That was a lot of fun catching up on all this! Sorry I've been so busy buddy. Sorry about that snapping of the shaft as well. That sucks! Are those the gears you got when you called me on the other ones?... Holy metallurgical hamburgers! Lol. I saw a first gen pick up with one of those Refrax the other day. It doesn't look too bad. You can definitely tell though that they are more modern. Keep up the good work buddy, that's a lot of fun to read! Just stop breaking stuff! Lol.

 

Hey guys.. thanks fir the compliments. Chef I am breaking my driver CV every time I go out now. I think I found the culprit today tho.. dry rotted bushings on the front 3rd lol.. that thong was moving all around under there... and yep those were the gears lol

 

Are you not using the bump stops that came with the kit?

Usually ifs doesnt have that much up travel What is stopping the travel?

I would be cautious overtraveling the upper ball joint. (edit, OR the CV)

I like the lift though!

 

Looking at the bottom pic, it looks like he didn't install the lower bump stop extensions z. If that's the case, the only things stopping the up travel would be the shock or upper ball joint.

 

Exactly... I had the bumps on there but they limited my worse then a sway bar...

 

You really need a bump stop of some kind. Trust me you dont want the upper ball joint being hammered on and maxed out, you be ok if they are toyota ball joints but any others will slowly be bent out of shape until the ball can pull through.

maybe just cut down the bumps a little?

 

My front suspension is all factory equipment... I still have the upper BS tho.. so I'm limited on down travel but not on up travel.

 

Well after breaking two front axles in less then 48 hours I had to diagnose the issue. My culprit was a busted bushing.. its fixed now

 

 

ha nice xterra rack! actually looks alright, nice work

 

I think I saw your truck goin through ripley today! Its looking good.

 

Stop taking pictures all ready! You are going to make me go crazy with seeing how good it's looking every time i stop by your thread. Nice work, she's a thing of beauty...in a mad max, flamethrower, machine gun type of way.

 

That thing is bad. Makes me want 35s now, more than ever

 

Well guys I have bad news...

5 years of marriage has gone down the drain. I know longer have the T100 thanks to my POS wife and a really screwed up judge. I do not know how a judge granted a woman with no license my truck but they did. This divorce has really destroyed me in many ways.

However I've got a lot of friends here at home helping me out. Anyhow i dud go yesterday and buy me a new Toyota. However its not my T100. I've now got a 1998 Toyota Tacoma 2.7 5spd.. ill post pics once I get a clear head of thongs.. life's been rough

 

But...but..but. nooooooooo anything but the toyota! Dude I'm am truly sorry about that and wish you luck through this hard time. Sorry man.

 

That sucks dude.. If swear if I ever get married pre-nup period or it aint happening.

 

That sucks bud. Appeal it. You have that right. If the out come from a judge is not something you like you can appeal it and it has to be looked at again. Put in your appeal that she has no license. Was the t100 in both names? If it was in just your the judge can not give it to her and you can file against the judge also in that case.

 

Smh...our justice system at its finest...that really pisses me off.

Sorry to hear that, Mike. I know how much you loved that truck. You put your blood, sweat, and tears into a truck to make it your own just to have some idiot, moron judge award it to some heartless psycho wench (sorry) who can't even legally drive it and only wants it just to be spiteful. I wouldn't wish that crap on my worst enemy. It's truly disgusting.

I wish you the best of luck. I really do.

Agreed!

 

Sorry bout that, I hate to hear that. If you need anything call or text me or whatever and I'll do my best to help

 

I'm really sorry to hear that Mike! My condolences man. Divorce is never easy. Even if its best
