mine still does it with the set screw turned allll the way in. so goodluck.

[Halladay]

just got my mc007 dual addapter with the 10 degree clock! but it didnt come with the shifter knob!!!

[Halladay]

ok so most of you know im about to start my duals and flat belly. whats the best way to flat belly my rig? (remember it has a three in body lift) i ordered the front rage offroad crossmember and skid plate combo and going to lift the tranny and t-cases that way but then my motor is at a angle. anyone heard of extended motor mounts?  or know of anyone making them?

[runner88]

How about this:

[Halladay]

cool thanks for that one. you think thats a good way to do it

[Halladay]

got the front locked up now with birf eliminators. picked them up for 300 with the super joints

[toyotanner]

if you go flatbelly you have to raise the motor if you plan on driving it on the road otherwise your tcases will chatter

[Halladay]

so that means i have to extend my motor mounts

[toyotanner]

yeah or buy the 4crawler ones

[Halladay]

I looked at that first picture of your truck on the build a couple times and found out that i have seen that truck before at the bottom of the hill thats my property right behind it lol Nice truck by the way

[GrenadedToy]

Thats a cool cage setup but it would be cooler if you built your own.

[Halladay]

really lol thats were my build started at my uncles house off holcomb blvd. thats were i didall my motor work now i do everything at my place. you got a build up

[Halladay]

ya i know but for 200 bucks i couldnt pass it up. i would have spent more in tubing... let alone a bender, wire, gas, and time lol

[toyota_smasher]

no i dont i was going to start one a while back but never did i have pics of it on my myspace if you want to see it. Do you live in oregon city? i havent seen the truck sense it left the backyard lol

[Halladay]

yea send me a link.... and no i live outside gladsone off riveroad

[toyota_smasher]

http://www.myspace.com/justinrebholz I found your myspace off one of my friends and i sent you a friend request

[Halladay]

ok

[Halladay]

Here is pictures of the cage set on my truck. i still need to cut off my old bumper and cut my fenders to match the bottom tube on it. What do you guys think? paid 200. i know it would have been cooler if i made it myself but i would have been into it that much in tubing. let alone wire and gas for my welder. and a tubeing bender or i should say kinker

[hilux-1983]

 

[Halladay]

worth the 200 bucks you think?

[hilux-1983]

You said it best on post #48. I agree!

[Halladay]

thanks man. good investment in my eyes. its a first for me seeing a exo caged dd let alone driving one haha

[Halladay]

im going to lower the front of the cage down a couple inchs as well as tuck the rear closer to the cab. im going to grind down the guys welds that i bought it from and re-weld it cause he ARC welded the whole cage lol

[LilChief87]

its gunna look good when its done

[Halladay]

for sure i got some pics im going to put up in a little bit. i grinded all the welds and re did them and painted it

[LilChief87]

when you gettin it all the way mounted and done 

[GrenadedToy]

im going to grind down the guys welds that i bought it from and re-weld it cause he ARC welded the whole cage lol

I really dont think you need to do this. Those welds arent bad and from what I remember Arc welders get better penetration than MIG.

[Dingman.]

It depends if the welder knew what they were doing.

If the welds are good i wouldn't worry about it.
Whats the ratchet strap for?

Ive seen a lot worse and they arent bad welds. I just think it might be a waste of time to grind every weld down and reweld em up.

Ratchet strap was holding it down.
