Everything should be on in the next few weeks...I'm just trying to decide if I should wait until I can do the rear at the same time, or just do the front now and rear later.

Doesn't the extra weight of the tranfer case make a 4x4 noise dive when you jump it, or do you just stay on it a little longer at the lip.

i never noticed it nose diving any more so than it did before

the front diff is only like 150 lbs or so, its not gonna make much of a difference imo

the difference in control i have over the truck is amazing though

i was in 2wd when this happened, if i would have been in 4wd i wouldnt have gone into the ditch

It's not like the diff weighs a ton...only about 50# or so I'm guessing. The only times I've had my truck nose dive is off steep lips that kicked the back end up.

[mgyver1]

Upon further review, yes the first truck is a tacoma, but I was referring to the only pictures on this thread that have DMZ in the corner of each pic which is of a Nissan Titan. I hope you can see the confusion.
Example:
This one says DMZ in the photo
http://www.dmzfab.com/images/petefrontsm.jpg

This one does not. It does, however, say DMZ Fabrication in average size type font at the bottom of the poster's signature.
http://www.dmzfab.com/dr/chaosa.jpg
And it is hard to see the DMZ on the skid plate on my 17" monitor.


Sorry for the confusion on my part

Are you kidding me? That is Bob Shepard's PRERUNNER. Prerunner as in prerunning race courses with before the race. Bob Shepard won the Baja 1000 last year in Trophy Truck as well as the Trophy Truck points championships. That truck is a $300,000+ Geiser-built prerunner, basically a Trophy Truck with a cab and AC. There was a request for prerunner pics, I answered. And Shepard's truck is a FAR cry from the Disco trucks I see everyday where you live, particularly the ones in front of Custom Motorsports.

Yah it's custom, done by Troy Johnson of the Fab School.

I motion for the Prerunner folder to be changed to the "Desert" Folder. What tech questions could someone have about their 2WD Prerunner (the Toyota-deemed prerunner) that wouldn't apply in the 4x4 thread? Think about it.

Yeah that bumper is definately sick...and you're completely right about the prerunner folder, I made that suggestion a while ago and nothing ever came of it. 4x4 = PreRunner + front diff, cv's, etc...so i don't see why there are different folders either. With the growing population of LT guys on here, we definately need a LT folder. Hell the SAS guys get their own folder(s)...they've got 3 and we'd only need one...

With the growing population of LT guys on here, we definately need a LT folder. Hell the SAS guys get their own folder(s)...they've got 3 and we'd only need one...

x3... but i highly doubt things will change. this board is predominately rock crawling rigs and prerunning desert trucks are the minority.

x3... but i highly doubt things will change. this board is predominately rock crawling rigs and prerunning desert trucks are the minority.

I definitely realize that, but it doesn't make sense really to have a "Prerunner" folder, since there's nothing that Prerunners have that 4x4s don't, merely vice versa. So why not make it a "Desert", or "Long-travel", or "High-speed" folder, heck I don't care. It's obvious that there's quite a few desert guys and growing, so why not turn a wasted folder into something useful, since we all post in it anyway, even a few of us 4WD LT guys, and that way we wouldn't have to deal with tech questions that could be better answered in 4x4 tech (which gets more views anyway). I dunno, probabaly a lost cause. Maybe if we just flame the hell out of anyone who posts an innocent 2wd tech question, eventually we'll have the folder all to ourselves. :xdevil:

That depends if Mike would rather me lie or be honest...

[Baja Belk]

Is that the same Tundra I saw that lost the wheel when the lugnuts came off?

Yes...

That depends if Mike would rather me lie or be honest...

....and, to redeem myself, upon further teardown of the Tundra, it turns out that the fabricator/assembler of the rearend did not correctly machine the hubs, and the studs are all a hair misaligned (don't remember the exact #, but it's rather significant) in different directions, therefore the lugs do not seat correctly, leading to premature loosening.


