I'm headed down to smorr today. See you there.

 

I'm hoping to head that way tomorrow morning.

 

Well it looked good for a couple of days anyway.

 

Looks good! That bobbed bed looks perfect. Are you still going to get a exo built for it?

 

wheres the exo ? and that doesnt sound to good . "Well it looked good for a couple of days anyway." wheres the pics. The truck came out great man ..

 

Man that thing is looking great. Must be a blast to drive around.

 

fair enough on a lighter engine, very nice build, might be there one day but for now ill stick with replaceing stock parts XD

 

 

Oh man! You can only keep a Yota clean for so long lol. Too bad that exo wasnt on it yet

 

Oh man !! oh well your good with body work no big deal

 

Those were my thoughts too. Besides, I was so happy with the mechanical performance that it offset any bad thoughts about the body damage. I knew it would get dinged up....just not so fast.

 

yea !Hahah!were you able to get any videos of her ? it doesnt look that bad.. glass is all there, it looks like.

 

Ahhh looks like you were having too much fun! One thing about the V8, you'll be driving a LOT faster which can get us into trouble. I'm glad it was a low speed tip over. How much air did you have in those tires? Looks like they would bounce you right over.

 

No videos yet. I guess my friends an I are too poor to buy one.

I had about 10 psi. I think bouncing is what caused the flop. That hill is a lot more off camber than it looks.



Just went on it's 3rd wheeling trip since finishing the swap and the power steering is definitely becoming a problem. Mainly going down hill. The Lexus pump just isn't as strong as the truck's was. If I keep it in a lower gear to raise the rpms it helps but hydro assist is a must if going any bigger than a 35" tire. I think the auto transmission changes the way you have to wheel a bit too. Before when I had a stick and needed more power assist you could feather the clutch a bit to get the rpms up without increasing velocity. That don't work with a automatic.

I guess I need to either speed up my plans for my linked FJ80 front axle swap or just install the hydro assist on the current axle.

 

i think you've graced us with a photo or two here. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f147...eeling-243793/
next time we're out i'll get some video of your truck.

 

Too bad about your truck man, looks like you were having fun but too bad that exo wasn't finished yet...but at least you weren't hurt! That is always good...

 

" No videos yet. I guess my friends an I are too poor to buy one." ohh come on man .. nowadays you can get super cheaap cameras at walmart for $20 ..

 

Mightymouse has a really good camera that I think does video too but I was the trail leader the other day and I'm also kind of impatient. That equals no movies.

I've been trying to get another buddy to go with us for some time now that is really into making amateur wheeling videos but his truck has been down forever and my gf gets first dibs on the passenger seat. Hope to get out again before christmas.

 

Love your truck, must be insane with very little weight of the regular cab, and the 1UZFE.
