Who is doing the gear box? I need a spare 5 speed i have, looked at to see if it needs a rebuild or not

ExOtoy535 · 04-17-2012, 09:01 PM

Andrew.. He worked at Adams for like 5 years(or something like that) and now he does it on his own.

ExOtoy535 · 04-19-2012, 08:01 AM

My bad. Lol. The rumor is he is really good and Adams swears by him but I haven't got my truck back yet. He said the parts were a little hard to come by. So I'm not sure how happy I am with him yet. His #7028827568

ExOtoy535 · 04-19-2012, 08:02 AM

He said the parts should be here Friday and the truck should be back in my hands first of next week. I can wait

How the tranny now?

ExOtoy535 · 06-20-2012, 11:47 PM

What's going on guys? It's been a while sense I've been on here. I've been super busy with work and a few other things. Update on the taco. Got the windows tinted, wheels and tires. I went with the method true bead locks with bfg km2 MUDs. I got the wheels powder coated gold with the rings black. Im dropping the truck off this week to get the bent pinion shaft changed. Other then that all is good. Once I get that done I would love to get the new tires in the rocks. Hope all is good with everyone.

Absolutely Badass my friend!

ExOtoy535 · 06-21-2012, 10:22 PM

Thanks man.

Truck is looking good. Of course I liked the truggy you had a few years ago

Joe's Toy · 06-22-2012, 11:51 AM

I need to get my 4runner out in the rocks. I don't think I'll be able to follow you but maybe you can teach me a thing or two. Are you serious about going out?

Thanks. I miss that old truck. The plan once I get my shop done is to build a beast out of the 4runner.

I really want to get it out in the rocks. Hopefully it will be out of the shop this week then i will try and plan something. Im sure we can find some good trails that will be fun and not to crazy

Ludedude · 06-26-2012, 09:04 PM

Nice work Jesse. Seriously badass vehicle. I don't think i've seen the runner before though.

Ask and you shall recieve.

Ludedude · 06-26-2012, 11:55 PM

Ah nice. Looks like it's related to Jeff's runner

DWreck · 06-26-2012, 11:56 PM

Now you're just bragging....Lol

Badass rigs man. When you gonna build a pre-runner tho?

ExOtoy535 · 06-27-2012, 07:30 AM

Yeah it's similar to Jeff's runner. His is complete though.

A prerunner is next on the list after I get the 4runner all buttoned up. I was kind of thinking about building a Baja bug. But that's a ways out either way. How did the race go last weekend?

Baja Big FTW!

It went good! Plenty of stuff to do, including pulling one out of a tree!

Who knows. Guess we will see when the time comes. Damn one was stuck in a tree? Crazy but a good time I'm sure...

I started messing around with installing my mids and highs last night. The magnets are so much bigger on the new speakers I had to make 3/4 " spacer/adapters

Bad news is once I went to put the door panel back on it didn't clear the speaker. But if my measurement are correct I should be able to off set the inner circle so it will clear. Guess I will find out tonight.

ExOtoy535 · 06-27-2012, 11:06 PM

A little update on stereo. The new rings worked out great with the offset. I also got both of the front tweets mounted

ExOtoy535 · 06-28-2012, 10:34 PM

Made some more progress today. Mounted the rear components. All I have left is wire it all up.

ExOtoy535 · 07-10-2012, 12:50 PM

Little update on the truck. After the gear box and tranny mess I had to put a new clutch in. I knocked it out last Friday. When I pulled it apart the TOB felt pretty rough but not horrible. After getting it put back together she shifts like a new truck. I drop it off at the shop a week from Monday to get the pinion bearing and or bent pinion shaft changed out. Then it will be time to wheel

Just picked up my twin stick boot mount from the machine shop. It turned out good. I'll post a pic when I get it mounted tonight

ExOtoy535 · 07-11-2012, 09:59 PM
