Congrats on the bumper, Mike. Looks good!

 

Thanks guys!

I made a seperate thread on the bumper because they're a bit rare nowadays due to the shipping wait period they make you go through...

YEAHHHHH! That bumper looks great! Multi-purpose-YotaLove! lol.

 

Love your rig! great build.

 

Thanks man.

 

Fixed my leaky air intake hose:

Before:


After:

 

Added a sticker that i should have put on a year ago.





I need to get another 2010 and i should have some 2011s by september

 

Loaded down for camping:



Gear: 4 Totes filled with gear, a shotgun, ammo, cooler, igloo, and tent equipment

Cant wait to get my rear springs!

 

Rig is looking fantastic, man! That's not too bad of a sag, considering you probably have TONS of stuff in there, right? lol.

Like the sticker!

Cool on the air leak fix. Was it causing 'issues'? (obviously it caused 'unmetered' air to get in.... I just mean, was it missing and such?)

 

i keep having a fluctuating idle... i thought maybe it was that... but its not. so who knows? im gonna top of my coolant, and check for leaks else where.

 

Nicccccccce! What happened to thr custom intake? Too loud?

 

it wasn't smog legal, justin lol

 

O lol yeah smog... Lol sucks dude bunch of assholes haha like the air in cali still lokks like garbage even with all this smog crap

 

California is amazing. the smog laws only apply to people that live in the valley... the reason we have smog laws is because of all the god damn traffic

 

looks good. where u get the sticker? i need one for this year too

 

trip from this weekend:
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f100...8-11-a-240480/

Didn't even rub with all that weight in the back but Im definitely gonna lift it anyway.

 

Just did an over haul of my truck from the damage this weekend. I'll post some pictures soon! its nothing extensive and most people are gonna be like "meh, who cares" lol

But anyways, After the last trip, it really got me thinking that the runner is needing some suspension attention. Thinking of ordering:

OME 901 Coils
OME N72F Rear Shocks
ALL-PRO DOT approved stainless steel brake line extensions
4-CRAWLER panhard drop bracket
4-CRAWLER LSPV relocation bracket.

and as for the front, Im thinking of doing the SAW torsion bars ( bare metal so I can powdercoat them yellow and match the OME LIFT ) I haven't really decided what else to do with it.

Gonna call around here in a minute to get tax/shipping numbers so I can get a total.

 

Saw?

Glad you didn't get hammered(your rig) out there! lol.

Thanks, mak,.... you actually reminded me that I need some of these things to be safer than sorrier in the rear... Plus, I need to get rid of my Rancho's if I can find a good deal on some longer "ANYTHING ELSE'' 's, lol.

I'm hearing lately of some "coil" for yours that others with your 2nd gens prefer to OME(Not that OME was bad, ...just that this one allowed more flex or something? ) Just can't remember,..... musta been on here, I guess, hahaha.

 

SAW = Sway-a-way torsion bars. they're like 24-25mm ( biggest made ) I want them because my truck is heavy up front. the heavy v6, TJM front bumper, skid plate, IFS brace, and eventually a winch.

I think you're refering to LC coils. and They're pretty sweet. I just want something that can hold the weight of my truck and still give lift. OME 901 HD coils can handle up to 350 lbs and still offer 3" of lift. this is what I need since my rear bumper is 165lbs by itself... with a tire and a full jerry can. it weighs a ton. and with my camping gear, its gonna be around 350 lbs, easily... maybe even more. AND on top of all of that I want to put a roof rack on the truck ( full steel rack that covers the whole roof and with a light bar ) so the rig definitely needs to handle some of the weight.

 

Wow, ...sounds like a solid plan then, homie! lol. BTW, ....I'd forgotten about the weight of that bumper... THAT SICK, SWEET, BA BUMPER! lol.
