Man!!! How many jumps did u do to cause that? Haha jk good thing for the spare. And that weather looks nice!! I like the overcast picture with all the trucks lined up

weather was perfect all three days.
it was, wish i could have stayed longer
sweet picture. yea i dont like to drive much in the dunes in the runner lol. the t bars and rear end just doesnt like to big whoops too much. it still rides pretty good imo. compared to coilover and guys with the newer runners, they seem to be smoother. was nice to meet the guy that made my kit tho. no stickers

to have an even amount of up and down travel. it will give you 3 inches of lift depending on how you set your torsion bars. you can sit lower or higher and depending on which way you go, it just means your that much closer to the bump stops. i wanna say im right around the middle. its about the same height as i had before with just bj spacers/no crank on t bars

You're welcome... And DAYUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, .... I have now missed 4 trips to Pismo!!!!!!!!!! Course, now it's so bad that I didn't even know there was one hahaha.
Hangin with you and N8 and Troy was there too? Woulda been good times, man. Glad you're home safe without too much carnage.
BTW..... that TC idler... EEEEEEEEK! lol. I think on sale it's like 300$ right? I know there's a guy that grabbed every last Idler Brace from Downey..... He's REALLY hard to get a hold of for some reason... But maybe I can find him again. That route would be around 60$ or so and is supposed to be solid. My MOOG hasn't given me a problem in 10 years... But then, now YOU are REALLY pushing the limits and such.... it's probably a good Idea to beef that up, sure nuff .

Looks like you guys had a good time at the Jambo! Nate is a cool guy. We cruised around the dunes with him a couple years ago. Sorry I missed it this year, just had too much going on. Hopefully next year.
And, Mark, you need to make one of these events sometime. A lot of good people, and a laid back atmosphere. Good times!

I'm so glad I've been taking so many before and after pix of my truck. For reasons like that. I want to be able to look back on all my progress. Unfortunately I only have like 4 pix of my old red truck and a couple of videos. I want to make sure I have load of pix and videos for memories in case of ever rolls, gets jacked, or anything ya know.
When I seen your tlbefore pix I was like wow.... Huge difference to how it looks now. Awesome job. and all this has been over the coarse of two years only?

The wheeling photo's have fully sold me on the Blazeland kit!
I don't know what to do for the rear suspension yet though. Once I strip down my parts truck I'll get some photo's up in my build thread and ask for suggestions.

glad to help you make your discussion. for the rear of mine i plan on trying some chevy 63s. yours is coils so idk what you would do to help keep the rear working as good as the long travel front. i know guys have done leaf spring set up in the rears on 2nd gen runners when they go solid axle so thats an option

from this last weekend. spent two days wheeling and camping at bald mountain and brewer lake.
almost rolled it on Hollywood Hill
my 1st time doing Hollywood Hill. did get up one 3 wheels mid way lol
sporting my toyota limited shirt from 2007 tundra class
running a winch line for the chevy down below
he busted his tranny mount
the start of Brewer lake
got a better grill for trips without a trailer. less than $40 on clearance at Lowes

Two words........ "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" and "YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" hahaha.
Great pics, great looking time... Thanks for posting, Bud!
BTW, hows the wound healed? Felt bad for ya on that one... Yeah, I know, "Chicks dig scars", lol... But it still sux, or people would just smash their faces into door edges on occasion just for 'cool scars', right?
Rigs looking great, man!
PS> I need to at LEAST LOOK at my tranny mounts and then maybe into getting some armor, soon! I've got a bud who's gonna help me do sliders/bumpers/the springs... Think I should order up some 'protective' gear as well before we get started, ya know? .... lol... knock it all out in a weekend or something.
