Hey whats up guys, I’ve been on this forum before and others more often. I’m looking to make this forum my new home for advice, it seems better than the rest these days. I’ve had my rig for 8 years now, and have done a few mods. Now I’m looking to really get things going again (modding again).
I’ve been running trails for about 15 years now, started with a 4runner to learn and make mistakes.




Then I got a rover (another mistake but I really like it)

 

my first mod sway bar disconnects



then i got some lift springs used that seemed to net over 3 inches but were very sloshy and bouncy.

 

i quickly caned those and got some Heavy duty OME, not as much lift but its all i needed and hold up the trucks heavy weight nicely.



and OME shocks up front

 

for the rear i picked up some bilstein resi's


then realized that the hemi joints dont work for me





and got some new shoes



they got some nice drop to them

 

then she got mudd butts



i learn as i go, my first engine pull


i followed some dumb thread about trans fluid in the engine for 10 min prior to flush, that stain never went away.

 

rebuilt myself




i'm pretty with my suspention.

 

fitted the oil pressure gauge


engine pooped out again a year and a half later


then i made a new friend




my helper getting out the old block


time to drop the cannibal in


this damper is pretty old now.



i'll post more as i come along, thanks for checking it out.

next is cdl and maybe some diff guards since im not as good as i use to be remembering rock placement.

 

cool. you only got 1.5yrs outta your rebuilt? or you just wanted the canni.?

 

The pics are excellent !! Thx for sharing. So much to learn

 

Yea I only got around 16-18 months out of my rebuild engine 2 times since I owned the truck. First one happened before the extended warranty was over thank goodness. The cannibal v8 I installed in about 9 months ago with the crowler cam and she’s got some solid power to it in sport mode. I bet it would be a lot faster with the stock street tires on it.


Last week I finally ordered and installed my spare tire relocator and a 40 junk yard tire. I have never had a correct size spare tire. I guess now that I have kids I can rely on the gods when I have a trail flat.
