    Hey Everyone,
    Been quite some time since I’ve logged on. Lots have changed since then, including moving on to 37s. Few updated pics, still enjoying the rig, hope same goes for all of y’all!

    Thanks!

    Stock gears still, my buddy is CVC tuning and really got me dialed in with shift points and throttle response. I’m running a 91 tune and it feels solid. Eventually I will regear to 4.88’s , but right now I’m prioritizing swapping to a Tundra steering rack

    My back hurts just looking at this. Hoisting a 37 off/on the tire carrier must be a chore!

    Lets us know about the rack, that would make an interesting installation post.

    I’m also curious on how your breaks hold up.

    Oh and, get the 4.88s! Physics beat tunes every time!

    Cheers
    Mike

    PS Are you running a body lift? It looks like a gap between your sliders and rocker panels.

    lol they aren’t light I’ll tell you that.

    Been eyeing the Tundra rack from Toyo steering, has anyone ordered from them? They offer reamed and gusseted spindles at an extra cost, but I’ve got my spindles gusseted already with Total Chaos, so might just work with that.

    Breaks are meh, then again they weren’t the best to begin with. It’s definitely at about half press before I get solid engagement, it was even worse when I had beadlocked KMC grenades, those things are bricks. At some point I’ll upgrade to Power breaks.


    These are Westcott designs 0 degree/DOM tubing/TIG welded/ with top plates/ no kickout. Westcott is top tier quality, I almost wanted to keep it clear to show off the impressive TIG welding.