In other words: Not entirely my fault (still probably should have checked the lugs when I was scoping out the "noise"), and would have happened again soon, but we're fixing it.

are you not able to run 35's because of the offset of the stock wheels would cause rubbing on the shock, if you ran different offset on some 16x8 wheels, say 4" do you think it would clear?

[YoTRacer158]

are you not able to run 35's because of the offset of the stock wheels would cause rubbing on the shock, if you ran different offset on some 16x8 wheels, say 4" do you think it would clear?

Like he said, he can't run 35's because he's running shocks outside the frame rails

[bigairrider01]

Like he said, he can't run 35's because he's running shocks outside the frame rails

but my question is it because of the offset of stock wheels is to close in, if he had 16x8 with say 4" backspacing or 3 5/8 i'm wondering if it would clear, with wider fenders too

i want to build my truck with the shocks outside of the frame with a tundra axle and 35's, 6" rear fenders, would have to have them custom molded though because there designed for the ex cab

I'm pretty sure glassworks has fenders for double cabs too. With the extra width of a tundra axle you might be able to fit everything with the shocks on the outside of the frame...I dont remember if he's running a tundra axle or not.

glassworks only offers a 4" flare for double cabs, that won't fit a tundra axle width, yeah bajarnr12 has a tundra axle

[Baja Belk]

Hmm...I responded to this earlier, I guess I didn't hit the button or something...


Yeah I've got a Tundra axle, and if I ran rims with shallower backspacing, I could probably clear the shocks with 35s, but then they wouldn't clear the fenders, as it is already a tight fit with the wider axle (the rear of the fenders are flared out a bit in the back to make it fit). So I figure I COULD make it work with wider fenders and different rims, but right now it's not really worth it.

the only reason i got the 35's was because it was cheap. i have a hookup on those terra grapplers and my regear labor cost was free. $135/tire and $150 for the gears was all it took so i said why not? if i had to pay retail, i would've just stuck with my 33's which were great too. you are right though, i will probably end up breaking more stuff.

lol thanks! i was happy with the result especially since my buddy only took two passes. usually i like to take a bunch of photos to be sure i get the right exposure and focus but it was too hot and i could not stand it.

those photos were taken at outlet center. from that little jump you can almost see kfc off in the distance. i'm running nitto terra grapplers because they were cheap for me. also, camburg seems to like them so i wanted to try them first hand.

Thanks for the pics, they're too cool!

thanks for the compliment on the photo :)

my friend was pushing 45mph tops right there. just before that little jump, there is a sizable whoop section that prevents the truck from picking up any more speed. The fastest I could get the truck up to was about 40-45mph.

[Juicy Jaos]

so tell me, how does it feel knowing that your sick prerunner pics are on millions of people's desktop as their background? hehe, keep those pictures coming bro!! lovin it. :D

haha thanks man! actually, i like the fact that some of you guys enjoy the photo more than the truck itself. anyone can build a truck like mine but not everyone can take the same photos. i'm more flattered that you guys like the photos.

mike with the dcab and mohawk? i think he can take pics of you too, right? isn't he a professional photographer?

we should all go out there sometime for photos. that jump has four lanes and all of you can jump it at the same time! that would be a fat photo. i guess i'll find out when my buddies at solo motorsports will head out there to test the race truck and we can set up a meet or something.

If you guys go before I get my truck back together I'm gonna hate you all. I have a problem in that most of the time I'm having too much fun to jump out and snap a few shots, and I really don't like the idea of someone else jumping my truck so I can take pictures... (juicy you're a brave soul)

Alright I'm usually free on weekends but like I said give me some notice and and I can take off a day of work my boss is pretty cool about it as long as he knows. Damn, 4 TC trucks jumping all at once will look pretty bad-ass though if you ask me...we just need a photographer cause I'm not letting anyone else jump my truck without me in it...

