the springs are still breaking in, nope no bindage on the shocks!

springs compress to flat and drop as far as the shackle will allow!! Maybe i will pull the rear shocks off and test it out, they dont seem to be binding at all though...

here are a couple playing at the pit today...

you are right about the rear springs binding....when you articulate the rear axle the springs twist and bind on themselves. johnny joint shackles are the way to go! they will free everything up and eliminate a huge ammount of the binding. all-poo sells them but all-poo sucks, i know summitracing.com sells the joint you would need to make the JJ shackle hanger yourself http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=CUR%2DCE9110&N=700+115&autoview=sku

Thats right, the spings are twisting alot..... i wanted to put the JJ's on in the first place but didnt have the money, now i wish i would have done it right off the bat!!! But no biggy, i'll have to get a set and i bet they will get a few more inches of flex for sure!! thanx for the link as well!!! $Beer Chug\'n$

Nice lookin 3rd gen!!!!!!!!!!

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #368 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 10:57:38 PM »

thanks for the compliments! Well little update:
I swapped out my boomerangs for 4.5'' straight shackles in the front and what a difference!! I had a intermittent DEATH WOBBLE from 30-40 mph.... after installing these the wobble is GONE and i gained way more flex! I forklift flexed it at the shop and had 40 inches to the rear tire before the other rear left the concrete!! I'm thinkin about pulling the leaf i added in the back to begin with out and making heim shackle mounts on the frame..... First week of April I will be getting those parts and ordering 5.29's and 2 aussie lockers

I am also going to pull my front pack apart, tear out three leafs and add one higher rate leaf to lower my flip plate to increase up travel and eliminate bumpstop bottoming out when i hit stuff over 5-6 mph..... think i can get away with the 14's up front but i might switch to 12's for more up travel.... but the way my springs are now they are very close to using ALL of the drop on the shocks!!! soo.... stay tuned for more updates at the end of the month! I turn 22 on the 31st so i will post some wheeling pics the next day!

I am also going to start working on my 82 sr5 2wd.... thinking about prerunner status........ or bags? but i'm more of an offroad guy so leaning towards the prerunner!

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #370 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 11:54:39 PM »

thats what i'm thinkin!! prerunner! i tried to tonight, it was too dark.... just a little flexin not much real wheeling... no frickin time!! i'm supposed to be taking my new lady friend out saturday/sunday so i'll get some good pics hopefully!! I want to go do some real wheeling but between work, school, and i had Ford PowerStroke training today and tomorrow for the new 6.4 ................... i'll get some posted up soon!!

THK Matt · « **Reply #371 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 11:59:51 PM »

Prerunner buddy! lol

So I have a wheeler man, we need to hit it up this summer.
yeah I am IFS, but that won't stop my ass.

i would bag it. with the money it would cost you to make into a desert runner you could link and coilover your crawler front and back. bags are cheap and easy. trucks lookin good by the way

you do have a point there...... I just gonna get it on the road in May for my DD so I can do more to the Twisted Toy and save some wear and tear on the old girl!

THK Matt · « **Reply #375 on:** Mar 12, 2009, 11:11:09 AM »

there ya go man. DD's are nice.

haha

Yeah i'll just weld the rear.

how the hell do you remove polls from your thread??

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #377 on:** Mar 12, 2009, 05:51:35 PM »

WELL I got out of PowerStroke training on the new 6.0 early today soooooo.....

I took the dogs wheelin out at Hover! I guess they didnt shut it down which was a nice surprise.... I had alot of time to take pics so enjoy!!!

TheCookieMonster · « **Reply #378 on:** Mar 12, 2009, 08:31:18 PM »

nice man

..she flexes like a champ for leaf springs $Beer Chug\'n$

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #379 on:** Mar 12, 2009, 10:56:10 PM »

thanks!

i was quite impressed in the difference the straight shackles made as opposed to the boomerangs! once i redo the rear shackle hangers with heim joints it will have more flex! Cant wait for 5.29's and lockers either

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #380 on:** Mar 15, 2009, 12:50:20 AM »

Well I've made my decision.....

Detriot/yukon 5.29's/solid spacer/HD pinion seal/triple drilled flange in the REAR
+ Aussie/yukon 5.29's/solid spacer/HD pinion seal/triple drilled flange in the FRONT
= $1650 (approx)
This will happen within the first two weeks of April.... after that the front axle is going bling bling

with Bobby Long 30 Splines and Chromo Hub gears........

I really need the gears and if I am going that deep I want a detriot out back and dont have cash for ARB or Elocker upfront so an Aussie shall sufice!

Let me know what you guys think! $Beer Chug\'n$

Getting there man looking good.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #382 on:** Mar 26, 2009, 10:24:24 PM »

well little update: Passed both classes this quarter; A- and an A..... stoked about that! Been wheelin the toy off and on when i get the time, thing just kicks ass!! But I need the lockers soon..... I set the correct preoload on the front wheel bearings yesterday and rotated the tires.... bearings had a little movement but not bad! Rides ALOT smoother, I am in need of tires big time, they are worn and some what out of round at certain times and the rubber is coming off in CHUNKS so.... if ANYBODY has a decent set of anything from 37's to 40's that they might want to make partial trade/cash or whatever let me know! If nothing comes up soon then I am going to get a set of 5 at least 38'' or more on credit and need to figure out what the hell to get!

THK Matt · « **Reply #383 on:** Mar 26, 2009, 10:27:40 PM »

just get a set of 5 on credit son!

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #384 on:** Mar 26, 2009, 10:30:12 PM »

what size and style..... I was almost thinking 38X12.50X15 TSL SX's............... But I kinda want IROKS........

82 HiLux · « **Reply #385 on:** Mar 26, 2009, 11:32:29 PM »

any aggressive tire will, really.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #389 on:** Mar 27, 2009, 09:00:10 PM »

yeah..... it will be less and less daily driving with it once May rolls around and I can drive my 82 2wd as the DD!! I really want Iroks..... 39.5's are SPENDY though...... hhhmmmmmmmmm........ too many choices.....

At the same time though if I go anything larger than a 37 I am going to have to tub my bed and my front fender wells as well.... its gonna happen sooner or later though! And along with that comes the 30 spline longs and chromo hub gears..... I love this money pit!!! HAHA! $Beer Chug\'n$
