Good call on the zerks. I just might have to steal that idea when I finally get off my ass and install my urethane bushings. I've only had them for a few months, ya just can't hurry these things ya know.

 

Ya man sqeeking is down right anoying even the back ones sqeek and there not suppost to sqeek. Adding them makes the suspension work at better as well

 

One if I go out your way all stop by

 

I used 1/4 1-28 unf they have to be short thou or they will stick into the bushing

 

Nice and easy to get at.



Took it for a drive today alignment is off but rides so smooth and really quick in the steering
but lost some spring rate because the stock bushing's provided some resistance. I knew this would happen thou to solve this I may get djm lower control arms so I can bind up the t bars some more.

so far from what i have started from with out spending a bunch of money I have killer track truck.

 

I am truly happy guy today

Today I got the alignment done to the truck and dear god it's feels so good now no more slope in steering feel like a train on rail's.

My dog tracking/thrust angle issue is fix and is perfect and it turns both way's the same now.
The only issue left is the random bogs downs it does some times, but that soon will be fixed with a stand alone


Very happy with the new more aggressive alignment as well

 

We have a ice racing event coming up that I may enter so now I have to find studded snow tires.


it wil be rather exp event thou

 

If you have some old tires and these are legal in your area then I would do this-





Bolt, fender washer inside, normal washer outside and nyloc nut. 3/4" long was perfect length, pre-drill your holes with bit about 75% of bolt diameter. Add a pint to a quart of tire Goo to seal any possible leaks but if they are tight the don't usually leak. North Dakota has cold winter and fast ice racing. Used this set on my STI

 

Yep that will work better then snowies heard alot of people run inner tube well at lest in Manitoba

first got to see if I can afford the trip and find some one to go with

 

Well today I did some thing I have wanted to install ever since I got the truck.... and it is a intermittent wiper switch!!!!!

For the longest time I could not find one but then I found one woot woot.


Funny part is I have to modifie it so it will work with my Toyota supra mk3 hub for my momo wheel since the stock 22re one set to far foreword. The mk3 supra one sits alot closer to the steering column.


So what you have to do is swap the front plastic spring hub and add in clock spring from a none air bag Toyota supra so your turn signals will cancel and the horn will work.
Then add in set screw to hold the clock spring in place in there's a thread hole to make things easier.

so in the end I can flick my signals and wiper with out reaching off the wheel.

Well here are some pic's



mk3 clock spring


stock one



modded one

 

Well I think it is time to put this truck on diet and remove weight from up front

little snip here and little snipe there......

 

Well I chopped up my stock spare hood's under bracing off and well it's about 5 1/2 pounds

so i will do to my hood once it warms up abit here so I can paint it.

 

Well my cold air intake setup with the supra afm will be for sale soon since I am remaking it out of alum to shave weight

 

How much?

Post some pics of all this trimming lets check it out!

-RONI-

 

I am not sure really its kinda one of a kind but I guess the best offer I get really

 

Would you be willing to sell me your supra afm only?

 

mabye but it's kinda part of the hole setup really

I wonte be selling tell I install the stand alone thou

 

Well I found a w58 trans for my truck now all I need to do is buy a 4.30 gear set and I am golden




Only issue is finding a speed sensor for a 4.30 diff to go into the tranny so my speedo will read right

 

problem solved and cheaper then a stock vss too woot woot



Vehicle Speed Sensor, MCI | Marlin Crawler, Inc.