Dates I'm not free:
Aug 7-14
Aug 18-20

Those 35's look big in that picture, but it's still pretty damn sexy!
:jack:
Big, like too big? I thought it looked best with the 33x10.5's too, but I needed more ground clearance. These 35's on bead-locked 17's are freakin' HEAVY though. I've got another set of BFG's 255/85/16 MT's mounted on Alcoas that I'll probably end up running most of the time because they're almost as tall as the 35's, but they're a lot lighter.

[JESSE_at_TLT]

Nice...very nice. I especially like the outer hoop design on the cage, definitely a space saver in the single cabs. Sooo how about a newer pic? :p
Most of the work I've been doing lately isn't worth taking pictures of, putting the interior back together, running brake lines, hooking the wiring harness back up, etc. There are some more pictures of the fab work HERE (http://www.trailslesstraveled.com/news.php?id=60) though. I did get all the shocks mounted. I'll take some more pictures sometime this week.

[Tweeter]

Cool. Not TOO BIG just maybe the rear bedside needs a little more flare? it LOOKS like it's going to rip those fenders off but I'm sure that they won't just kind of looks that way. I think it looks sweet with the 35's though personally. Yea I'm going to use 33x10.5's on mine and hopefully mount them on some 15x8 beadlocks on my truck.

Oh yea and let me know how you like the Baja Bushings I'm interested in getting my hands on some when I put my 62's on...

[JESSE_at_TLT]

Oh, the rear. I just installed a Tundra-width Diamond FF rear axle, so those 35's would definitely rip the besides apart. I could barely tuck 35's with the stock-width rear end. I'm going to clearance them for now (just cut them out higher), but I haven't decided whether to make new/wider bedsides or just run it naked. I don't mind the way the tubework looks and I hit those bedsides on every damn trail we run (notice the chunks missing).

I live in SoCal...I'm only is SLO a few times a month

There's a chance I'll get all the front end stuff this saturday...so with a little help i can have everything on in less than 2 weeks...only problem is i have no idea when the rear end will be done.

Nice pics of the trucks fellas!! That TTORA TC meet at barstow will be a bitchen session for sure.

I noticed that Jesse is the only one with a cab cage. Do the rest of the guys plan on caging their truck?

[Juicy Jaos]

whoever wants to organize this mini-meet should start a thread in the events forum. i suck at organizing things like this but i will definitely be there in the HEAT taking photos, hahah. time to buy a new speedo. my schedule is pretty flexible right now. once i start my new job next month then i will only be free on weekends and holidays.

i want to get roughly 50+ photos of each truck so you guys can end up with a handful of pristine photos. for instance, the most recent photo i posted of my truck jumping can be printed out full poster size (24"x36") and come out really clean.

[lasquintanas]

I would say there will no discrimination...bring everyone--camburglars and all! Just don't be pissed if the TC guys pose together without ya. I guess it's better that juicy runs camburg...that way he can take the pictures! :D

i want to get roughly 50+ photos of each truck so you guys can end up with a handful of pristine photos. for instance, the most recent photo i posted of my truck jumping can be printed out full poster size (24"x36") and come out really clean.

Check the Other Club Events section, i'll start one.

[YoTRacer158]

I plan on caging my truck as soon as the suspension is done. It will definately be nice to get some good pictures of my truck in action, I can bring mine too which takes pretty decent videos.

[Tweeter]

Mine will be caged bumper to bumper putas :D

[lasquintanas]

Mine will be caged bumper to bumper putas :D

Hey! No need for the latin profanity! I'm on your side dick! ;)

[JESSE_at_TLT]

Are you still planning on having Nate do all that work?

[yota4lyfe]

Nice pics of the trucks fellas!! That TTORA TC meet at barstow will be a bitchen session for sure.

I noticed that Jesse is the only one with a cab cage. Do the rest of the guys plan on caging their truck?

Nah I got Airbags and a Hat. http://www.extremesupply.com/images/troyleedesigns/2006/SE3XMatteBlack.jpglol

[Juicy Jaos]

I would say there will no discrimination...bring everyone--camburglars and all! Just don't be pissed if the TC guys pose together without ya. I guess it's better that juicy runs camburg...that way he can take the pictures! :D

HA-HA, very funny. someone always has to mention the racial issue whether with good intentions or bad. you better knock on wood! so far my the front has held together (including the stock motor mounts). i'd hate to see someone break something *cough.. total chaos... cough* because they jinxed themself! lol

I think so....

