[toyotanner]

just noticed you need a flip kit in the rear

[TheCookieMonster]

ya. i need springs front and rear, shackels front and rear, rear flip kit, shock hoops, shocks, TIRES,rebuild front end, locker for front,  im sure theres more. the list never ends

[toyotanner]

true lol

[TheCookieMonster]

so here is the next thing on the list



schedule 40 drivelines!!!

since i did the flatbelly and all my drivetrain is solid, my rear driveline has the worst death wabble ever. i didnt really notice when i had the old crossmember because the t-case mount took most of the vibes. i cant even go 10mph without the truck feelin like its gonna fall apart. so time to make a jig and get to work 

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

get on it boy!

[TheCookieMonster]

just order some tripple drilled flanges for t-case and diff., also a speedo extension. i need the flanges for the driveline jig then they'll go in the truck for the new front d-line 

[toyotanner]

you still planning on going to mcr7?

[TheCookieMonster]

you still planning on going to mcr7?

im pretty sure ill be going ....i just need to get my together and get this thing ready. suspension and a front locker are the big things i need done by then ...are you plannin on goin down?

also got my driveline jig made tonite ...just need my flanges to get here and get a dial indicator stand and they'll be done.

[toyotanner]

i got the time off so i'm hoping i can get the $$ together to go.

[TheCookieMonster]

FINIALLY took the truck wheelin yesterday at Shotgun Creek ...all i got to say is dual cases are the bomb ...got to test out the new drivelines and flatbelly setup and it worked awesome, i was very suprised. smashed the diffs. pretty good so i think its time for some armor and a front end rebuild. also gonna lock up the front while its apart

thanks man...im not driving it cause the tires and wheels i got on there have a death wabble from hell. i think the wheels are bent and the tires are no where close to being balanced (my brothers tires off the 3rd gen). plus my tranny is making some pretty sweet noises. so its a lot safer just to tow it

[toyotanner]

yea i started thinking about it and i was like nevermind he has boggers thats why he tows lol

[TheCookieMonster]

i just noticed i hit the gas tank with a rock this weekend  ...so im putting the stock gas tank skid plate back on for now. i really dont want a hole in it this weekend at browns . so hopefully that will help. also putting in a cb too

im really hopeing all my parts come before this weekend so i can get the front end rebuilt.  the third up while im at it

[I.D.G.A.F]

where did you get your pinon wedges from?

[TheCookieMonster]

where did you get your pinon wedges from?

i got them from knechts. im pretty sure that they ordered them from skyjacker. their 4* pinion shims. costed like $20

[toyotanner]

welded front  but you gotta do what you gotta do

did you get longfields yet i cant remember?

cause if you haven't dont weld the front or your gonna be mad when you go to browns or bring a couple spare birfs

[TheCookieMonster]

nope no longs yet. ya i know welded thirds suck but i dont really care at this point. i just want to get out and use this thing already  ....even if i do break

[toyotanner]

 bring spare birfs or you will be

[TheCookieMonster]

ill (borrow) some from my buddy  ..im not plannin on doin anything crazy since this is my first time up there. but who know what will happen  ...are you gonna be there this weekend??

[toyotanner]

i'm gonna try..... yeah you say you wont try anything crazy but trust me things change once your there lol.... and once you have some anythings possible haha

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

man I sure someone from this forum makes it.... 

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

tanner we need you to show us where all the cool is at bro....

[toyotanner]

i can basically take you anywhere you wanna go. except sometimes i get twisted around when going from prison to browns but i can show you a good time

[TheCookieMonster]

ya im sure ill do somethin dumb ...but thats how it goes. we definetly need someone there that knows where the hell their goin for sure. its all you tanner  .
