a rip in the snow Friday night

 

ERMAHGERD SNER! !!!!!!!






Went out for a quick rip yesterday with @speedwaygonzalez found a wee bit of snow. Gonna have to try again when there's some more maybe. The shelf roads on this loop trail can be pretty tight and ass puckering if it's icy

 

Currently sitting at the tire shop my tires are full of fucking pallet nails. Must have been hiding under the snow. I'm so chocked waiting to find out how bad it is. Might be buying new tires today which pisses me off cause its an expense I wasnt expecting at all

 

Well now I'm kinda disappointed. Tires are fine and Shiney as they can only be when you leave a tire shop lol. Got a really good quote on some 33's 1300$ do 5 ko2's and they'd nock some off the price if I got winter rim and tires for my gf and her corolla s. I'm finding it hard to keep running the 265's even though they've got like another years worth of driving on them at the least. Tacoma problems I tell ya

 

Went for another not so much quick rip in the snow. We started with about 8 trucks and quickly had that number reduced to 4. Things people learned today. Proper tires are everything. Also genreal grabber red letters suck ass. Lol my bfg at ko's performed perfectly as I've come to expect.

Pics



Attempt number 8? For the red letters

He never did make it up good thing cause even at 12 psi, I was sliding all over on the way down the other side

 

I am a 4-banger access cab guy myself. Nice work on the build!

 

Thanks man. She's really coming together this year. Can't wait to get out on some trips

 

Soooo I'm pulling the trigger on a set of diffs that are geared to 4.88 and have arb lockers in em as well as the heavy duty arb compressor... fastest I've ever spent a Christmas bonus ever lol

 

Well Christmas turned out to be very good to my truck here's a list of parts that will be getting installed by the middle of Jan

Clearancing for 35's(tomorrow)
315/75r16 bfg ko2 x5(as soon as the banks open again)
Pro comp series 97 I think It was wheels x5 again as soon as I can cash this dam check
Arb air compressor(big one)
Arb air lockers (front and rear)
4.88's front and rear.

Probably the best Christmas ever

 

Damn, the truck is coming together quick! Can't wait to see it all together!

 

Ya I'm really lucky, was able to take advantage of a part out, and just some well timed extra monies have come into play. As well as the help of a great group of friends

 

Fender trim and cmc with @speedwaygonzalez

Well start off with the super high tech fender tool



Market up



We used a black sharpie cause the white paint pen died

I didn't cringe as much as I thought for this part


So much room for activities


Now time to kill that cab mount. Took as much off as possible without removing the cab mount bolt






All finished



The 32's look rediculous


35's and rims should arrive this week hopefully

 

Ok it official truck will be on steelies and 315's by the end of next week... Dam holidays and their happiness keeping me from bigger tires lol

 

Rtt is back on the truck and you know what that means!!! Massive pic dump Sunday !!!

 

It was an interesting weekend to say the least... new years eve we arrived to our first camp spot well after dark where the Temps quickly dropped to around -10-14... but with the fireball flowing we managed to stave off freezing to death long enough to get setup and get a fire going. Only to run to bed at exactly midnight because 6 hours of huddling around the fire was exhausting





We woke up to a lot of ice all over everything got a fire and some chow going before starting to pack up and try and make out way to the hot springs which was out eventual destination. On the way we ran into a couple other groups who informed up the trail was clogged with people who were totally under prepared for winter wheeling conditions and a 1ton with a camper was actually blocking the trail with 15 other trucks scattered across various ditches. So we decided to head up further and go play in some pow




We were forced to stop when we were plowing more snow than driving over. ON the way down my Trac control started going all fucky. Stopped for a snack and a beer to check things out



Ended up being all the wheel sensors were just packed with ice and snow so onward we went. The hot spring Trail was still clogged so we headed down a deactivated road and found ourselves a sweet little spot to camp






So again we tried for the hot sprigs. Only to find a dodge 1 ton hung up on the frame on an ice shelf before the last water crossing to get to the springs. Which was also middle of the door deep. While trying to figure out what to do our 4runner friend got sucked into a ditch. Which because it was so icy made it super difficult to recover. After an hour we got him free and started working on the Dodge as every other passe by had left him for stuck for good. We gave him a lesson on airing down and using 4lo... fired up the tiger torch (yes we brought a tiger torch) and melted away the shelf and cut some logs to give him some traction took a couple tries but we got him out and everyone down safe.. I would have liked to have made it to the springs but it was still a great weekend... I'm also gonna get off my ass about installing my winch would have made things super easy today

 

Mmmm 35's
