no worries man... we were glad just for you to be able to hang out with us.

the rear gave us just a tid bit of a challenege but no biggie. we had it all dropped by 9:30pm

 

So you loosened your torsion bars? Is that what you did? If it is resting on the bumpstop, how the heck do you control it? Sounds dangerous. I read somewhere on here that another member removed his torsion bars. How and why do you guys do this if your not going to put coilovers or airbags in?

what had happened was that the bolt retaining the adjustment snapped off..... we didnt drive it like that. we installed new bolts and cranked the torsions just high enough to clear the front bumpstops. the truck isnt a daily driver at the moment.

we also installed shorter length doestec shocks in the front wich give us back most of our original up-travel. with these, we are also going to install some low profile bumpstops. we do have some spring rate in the torsions so the ride will still be decent.

eventually my friend will be getting drop arms to drop it the right way. but for now..... he's just trying to budget the initial expenses of the truck since it needs other priority items.

 

more pictures to add

 

looking good!! by the way which part of San Diego you from?

 

both myself and MacRib are from the chula vista area... you?

 

i got family in chula vista, so im down there every so often, maybe one time i culd swing by n check the rides out?

oh btw how much was the solid back window? im lookin to get rid of my slider

 

I used to live in chula vista for like 12 years. Went to school @ Montgomery junior high. I lived right across the street next to Silverwing. My dad was station @ coronado. miss that place. Lived in national city too. went to Las palmas for elementary.

 

Did u guys bring it up a little in the front to level with the rear? Lookin better and better each time

 

we did have to bring it up some in the front to have it ride decent... we cant bring it down more on fear that its gonna make the ride way too mushy..... we're waiting on funds for the DJM LCA's. once we have those, we'll make it tuck tire up front and rear.

 

got to do some tinkerin tonight with MacRib and his truck and this is what we've dun....

4Runner front bumper and valance, JDM 2 way clear corners. i give it dos dedos grandes arribah!!

 

Lookin good! You gonna do a 2wd grille or a 4runner grille?

 

this was somethin i noticed after i looked at these just now.......... check out how it looks like he fell asleep......

falls asleep on grill......


goin down.....


out for the count....

 

Haha I used to fall asleep in my cougar all the time when I was working on the interior. That passenger seat is sooo comfortable lol Trucks looking good though. Looks like ya'll are moving along pretty quickly with it.

 

looking good! welding puts me to sleep, so i always need headphones while i'm doing a lot of welding.

 

yea, we've been hitting it pretty heavy every little chance we get so wouldnt surprise me to fall asleep half way through a mod and not remember what we were doin

 

wut do u mean "2way" corners? they blink too?

 

2 way

The markers have holes for 2 bulbs and they're separated. The front hole is going to be used for the parking light and the 2nd one will tap into the signal light so it will blink with the signal. The marker also has an extra raised "bubble" on the 2nd hole so you can actually see it light up if you stick your head out the window.

 

so ur gonna have both blinkers, uhm, blink? lol
and does the 2way have the bubble on there regardless or do they make it without the bubble cuz if not im gonna do like phatmitzu and
jus make my blinkers end up in my corners. lemme kno bout the bubble

 

Looks great from teh rear!
