Trident904’s 22 TRD OR Premium on 35’s

Something's missing I don't see any lockers. I am about to get some gears and lockers myself. I assume you went ECGS, looks good man.

 

He's on 33s and doesn't want the engine to be screaming going down the hwy at 70 mph.

 

4.88’s would be great for 37’s but too low for 33’s and 35’s. Yes I said 35’s, because they will happen.

ECGS all the way. E-locker rear. I’m not a fan of front lockers. They make things break and I’ve never needed a front locker. Had one in my 09 Taco and never used it. Took 8 hours to get the front done. Passenger side CV was being a dick.

 

That is definitely a job I would have to take to a shop. Looking forward to updates after it’s done.

 

I wouldn't be worried about using a front locker unless you just bind shit up and break it. I've seen several guys on obstacles that even with just a rear locker couldn't get up definitely needed the front locker. But you are right if used wrong timing or when steering locked can definitely break some shit.

 

R&R wasn’t bad at all. CV axles were a pain in the dick but nothing that couldn’t be handles with an extra pair of hands, some cerveza, and a few choice 4 letter words.

Initial drive feels great. Have to tweak the driver side CV. Don’t think I have it seated all the way.

 

True, I’m just not a fan of IFS with a locker. If I ever SAS, a locker will be put in.

 

All done with the install. Break in time. 85w140 gear oil is thick as fuck. The bottle pump I ordered did not have a suitable diameter tube and required a shit ton of effort to pump the oil. Will be looking for a better pump when it comes time to replace the break in oil.

Just waiting for the word from SOS that my hybrid front bumper is ready.

Update on the new gears?

 

love them. Amazing on the trail. Was able to crawl a lot of stuff in 4hi.

 

Great looking build! Keeping my eyes on this build

 

So am I.

 

Soon, very soon. Side braces need to be finished and powder coat done. Great work again by @SOS CONCEPTS.

 

Well damn

 

Hell yeah brother Eddy texted me the pic I was going to send it to ya then seen it on the IG and figured youd see it there. Plus I've been on and off with service today.

 

You aren’t getting sliders from SOS are you? Was thinking of going to Timbo’s

 

Off to PC hope you are surviving this stuff going around

 

Oh hell yeah! I’m surviving Sitting at home doing nothing.

 

I have Timbos Customs sliders.

 

Did a little prep work on the T4R to get it ready for the SOS Hybrid that’s coming!

 

Hey Brian! I haven't checked in for awhile. Turned out to be a few more mods than some window tint and a set of floor mats. I think your gonna be a little over qualified for the MC crowd. In the middle of a CV axle change this weekend, and YES the whole family are Dick Heads! SOS Hybrid is gonna put a serious mean mug on that rig now! Miss wheelin with you guys. Truck looks Great!!

Hopefully we get back to work soon, but I think for me sports tv is gonna be hurting for awhile.

Stay Safe and Healthy Bro!

 

Yeah, lol, I couldn’t keep it under control. Plus, I’ve got to get the rig ready for Arizona living next year.

 

My family moved out there years ago. I love it! Drove the 5th gen out there by myself at Christmas. What part?

 

Scottsdale in June 2021 is the plan. I’m stoked to get out there and explore.

 

Oh shit!! Serious wheelin' out there!

 

Yes Sir! It's gonna be all you can think about for yrs. Amazing is the only word that describes it. I've just scratched the surface in the two trips I took. I've never done any real rock climbing because I never had anyone with me. For me the dry river beds and washes were a blast!! This book really helped me find my way around.
