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

What kinda lift does your buddy have with the 35's? The sliders come in handy many of ways haha.

 

Truck is lookin good man, I like those skids. You have got some nice wheelin country up there!

Plate bumper in your future?

 

He's running toytec boss coilovers, bilstiens in the back with Dakar springs and a shackle flip. And a bunch of fender and cab mount trimming.

The skids are mean as hell took some solid hits on the weekend barely even hurt them. It's great I just wish more people would take care and appreciate what we have. I'm actually thinking of doing a hybrid tube bumper

 

Fuck

 

Couple Quick vids from the weekend putting that armour to good use. Couple easy trails nothing crazy

took my skids off yesterday and got them painted up. the ifs skid took some good punishment last weekend lol

Sandblasted


Painted


Also got these from one of the guys that was with us last weekend

Watching some idiot jeep guys get stuck on some driftwood

 

Lookin good man! I am jelly, really need to get the truck out.

Is your IFS a 2 piece design? Never seen that before, but sure would be nice for the install

 

It's nice getting out I try and get out as much as money will allow me too during the summer lol yes the ifs skid is two parts it uses the factory holes from the cookie sheet and also you remove those two brace things and that's where the oil pan skid attaches. I use a jack to put the plates into place but the dimple die holes Line up so with a funnel contraption I won't have to take them off to do oil changes. They do sit low because they go below the cross members but I prefer it that way those x members have enough dents in them

 

That's some cool shit man.
Wishing I had bigger nads.

 

Lol after the first few trails you get addicted to finding new places and getting further and further away from the city dwellers

 

Couple things went for a nice little dirve the other weekend nothing challenging obstacle wise just some nice views






They were too scared to ride in the truck up the hill lol




I photo bombed the jeeps

 

So this weekend since work is slow and I had a lot of free time I decided to get cracking on the difficult part of my lift. Everything except the coilovers since they wouldn't be ready till Thursday... it's been a struggle and I've hit a wall I didn't anticipate on needing wheel spacers to clear the tc gussets so that's a pretty expensive unforseen cost mainly cause the canadian dollar is awful

Got the hoist fixed in the shop which has been a godsend for this project


I didn't start till like 930 pm on Friday night so I only got the one side stripped


Got up early Sat and headed over to thekernels place as he offered to weld up the gussets for me


Never in my life have I seen a stupider design for upper control arms


Then I realized I forgot a couple washers on the passenger side for the tc unit and I'm guessing the bolt is both bent and the nut ran past the threads anyways it has to be cut out and I'll have to pick up another ft long bolt


I kept going as it was really late and the bolt issue was minor till I ran into a tire clearance issue
soo nice


Gonna make rolling hard


So that's where I'm at a lot of messing around and some unforseen issues.... heading out to the parts store to see if they have any spacers in stock if not I'll carry on with the rear and deal with the truck Monday after work

 

It's always something when you start a project like that it seems... What size of wheel spacers are you looked my to get?

 

I posted up on the local forum and had spacers an hour after posting this. Got spidertraxx 1.25 spacers

 

Part deux

ASK and ye shall receive. Asked if anyone had spacers on BCTOYOTA4WD. Had spidertraxx 1.25 spacers within an hour can't argue with that !!!



Got to work on the rear end. So beefy ironman 4x4 foam cell shocks, ome u bolts and a leaf pack with an aal


Sitting on 4 again


Test drive to the beer store

 

Flex test today also picked up another trasharoo. Support your local 4wd association! !!!






She's got a lot more flex in the rear end now should help me out on some of the flexy trails !!

 

Just got the word today my coilovers Will be ready on Friday. Which means I get to spend my Saturday in the shop again. Gonna fix the passenger side uca and get an alignment first thing Monday unless my guy can be available on Sunday. Which gives me two weekends before I load her up for WHIPSAW!!!!!!! So happy this is all coming together finally

 

Looking good man can't wait to see the finished product.

 

That is some pretty good flex you got going on now...

 

Thanks guys I can't wait to get the truck back in the shop. And get those coilovers in. A lot more flex than stock that's for sure. Ive got some extended brake lines I've gotta throw on as well
