He's in Graham, I'm on Ft Lewis. I gave the wheels/tires to him, had to get rid of them and was deploying so was short on time. I don't know if he's interested in selling them. But you could test them out. These are the pics I posted them with when for sale, They just sit at his house.

Sorry man, my parents dont like the idea of 33s because the last ones rubbed. They never listen to me

2DoorRunner · 11-03-2009, 06:37 PM

Time to get a job and make your own decisions.

Hey! not cool!

I have a job at an autoshop, my parents are just totally anal about some stuff.

DethYota · 11-03-2009, 07:52 PM

Having a job is a good start. Be very very patient with building up. I am lucky enough to have a great girlfriend that keeps me from buying every little thing off of craigslist. Don't want to go broke now

The low range place has the dual case plate from Trail Gear (same as Wabbit) and they also have the single case skids from Budbuilt.

I have a Budbuilt and love it, fantastic quality. I also upgraded that to a dual case plate in anticipation of eventually having dual cases. You can do that too by purchasing directly from Budbuilt if you like. The TG plate is already a dual case plate. Now that I have a 4.7 low gear, I may not ever go to duals so... we shall see. I haven't had an opportunity to see a TG crossmember in person. Many on this board rag on TG quality but I have plenty of TG parts on my truck with no problems whatsoever. One difference I see on the parts is that the TG is a single piece of metal so you may need to remove it for some items of work on your t case. The Budbuilt has a plate that bolts to the crossmember and can be removed for easier access to the t case. On the other hand I have heard of folks with issues of getting that Budbuilt plate unbolted in areas that actually have weather (not a problem for me in AZ) because the bolts get frozen/rusted in place. Check with Wabbit about the TG plate as I'm trying to determine this from a relatively small pic with relatively old eyes and I could have it all wrong. Good luck.

There's alot of rebadging in the feild of truck parts. If you shop around you can find some killer deals. Especially on trailgear they make a fortune on their stuff because of being produced overseas so much so that TG limits the discount that distibutors can give, so some make it up by giving an approved discount and say free shipping. But don't go posting it all over tarnation as the distibutors who don't do such things complain and can cost the guy cutting you some slack his contract with TG. Yes its happened. And don't go complaining to trailgear neither that you can get their products cheaper for this guy neither, cause that's hadn't too.

Thanks! You just did all my work for me. I noticed all the 30 spline aussies have the same part number. What is the IFS brace for? Does it just make it more durable or something? I havent seen them before.

BLKNBLU · 11-03-2009, 09:43 PM

EDIT: On the Aussie, just make sure you don't get the one for the 6 cyl by accident.

Exactly. You can potentially bend or otherwise booger up the rear of your IFS if you come down hard on it because there is no brace/crossmember like in the front. The brace fixes that. Downey used to make them before they went belly up and that is what I had. It was pretty cheesy compared to the Sonoran Steel piece but I got mine before Steve started making his. That said, it seemed to do it's job. Below is a pic of my front and rear braces, removed during SAS. They are beat to crap but my truck stayed aligned etc.

murdarunna19 · 11-03-2009, 09:50 PM

if my parents did that to me id kill em.

im 16 check my sig for my runner thread. nothing crazy but its nice and still gets me places wheelin.

Thanks, and i just did some research, and it really seems like a good investment. I wouldnt order the wrong aussie, im sort of OCD about that stuff

, but thanks anyway.

EDIT: Thats amazing how well those held up.

Damn, did you buy your 4rnr yourself? or did your parents get it? I paid for alot of mine but they still say its theirs.

2DoorRunner · 11-03-2009, 10:19 PM

Oh, and i almost forgot to tell you guys, i finally got my yotatech shirt yesterday!

2DoorRunner · 11-08-2009, 11:37 AM

Got the wheels on friday, i just got them cleaned up. EDIT: They need to have a little buffing compound taken to them.

All they need is the center piece of the valve stems.

1stgen4gunner · 11-08-2009, 12:34 PM

ALRIGHT!!!
Pretty soon your gonna have a horrible disease. The wheelin' bug...DADADUM!
Symptoms:
1. Frequenting Yotatech (I still got a chevy, and I am still on Yotatech, don't worry I am looking for another yota)
2. Staying awake to late hours of the night thinking about lockers n' such
3. Paying for upgrades with your credit card (if you have one) that you cannot possibly afford, hey it's like free money right?
4. Notice a very high bank account number, then realize the negative sign in front of that number.
5. Your GF, Relatives, and friends who do not have the bug, will constantly be changing the subject because all you can think about is your truck and what your planning on doing to it next.

There are indeed more, you have to watch out, there is no vaccination for this disease.

I literaly do all that right now, and i have to say, it really effects my grades

BigBluePile · 11-08-2009, 03:07 PM

toyotabull · 11-08-2009, 03:20 PM

Yeah if i dont have anything else going. So what exactly is it? I know we bring toys for kids, but is it like a car show we would be in?

BigBluePile · 11-08-2009, 06:15 PM

Yup, basically. But it's also a great way to put names to faces and hang out while vital22re sets up camp and makes hotdogs! Plus we'd like to get as many Yotatechers there too! Besides, its a great cause to boot!
