Pretty much. I dont know what it is but people love the snorkel. Its so gay i dont get how anyone could like it. Some total bro came up today and asked me where i got it. I was like "bro, why would you want that? so you can go in water ofer your head?"

[THK Matt]

Thanks spencer haha

im going to lower it, move front axle forward, chop some stuff in the front and then chop rear fenders and maybe move rear axle back.

[skipnrocks]

Sounds like you have some work to do.  What wheel base are you looin for?    GL

[gotrocks]

why do you want to lengthen the wheelbase? I don't know if saw in my build but my total w/b is now 129.  My axle is moved forward about 6 inches.  I only did that to clear the firewall better.  It will take some time getting used to the longer wheelbase since I've never wheeled something longer than 109.  You will probably notice the difference in length too moving from your 4Runner to this.

Looks good with the new rubber. Get some motivation. the weather has been great the last couple days

[Doof]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Im not looking for any specific wheel base...

I don't know if saw in my build but my total w/b is now 129.  My axle is moved forward about 6 inches.  I only did that to clear the firewall better.  It will take some time getting used to the longer wheelbase since I've never wheeled something longer than 109.  You will probably notice the difference in length too moving from your 4Runner to this.

I dont want my 40s in the front fender and i dont want to tub the firewall and besides right now its too close to it and the rear i just want also out of the fender without chopping too much... With the bed hacked at the bottom how it is now it will be find. Right now it looks like the rear axle is too far forward anyway.

im not worried about wheelbase cause my runner was something like 106 and my old truck was something like 117 so... IDK. Right now my truck is at like 125 1/2 or something and a couple inches wont kill me too much. Its a completely different truck and i had to get used to it anyway a few more inches wont kill me to get used to on the trail. It already sucks trying to turn that  around in town so i know its going to suck just as worse on the trail. Im really not too worried.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
what a 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA  he would to...

It was Evan Bros-by if you didnt know...

[lilbuddy]

Oh I forgot to mention I also did the alignment today and the truck was... dun dun dun 2.5+ inches toed out!!! I couldnt even believe i stil lwas able to drive it 1000+ miles like that. Totally dumbfounded....

Its all good now. I think its a little bit off but at least theres no death wobble at 20mph. The death wobble was so bad i had to stop, air down my tires to 10psi then drive home and it was still pretty bad.

[ontherocks]

tires look sweet. you takin taco on snow run?

[skipnrocks]

Thats some pretty intense toe!  If you move the axle back a bit you wont have to worry about bobbing the bed either~

thats true?

[skipnrocks]

  If you move your rear axle back will you have to cut the rear fenders more to accomidate?  are you thinking maybe a comp cut?

[lilbuddy]

I dont need to move it back. I chopped the fender and i didnt even really cut it that much and i went and flexede it today and its all good.

Uhh yeah...

[lilbuddy]

Took it to my buddys shop today and got it lowered. Took out the bottom two leafs on the front 44044's amd took out the 5th leaf and the Over load on the rear chevy's.  It flexes so much better, it rides so much better and the truck dropped a couple inches. Also I moved the front axle forward an inch or two.

Heres some pics. Theyre from my cell phone so theyre a little blurry.
