    Pulling leafs to lower a Rig

    I run them on the front of my 86 Yota and have a winch, blah blah blah. I removed the bottom leaf after I did the SAS and have not put it back in (actually it's an AAL on my 2WD Taco now) :rofl: They sit near flat after a year and a half and flex rexl good IMO. I have a 1.5" drop hanger and...

    DIY Beadlocks

    :mad: Nope, that guy was my bro-in-law. He tends to burn bridges and guess what? He did it again :ugh: Oh well, $375 for 5 sets of locks to my door IMO is a great deal.

    Tire Pressure Gauges

    Is there any out there that are consistant? I have std. ones, digital ones cheap slide ones, gauge style ones med. priced ones. None seem to give the same reading. Of all the std. slide style seem to be to most consistant between the three I have, but suck ass at low psi IMO. Slide style read...

    They were royal blue, but my wife told me how gay that looked, so out came the hammerite grey. :rofl:

    DIY Beadlocks

    Got a set from Bobby Long (Longfields) last week. They are pretty typical in the DIY lock department. Thing I liked about them over others is the inner ring sit inside the wheel lip and not on the outside edge, and it has a 1/4-3/8" ring around it to prevent the outer ring from coning in much...

    Best Out of the Box Wheeler...(bang for the buck)

    D90 cuz they're cool as fawk! Otherwise I'd go with a Rubicon since I have never had a Jeep and had 5 or 6 Toyota's (even though a SC'ed Taco would be fun)

    rock sliders

    I had 2x4x1/8 sliders on my toyota years ago with 2x2x1/8 legs and they held up okay. A friend is running them still and they are not beat up to bad. Switch to a set of round 1.5x1/8 sliders and dented the piss out of them (round tube less than 0.25 sucks on sliders IMO) Now I went back to...

    Axle swapping time???

    I would do a 44 up front to gain width, strength, etc. Rear I would consider 9" before a 8.8. My $0.02

    A few Midwest wheelin pics

    Yeah it is. A V6 would be great for my rig, but the expense is something I'm not up for. I know I know. It's still in the plans, just not sure when. Bills are paid and now we are saving up green to make it even easier.

    A few Midwest wheelin pics

    Went a new park this weekend. Closest wheelin to me now, less than 2 hours. 250~ acres and it has been started, but plans are for a lot more I hear. What we hit in this short day didn't even come close to all the trails. Nothing great, but a good mix, and when it's wet, it's tough and MTR's...

    Leaf Spring Issues

    Well I was wrong. I do have wrap in the rear :squint: Among other things I actually need to fix on my truck over the winter I am leaning towards adding a trac bar for now even though it will require more work since I have to make a crossmember as well. Time to start researching what works...

    Dana 60 Question

    You won't find a stock 35 spline int he width you want. IMO buy a FW 60, narrow it, and 9" big bearing ends on it and by some 35 spline shafts in the lug pattern you desire. My $0.02

    Leaf Spring Issues

    :p That stock Xmember has been gone for a while now. One more reason for no trac bar :rofl: I hate projects anymore. I'll add the weight for sure anyway, so I'll see what that does for me. Otherwise, it's time to step it up for some real traction.

    Leaf Spring Issues

    I am leaning against the trac bar since I'm not getting much wrap really. My pinion doesn't move up much, it's likes to start hopping though. They are 8 or 9 leaf packs and work pretty good for me. Plus I am really not wanting to waste more time with leaves, but also don't want the down time...

    Leaf Spring Issues

    Very true. Decents don't bother me though. I just want traction to be there unlike now. I have my tank behind the axle, and I want to build a "roll bar" for my bed that incorporates the spare as far back as possible as well. I want to do this regardless of if I link it or not. A 4 link just...

    Leaf Spring Issues

    I have a Toyota mini with 4" All Pro leafs in the rear and 5100 Bilsteins. Only thing out back is a gas tank and 100 pound "bed" and a cooler for weekend trips. I get a lot of hop on climbs and off camber they seem to unload real fast and it's gets tippy. I want it to hook up like it should...

    Vehicle evolution

    Here it is after the engine rebuild, bone stock and on 31's around Oct of 99. April of 2001 sporting a 4" TM lift, 4.88 gears and EZ lockers F/R and 33" TSL's on 10" wheels. Around January of 2002, I started the slow process of the SAS and all the other items that go along with it...
