    Dyna Beads - recent experience?

    How many ounces did you use for the 35s and 315s? 8 ounces or did you require more?

    Yeah, I'm just kidding... I think I'd have room for 37's - easy.

    ALCANs, TG crossmember, spring hangers are all there at the shop. Just waiting for a break in their (IPOR) schedule to get a lift. Doing the SAC only took a few days - it's waiting for the little things, shipping, etc. But I'm in no hurry - this isn't my daily driver. After that we'll take...

    You know my wife doesn't go in my truck... are you like, asking me out? NTTAWWT... :confused: I mean, I think your truck is hot, too... :o Oh -- my spring hangers are in! Now, if one of the shop bays get open...

    Dyna Beads - recent experience?

    I'm looking at a new set of 315's for my recently SAC'd truck and I searched the forum for experience with Dyna Beads. http://www.innovativebalancing.com/ Most of it is several years old and consists of debates on which is better from pellets, beads, BBs, weights, golf balls... but the best...

    About the backwards facing snorkel conundrum

    Another triumph for science! Thanks for answering this question definitively -- I've often wondered the impact. I'll keep looking forward...

    Double D shaft and Borgerson's. FROR offers a direct replacement firewall steering plate with boot that has the correct angle for the shaft and seals up the cab. Note the support shaft Ryan (IPOR) tucked through the stock spring buckets.

    Very true Ryan. The only Toy parts are FJ60 knuckles and hubs; 4Runner steering box, rotors, and caliper; inspiration from the 80-series Land Cruiser radius arm suspension; and T100 oil pan and associated parts. Rest is Trail Gear, Ballistic Fab, FROR, ICON, ARB, and Nitro. Oh, and an axle...

    I am SO sorry. My sympathy for your loss. Yours is the winning vote - I shall keep the 3RZ. Actually, my wife recently learned the real (almost) cost of the SAC... :Wow1:

    Not as much as Ballistic Fab Spring Hangers wanted! They were supposed to be delivered last WED - Cam called and after a lengthy pause on hold they replied that they forgot to send them. Should be here any day now (where have we heard THAT before?). I don't care about power I just want take...

    Auxiliary fuel tank for 01 Tacoma reg cab

    Slowly, grasshopper... You know it's not just a stock 3RZ - I have a throttle body spacer AND a tornado.

    Auxiliary fuel tank for 01 Tacoma reg cab

    Wow big difference... on-line a 15 gal metal YJ tank with fuel pump and sending unit is $230.00; for a 20 gal its listed as $240.00.

    Auxiliary fuel tank for 01 Tacoma reg cab

    I've been planning an auxiliary fuel tank for the last 2 years but other modifications I've executed ranked higher. I've looked at other installations, LC 80 and LC 100 series OEM aux tanks, observed other aftermarket installations, and planned my own with some fabricators. Mocked up the...

    Auxiliary fuel tank for 01 Tacoma reg cab

    Check out the shipping... :Wow1: Fuel filler is on the opposite side as our Tacoma, meaning you'd had to swap exhaust to the other side and have a fuel distribution challenge.... :mad: Now check out a 15 gal YJ tank and imagine it where your spare tire sits under the bed. Or even a 20 gal...

    Doc's 05 Tacoma Build Thread

    Oh, I'm tracking with you... not a criticism -- the whole rig looks GTG. Answers the mail for a hasty shelter when you're on the go. If I haven't used 60 meters of 550 cord I've been slacking. You know my affinity for anything that ends in drab...

    Nice thinking! Needs more 550 cord though... ;)

    Box Rocket '03 DC Tacoma Build

    Pictures of the swing-out hinge, lock-pin, and clasp you requested. Suspect your current bumper will accomodate the same style of swing-out.

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Interesting roof rack - do you have any details on the build or what it's made of?

    Box Rocket '03 DC Tacoma Build

    Me too Adam! Will do. Built last year but someone else got pics and I never got around to getting copies. In the interim while you're noodling out your design, the hinge is stupid-simple, rock solid, and trouble-free the last year I've had it on. More details...