[Baja Belk]

Oh and Nicole's gonna be pissed if you guys do this after the new catalog/website comes out...

Is that Nicole from TC? if so I met her in Baja a few weeks ago, she tried to sell me a bunch of stuff:D I'm too cheap though so i managed to score a free steeecker.

Mike[/QUOTE]

Yah, she said she was going fishing and asked me if I wanted to run with them, but I'm truckless at the moment. :( I've been reduced to driving my mom's old Mercury Mountaineer..... :xcrybaby: (Hey maybe I'll just huck that bad boy out there with you guys :rolleyes: ) Oh well, going to Loreto next week to kill alot of dorado and hopefully snag a few sailfish :xrocker: (Um and that would be the most smiley's I've ever used in a post......I'm embarrassed)

[Baja Belk]

Bajarnr, how long before it's to late to submit pictures to Nicole since you seem to know here well.

Sorry, July 4th was the deadline for catalog, but send her a cd with hi-res pics and she'll throw them on the website, though you may have to wait a bit to see them up. (you can call anyway and see if she can still use pics)

Next summer. For now I'm gonna stick with the "remember, no cage dumbass" sticker on the visor.

[Baja Belk]

When I get the time I'm gonna shoot Shannon a PM and direct him to this thread and/or start a new thread on the main forum throwing up the idea.

[Baja Belk]

And, lastly, um, I didn't realize you guys were so gung-ho to get out there and die in the heat. I was thinking more along the lines of Sept, Oct; partially for weather reasons, but mostly cuz I won't be able to make it before then. My motor won't be done till probably mid to end of August, and it'll take another week or two to put everything back together, plus I'm so swamped with a million other things this summer, all that I have to finish before August 3rd cuz I'm getting my tonsils out, then I'm apparently gonna be down for 2 weeks then I go to Vegas for a weekend then I'm back at school, and I'll be busy the first few weekends. I would stop on my way to Vegas but I HIGHLY doubt the truck's gonna be done by then. But that's just me, do whatever works best for the majority of the guys.

Also, I haven't checked yet, but in my opinion I'd advise against throwing this in the events folder. It seems like everyone who would belong/be wanted out there is reading this thread anyway, and if you open the invite to everyone you might get some guys out there thinking it's a "TTORA RUN" who want to crawl around and stop every 30 seconds to take a picture of their body-lifted truck on a rock or want Juicy shooting them getting an inch of air, etc, etc. Also, you don't really want 50 trucks out there, especially for Juicy if he's taking pics of everyone. No time for him to drive around in the dirt. I dunno, not to sound discriminating or anything, but I think it would be more fun with not more than a dozen or so desert trucks. And I'm not saying "long travel only", I know some guys here wheel their "mid-travel" trucks harder than most LT guys (Mike, RJ, Paul (rojo) to name a few). Anyway, my 2 cents. (kinda long, sorry)

Well I met a friend of a friend tonight...awesome guy. He said he can get my fenders/bedsides painted for free, and said he could build me a cage for free...dont even have to pay for tubing :) Talk about a hookup! Saw some of his work and it's fukcing nice...looks like a machine did it.

Well I met a friend of a friend last night...one of those guys that's good to know. He owns a sign business, and said to bring my truck in and he'd get all the fiberglass painted for no charge. But the best part, he said he can fab me up an in-cab cage for no charge, not even for the cost of tubing. He's got an old chevy in his front yard that he's getting ready to cage front to rear and his welds look like they were done by a machine. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked!

[Tweeter]

Did you ever get around to calling Gabe?

Brian

Brian Katz? Is that you? No I never did Drew with the white ranger gave me his number I've been busy you work for him right?

