Honestly, I haven't been keeping up with the TF2 builds except Kila's. But after seeing your "jumping" thread, decided to check out your build. Now want one! Great Job |

nice build man, i built mine last night and did the chino mods to the leafs and running shooter shackles in the rear..i,m not sure how much difference it made..i was wondering how useing the bruiser mounts and changing the rear hanger helps or why change the rear hanger?..i,m guess the leafs have a different arc/length? thanx |

These things are sweet, truck turned out awesome Mike! NO SNORKEL!! just looks so much cleaner without it These kits are sweet, but one thing that is bugging me, is the rear bumper crooked or anything? The more I look at it, the more it looks crooked, or off in some way. I cant place my finger on it, but it sure catches my eye everytime I look at the pics. Other than that, SICK truck! Really making me want one now |

Hey Mike, you inspired me to get some stompers after seeing how sick your truck looks with them on along with all the other work you did, my question though is how did you manage to get rid of the tire rub on the lower wheel wells while compressing the front end? I have a ubolt kit coming front and rear and have been advised that it will allow me to get the axles moved on the leafs to center or push the axle forward front and rear, can thin hexes help or will they cause more issues than its worth? Thanks Kurt.

Kurt, My truck is running rather custom suspension. Using the bruiser leaf hangers in the front pushes the axle forward I then still slid the axle forward on the leafs so my wheel base is stretched much like you do on a real toyota. My 1:1 4Runner is actually stretched when I did the SAS. The rear suspension is bruiser leafs which are longer so I also had to slide it forward slightly on the leafs. Even right from the factory I noticed the tires tuck more towards the rear of the well then to the center. You can also always do a lil scale fender trimming as well .

Thanks man, I figured as much and I am aware of the bruiser suspension you have just wasn't sure what your situation was. Are you running the thin hexes too? Thx

TRUCK IS SICK! Someone needs to photo chop a picture of the OG in its best state, the clone in its best state, and a still picture of this one, all in one picture!! Now that would be tits. |

So I have been wanting to get back out to the inlet to test out the new wheel combo so I headed out to the beach today. I was looking forward to running the really cool rock face line I had found by the water edge but when I got there they moved some the rocks around to block vehicles from getting to close to the coast guard tower and one of the moved rocks was the badass one I was looking to crawl Soooo I made the best of with what I had available. I shot a lot of pics, these are the few i think came out the best If only that one piece of sea weed wasnt there The tires I glued with shoe goo. The back bead is glued completely around and the front are only glued in 2 spots. They held great today! So much so that even when wheel hopping and really pushing it, it blew a shaft instead of loosing a bead |
