Haven’t posted about the truck in a bit. Spent some time dialing in the toe, truck had a bit to much toe in but got that sorted out. Had to shorten my driveshaft another 1/2” cause apparently at full bump you want somewhere in the range of 1/2” 3/4” of more plunge to account for flex and...

Dialing in these dual brake master cylinder’s utilizing the factory steering column mount was a chore but here’s the final product.

It was so fun to drive it but then i was like damn i need to make this right

Well I’ve been driving the truck for about a week. The brake master cylinder set up I had in there sucked this thing wouldn’t stop. It’s a 2 port single master 1” bore.. anyways par for the course for me I like to learn the hard way lol I started to weigh my options and here’s what I’ve come up...

Yah that’s the plan! I’ve got the material. I’ve also got a marine sending unit off Amazon that I’m gonna incorporate into the cell. Plan is to put the filler neck just above the license plate. I was trying to get it running and going to possibly test it out this weekend but shit isn’t cooperating 😂

Here’s some final details! Fire extinguisher mount, license plate mount, max trac mounts. The truck drove like shit cause it was only running on 5 cylinders so I took apart the plenum and plan to test these injectiors and see what’s going on cause it wasn’t firing on cylinder #1

Here’s the access panel / cup holder / phone holder

Haven’t posted in a couple weeks but I’ve been chipping away at getting this thing ready for Presidents’ Day weekend. Stainless hairline for the fuel breather ran, aux beam installed (Chinese switch pros lol) center counsel finalized and mounted. Exhaust all 2.5” stainless, carpet is in as well...

Your truck is legit! Definitely taken some inspiration from you guys hopefully we can get a trip in before summer

Here’s some pics of the truck with the front glass mounted. I jacked up the front of the truck to put the bumps stops on so it’s sitting kinda funny. I got the interior mostly put together as well. Waiting on a carpet kit then I’ll put the seats in. I welded on a cool lil bracket to hold the...

I set the bumps up with 50 psi and the shocks with 150 psi think that’s a good starting point?

I appreciate the explanation! Makes sense I realize I explained it wrong, the shock was a little over a 1/8” or so longer so I was seeing metal to metal on the shock before my bump stop was fully collapsed so I added that shim to compensate vs cutting off that bump stop and lowering it...

For any of you curious of how the shifter mounts in the center counsel here’s some pics

Oddly enough both prerunner series. One is a standard shock the other is a IBP so maybe that’s why? There both 2.5x12”

I forgot that Friday night I had a guy come out and put in a fresh windshield. The back window frame was cut right where the slider ends. Since it bolts in it’s in there nice and tight. Between the 2 seams where it’s cut I put black Rtv. I had to remove the old shitty faded out purple tint.
