Redneck92's 02 TRD Build - DD/Trail rig

[Redneck92]

I've ran them before on my 4Runner but never really off road. Anything is better than the bald rear tires I have on there now. A couple of the guys in my off road club run them and really like them. Gonna get the truck aligned next week found out a buddy of mine does them at the shop he works at.

Still waiting on tires, should be in on Friday I hope. I just ordered a set of 1/4 inch top plate spacers from Wheeler's that shipped out today. After getting my fender to hub measurements I was a little disappointed. Front was at 22" and rear was at 22.5" (only the passenger side, the driver side I didn't measure but It's probably lower.)So basically an inch of lift of front and a half inch in the rear. The aal will help the rear but it's kinda sad that billys and stock coils are only at about an inch of lift now. Gonna be at least summer till I can ordered 882's and probably winter till some new leafs are in order.

TIRES ARE IN! :goingcrazy: but I can't get them till Tuesday. Got an appointment for an alignment on Tuesday at 8:30 so between now and then have to put these on that came today.

Wheelers shipped fast, very happy they got here as quick as they did. Also have to drop the skids and put my bastard aal in.

Wheel got my spacers put in. That was a utter *****. The knuckle kinda tries to occupy the space space as the spring at full droop. Not to bad of contact though. Gonna have to stay that way for a while till I get upper control arms. I had to come up with an interesting way to get the bolt back in on the passenger side.

It did sacrifice the strap though.

Also had to take the skids off so I can get it aligned on Tuesday. They have gotten a little use so far.

Also figured out why one of the bolts wanted to run away. No threads at all.

Going to have to fix this issue here soon as well. Both sides are the same.

Truck has a little bro lean now. Gonna have to break out the flat bill hat till Thursday when the aal goes in.

Got a alignment done this morning. Actually got it back into spec but the front adjusters are maxed out so no more castor for either side but it drives way better now compared to what it did.

Then went and picked up my tires from 4 Wheel Parts in Charlotte. Little size difference.

Then went and had them mount at a local tire shop. I'm overall very happy with the look of these. They look like everything will clear too.

Just put the skids back on and repainted the sliders. Should have some wheeling pics from this weekend next week.

Got some wheeling in this morning and last night. Ran Daniel, Rocky Mtn Loop, Dickey Bell, Dutch John, Wolf Den, Slab Pile and Slab pile. Truck did great I'm am extremely happy with how it's working. Tires were awesome, aired down to 12 up front and 10 in the rear. I had traction for days. Also got a little body damage. Tapped the bed on Bell hill.

Some from me messing around at the UORTC property at the Jamboree.

The rear seems to flex great! Reeeally jealous of your sunroof..

 

[Redneck92]

Yeah and there is some hidden droop left. Shocks and brake line is holding back a few inches of droop.

What tires are on that 4-door Wrangler?

 

[Redneck92]

Nitro Trail Graplers. Really great tire Imo. One of the best on the market.

Went to the workday at Uwharrie yesterday and got some wheeling in afterwards with a guy in a FJ Crusier. Had a ball, did notice my cv boot starting pissing grease and the ball joints are doing the same so gonna have to do those here soon. Any recommendations on cv boots, the ball joints are going to be oem but not sure on the boots.

Some pics of yesterday messing around on poser rock.

Here's a really bad pic of the cv boot

Also figured out I need to extend the bump pad and cut my u bolts down some. Definitely using all my shock travel. Need to get rid of the 5125s and go 5150s.

Took some clearance pics while ice had it flexed.