I also agree with Mike about the LT/Mid travel guys only, no offense to everyone else

Nice, very clean.

[Juicy Jaos]

well whoever goes, i will try to shoot everyone. i don't care about not getting to drive my own truck too much. i really want to change the motor mounts and strap on the 62's before i continue to pound on her.

lol

[Trunks Only]

Really well, thanks. Front was no problem at all. Cycles every last bit of 13". Shocks seem to work really well together. Although I'm waiting until next week to set up the rear when I have 5 days in a row off. That ought to be enough time. Then I'll really take it for a test run. Check your Pm's though, I had a question about the ABS and don't want to hijack.

[BLOWNYOTA]

Id like to be there but not if it is in the next month or so. I had enough of the summer desert this year. I know its hard to plan, but is always nice to be there just after the first rain....

Keep posting here I agree that it would be easier to deal with the LT crowd. Most of the guys with LT are more experienced (safer), and that would be important if there were 8+ trucks running.

[Tweeter]

Valid point, most of us have a lot of experience but it's Barstow...you really need to watch your shit there, it's one of the roughest places I've ever been by far

Drew you need to link your truck or something so we can throw you rear end on mine. There's a good chance I'll get my front end stuff this weekend...so we might have to install that next weekend when i'm up if I dont have it on before then.

[mgyver1]

.....then I go to Vegas for a weekend ....

Hey, give me a call, I'll buy you dinner. Remeber I still owe you big for haulin' my bumper to Primm last year.

...especially if only a few of the trucks are running dust lights haha. when we did that lucerne to barstow run on the DR forum, only two guys out of 10 had them. i couldn't see shit and i luckily avoided some rear end collisions and drifted a few high speed turns without rolling.

True that. But mainly watch your own speed and keep an eye out, I was cruising a whoop section at about 50 for 1/4 mile then out of nowhere the last 2 were bigger and spaced further, if there had been a 3rd I would've been close to going end over end

ya, i guess just drive below your limits. i was trying to keep up with the solo race truck and i could only go about 50mph through sections they were doing 100mph. even if i was driving their truck, i still wouldn't be able to do the shit they do. i love life too much haha.

I really don't drive my truck that hard very often but I know my limits and the truck's limits too so I don't push them, especially in Barstow!! ;) You should take a ride with Rojodiablo, now HE definitely pushes the limits with his truck and I needed a new pair of pants after the first time I rode with him out in Calico, don't think I'll ever forget that! :eek:

Ever gotten a chance to ride with Drew (bownyota)? My first experience in his truck was doing 90mph out at the dunes AT NIGHT when his truck just had Donahoes...

[Juicy Jaos]

i'd rather do 90 at the dunes at night than chase a built race truck in a cloud of dust at night doing 50 with quick tight turns and huge ruts.

I'd rather drive during the day cause I'm night blind while driving anywhere but Superstition Mt...:rolleyes:

I made my co-driver puke in his helmet at the 500 if that counts...

Well thanks but you don't have to; I got paid. Then again, we've supposedly got hookups for the hotel, clubs, and a UFC fight (if there is one), so maybe I'll snag a dinner and milk the freebies... ;)

:lmao: no but seriously there's a reason you don't see aux lights or a lightbar on my truck...lol

[YoTRacer158]

Just finished installing my besides...I wanted to wait for help from someone who has done them before, but I'm not the most patient person. I figured I was jumping head first into a pile of shit, but they came out pretty damn good. The driver side is giving me some trouble around the tail light area, but I should be getting everything painted soon and I'll clean up everything when they come back off. I'll get some pics up this weekend.

[yota4lyfe]

I ended up going to Barstow to escape the HEAT. It was nice and cool out there and it rained just enough to make it Tacky and dustless. Couldn't ask for better conditions. I met up with STR8XEDGE.http://www.ttora.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=5008 His truck is SicK. He's runnin the same tires as Juicy. I like them. STR8XEDGE thanks for the highspeed run home. You kept me awake rollin over 100 all the way!
