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

It really did but I can't wait

 

yeah man should look sweet with 35s!

 

It'll look sweet but will it do more than 50 lol only time will tell.. unfortunately I'm gonna be rolling on 4.10's for a few months till I can gather the coin to regear to 4.88 poor bumper keeps getting put on the back burner first my gf buys me an rtt and now fitting 35's lol

 

haha shit good luck with that and the gf

 

Thanks man she's the best she buys me truck parts lol

 

My rack is two weeks away.... this is going to be the longest two weeks ever

 

Soo sad news today. The guy I was gonna do the tire swapping with has backed out. No Harm no foul. I kinda figured anyways when I hadn't heard from the guy in a month. Anyways he let me borrow his rtt rack for the weekend as I goofed on my dates and my rack won't be ready till next weekend. So at least I'll be set for what looks like a very rainy 2nd annual turkey jam.

On a more positive note I've scored some cruisin off road bumpers front and rear with swing out. Just gotta settle up and pick them up as well as get a 1" body lift as they're designed to work with that. So ya fun stuff I will have a massive pic dump after the weekend as usual

 

Things have happened

 

can you still open your tool box with that RTT setup? i have an access cab as well and will be picking up a tool box soon but want to do a RTT on cross bars like that but worry about it being able to open. your set up is honestly what i envision for my RTT someday whenever i get it. thanks in advance.

 

I can totally open my box, even with the tent open and the bars for the rain fly installed there's still enough room. I need better leafs though bounced off the bumps a bunch of times this weekend

 

Whipsaw Bush Turkey Jam 2: Jesse's Revenge

A great success this year. More carnage that I've ever seen on this trail but hey its what makes it fun.

The trip started out with twice as many trucks as I was expecting


Then the rain came and wow did it ever fall. Now whipsaw isnt the hardest trail when it's dry but it can still do some damage if you're not careful. When it's raining and washouts turn into greasy slides and puddles turn into mud lakes it get interesting really fast.

The carnage started before we even hit the trail. There was a deer incident on the highway. One of the second gens lost an oil cap and most of his oil. Then this fj lost a wheel due to improper maintenance on the wheel spacers. So some fuckery ensued to get him back on the trail a couple guys stayed behind and would head back to town if needed but we all had vhf so coms were pretty good. Once we got everyone sorted out we made some pretty good time.

Waiting for everyone to catch up. My girls and a 1uzfe 4runner




Then I decided to push things and see if I could climb the rock face in the wet and mud... i could not but it made for some good pics and an interesting winch save





Then it was time to get flexy but first the only jeep on the run had to blow out a coil spring







Dat ass


We almost lost the v8 runner here if he sneezed he'd of rolled I stopped taking pics cause I dropped my phone getting ready to get out of the way




Just before we got to camp the 1uz runner missed a tree and lost his tailgate



The tent did well after being in the rain for hours it was still dry when I unfolded it



I really dislike this setup. My rack will be 2" higher and I will have the tent coming off the side instead cause off the rear is a pita

A little fire action



Can't stop taking pics


Some of the other trucks at camp





Then the snow wheelers showed up god these things are on another level





Much drinking and deep frying of turkey and other things happened. The next day we got back at er around 11 ish it had snowed heavily for about 3 hrs but luckily it had melted by the time we were ready to move

But first we carrot dicked a 4runner


Little ledge hopping















Right after this pic the alt wire on this truck arcked out. Apparently it had been rubbing on the steering shaft. He made it home on battery power. The mud would later claim the coil pack on the other second gen pickup as well as one of the third gens died due to a water logged air intake a few trail fixes later but we all made it to loadstone lake the official end of the whipsaw trail

My cruisin off road rtt rack arrived today. So did some beer

 

nice truck man. i got 2015 4cyl base it works just fine. had a 02 just like it, sold it w/2ooooo. mi still had alot of life left. take care of it and it will take care of you. nice pics and thanks for cleaning all that trash up.

 

Thanks man!!!
Ya it's a great truck love every minute of it

 

So this happened

 

I'll just leave this right here


Wow its dirty under here. Getting the 1" BL installed

Soo started taking apart the interior and found this


I'd been wondering why I'd been hearing lots of road noise and getting lots of dust in the cab. From the underside it looks like a rock just fit perfectly between the arms for the sliders. I had no idea this had even happened.

Soo time to fix it


Used some sealer on both sides


OK back to the primary project. Body lift installed and messing around with the lights lol


For this bumper the center support thingy and where it ties into the fenders had to be removed. We kept the section that the grill clips into



Trying to get the fitment right still not totally satisfied with how it lines up but it'll work for now

How technical is a body lift? Any surprises? Something that made it more difficult than you expected. Looks good.

 

It went pretty smooth I had speedwaygonzalez helping and he's done it before. There's a good write up

But really just losen off the steering shaft and take you time definitely faster with a buddy. The only surprise I had was the big has dent /hole in my floor lol
