    cbechtold's Long Travel IFS Crawler Tacoma Build

    Shock towers look awesome, don't make the mistake we made early on and add some interal bracing behind the towers so they dont try and bend inwards over time and start twisting the frame. A crossover tube would be ideal but we have managed without one.

    Radio information guide

    I used to run an MXT275. With racing, I have upgraded to a good chase radio. I use a Yaesu FT2900 now. Really great radio and can be found fairly cheaply used.

    Some of our recent changes since hammers include rebuilding basically the entire front end of the truck. New steering rack, inner tie rods, diff housing, arb carrier, gears, cv's, shocks, limit strap mounts, frame reinforcement, and some other odds and ends. 90 percent of the work was on the...

    AR-15 (and other variants) questions, answers, bullshit

    Been making good progress on my build, Surefire RC2 next. Here is the more cost-effective bbwars blaster because bb's are cheaper and airsoft is exhausting and a great way to test your shit.

    Flemster's Build and OvErLaNdInG ADvEnTuReS

    I just bolted through the plastic. I may add some aluminum to it to make it more rigid. It doesn't bother me as far as hitting it, I have an inverter on the other side as well.

    Some shots from a recent Moab trip! Super fun weekend trip. The 4Runner did awesomely and it had no mechanical issues.

    Flemster's Build and OvErLaNdInG ADvEnTuReS

    The supercharger sadly has not made it in yet. I am waiting on a new Dynamic Tensioner from URD as well as fixing a crack in the supercharger manifold. I did however replace my timing belt and water pump, new hiflow fuel pump from URD, got the spark plugs in, trimmed the timing cover and did a...

    Flemster's Build and OvErLaNdInG ADvEnTuReS

    These are 35x10.5r17. Tall skinny 35 and I love it! I don't think I will ever go up to a 37 unless I do some major parts upgrading including front and rear diff.

    Flemster's Build and OvErLaNdInG ADvEnTuReS

    Fixed some steering rack mount issues I have had for a while. The middle bolt has been unable to thread into the nut and I have been lazy about fixing it. I finally got to it and found the bolt was seized to the sleeve. To solve this I ended up cutting off the mount entirely and rebuilding it...

    Oh, yea! We were out testing and part of the testing was to see how many miles we could get out of a full tank. We found out how many! Just ran it out of gas.

    Made some more progress! We leave in a couple of days so a lot of loose ends are getting tied up. We made great progress on the dash! The bump stops and shocks have all been rebuilt as well. Going to make some major progress on that today, then finish up a new transmission skid, assemble...

    The motor is back in with the Doug Thorley Headers. This was a major squeeze with the engine cage but we made it work! We also knocked out some more cage tie-ins, all custom solid body mounts, reinforced the front clip, did some major interior work, some minor bodywork, custom spacers for our...

    Tow Rigs

    Looks, awesome dude! The biggest thing you'll notice with the enclosed is wind resistance. Weather will play a big role on your mileage when towing that trailer. Towing the racecar with the no slide-in camper on a 4,800lbs deck over I get better mileage than towing an empty 20ft enclosed that...
