Just got the LC motor mounts in. What a pita! But when im at idle it sounds like i got some 12" subs inside the cab!! Lots of vibs now..... Not too sure i want to keep these.

gay, have you driven it yet?  I would just chain the stock mounts

Ya i took it for a spin around the block and its pretty loud. I did have the stock mounts chained, cut them off and now i think i will be welding them back on 

[Ramrod]

when I put in the motor with that head in my truck it was SOOOO much louder than the old one I had I had to change the exhaust

Ya same hear i noticed the exhaust got louder. But everything in the cab vibrates so bad with these motor mounts, sounds like the windshield and the dash are going to fall apart. Well the windshield is already all cracked up but you know what i mean.

[toyotaexo]

now for some trail pics

[DTB]

I would recommend getting some good used mounts

It was an awesome b-day. Lots of drinking, everyone was shitty but brad was being a party poop. I thought we were going to hit a tree coming back from the casinos when brad was purposely spinning out on the ice. Got a little crazy sat night and ended up with a hole in the wall of the RENTED cabin. That was shitty and i stepped in some puke sun morning. It was hella fun anyways. 

[Yota4life]

I officially hate my junk!!!!!! I want to drive it off a cliff like james did yesterday minus me in it. Im sick of working on it fixing one thing then every other thing is all fucked off now. I wont be driving it anywhere soon.

What happened now?

You sound like me. At this point I am fully over 4wheelin...

[Yota4life]

I feel like being over it for a while. Before my motor that "should" have lasted a long time for what i payed was all fucked up. Spent another 700$ too get it all running good.

Now when i hit 60mph the whole truck does a death wobble. Steering dosent move at all, it just starts swaying side to side, ya scrarryyy! Probley has to do with the weight of the exo.  Now my rear drive line vibrates like a sun of a pregnant dog! I thought the whole drive line was going to straight fall off on the way home last night. And my tranny is making some fucked up noises while the rear drive line sounds like a loud a$$ cow bell. On top of that i think the front axle is making some weird noises also.

Its like a juke box on wheels going down the road!! Its so annoying driving this thing i hate it. I think the vibs have to do with the output flange and possibly the third member or the whole drive line needs to be thrown away.

Next time im on the trail its getting towed there. My dad just got a new Chevy 1ton so i might be getting a trailer soon. 

It sucks trying to keep it streetable and everytime i fix one thing another is fagged off. Just pissed off right now. Ill post some pics i got yesterday.

[twistedtoy92]

damn that sucks.... yeah thats how it allllllways goes, if its not one thing its another and when it rains it straight up POURS!!!!!

[lilbuddy]

yeah dude thats fully weak...

sorry to hear that man.

[kiyul4130]

thats what happens when you keep modding a DD more and more. it starts to drive worse and worse. its getting that way with my truck. ya check those flanges on the t-cases and diffs. that will make vibrate like no other.

I know its pretty ridiculous at this point to be streetable. I stopped using it as a daily driver over a year ago. Once you put an exo on it, never look back because its going to drive like poo.  Every corner it wants to flop over.   

[kiyul4130]

ya. mines not getting caged till i know it can be trailered. your drove up here to the snow last time right?

[Yota4life]

Its all i got with my cell phone. The camera was already dead.  We ran Hell Hole. Icy and like 2 inches of snow wohoo!

James (Jack8542) and kent (lilblue) a$$ over front roll off the top of this. I was like wholly shizznit! Good thing no one got hurt badly just some cuts and headaches. Interior cage bent like hell on the pass side and some spots the tube tore away from the welds but did its job. 




Brad stole my truck

[Yota4life]

ya. mines not getting caged till i know it can be trailered. your drove up here to the snow last time right?

Yes.

[DTB]

dang! thats a pretty good roll! I know exo cages are ugly as hell but thats exactly the reason why I want to run one! looks like fun 

[Hyena]

An exo cage would have bent to on that roll also.  it was seriuosly a 15 foot drop straight to the top of the truck and then it flopped over on the drivers side.  it is a very good thing tha cage was in there or the cab would have been flat.  we drove it home like 2 hours also.  the motor andradiator were fine.  back window blew out and the front is toast but the doors are good.

[Yota4life]

dang! thats a pretty good roll! I know exo cages are ugly as hell but thats exactly the reason why I want to run one! looks like fun 

An exo keeps the tube farther from your head and out of the cab, better in that kind of roll over but it really didn't look like fun dropping from that hight right onto there head!

[inmyownsummerami]

Thats nutz! There goes cab #2
