Hi lift jack, big storage box and fire extinguisher all mounted.

**jeepspeed** · 01-19-2012, 09:03 PM

and it looks like you mounted your resis permanently too

**murderedoutranger** · 01-20-2012, 11:55 AM

yea he decided fuck those hose clamps those are for the weak, with duct tape you gain quick change resi's all you need on board is a knife and more duct tape

**84prerunner** · 01-20-2012, 12:22 PM

i only had 2 hose clamps big enough, so there is 1 on each resi. added the duct tape as a just in case.

**93TCYOTA** · 01-20-2012, 05:36 PM

mine are held on by one hose clamp and duct tape. when we first put the truck back in dirt this season thats what we had and its lasted all season so far!

**murderedoutranger** · 01-20-2012, 08:41 PM

it is actually starting to make me think cause the way mine are done with the hose clamps they are a pain in the ass duct tape3 sounds like the way to go truck looks good mang!

**blue oval** · 01-20-2012, 09:53 PM

if it wasnt for zip ties my truck would wall apart lol

**04yfzkid** · 01-21-2012, 11:39 AM

I forget which truck but I definitely took it out with 4 zip ties on each resi and didn't have a problem. I ran one hose clamp on each resi on the ranger for a while too. You're golden! Truck looks good buddy

**84prerunner** · 01-21-2012, 06:37 PM

Made it to Barstow and back with 0 mechanical issues. Wind was stupid on the way home, bad enough it was getting under the lip of my moon roof and started to separate the glass from the frame. Pulled over twice to duct tape it down, then made a target stop for more tape and taped it a 3rd time. Thanks Pahl for calling and checking on me haha

**offroaderjames** · 01-21-2012, 06:39 PM

nice truck like the build keep up the good work

Glad it was nothing! I saw you climbing on your roof and just wanted to make sure you didn't need help. Also, thanks for working the race and glad the truck is up and running now!!!!

**84prerunner** · 01-24-2012, 09:01 PM

Dropped the exhaust today and fixed several exhaust leaks, sounds so much better now. Also finally got around to installing the o2 sensor i should have installed a longgg time ago. Now i just need to figure out how to keep it from over heating with a T-stat installed.

**DuctTapeRacing** · 01-24-2012, 09:03 PM

My front resis are held on the frame with big ass Fry Steel zip ties!

**TheTequilaWorms** · 01-25-2012, 08:09 AM

looks good, are you eventually gonna pull that moon roof off and seal it up?

**emptyzrider** · 01-25-2012, 10:08 AM

nooo ! I think it would be awesome to have a moon roof in my yota. Yours looks killer , don't do it!

**84prerunner** · 01-25-2012, 10:13 AM

moon roof is staying. If i was going to ditch it, i would have before the cage to gain the extra room.

**84prerunner** · 01-25-2012, 09:53 PM

Did some hot laps/drifting this evening. still working a few bugs out but it MOVES

**Diamond Dave** · 01-26-2012, 10:51 PM

8921 rpm's holy shit I think my 3.0 would explode somewhere near 6k lol. My 468 in my 83 Chevy on the other hand is a different story...nothing like the sound of high RPM's!!! lol

**84prerunner** · 02-02-2012, 11:29 AM

Getting her all shined up for the meet tonight...lol

**84prerunner** · 02-03-2012, 01:58 PM

DAMNIT!!!!!! almost lost a wheel today. pulled into an auto parts store and all the lugs were on by like 2 turns, good 1" gap between the wheel and lugs. completely destroyed the rim. im just glad it didnt break the wheel studs. I torqed them to 110 2 weeks ago, put maybe 250 miles on it since. WTF

soo anyone have a 6x5.5 outlaw II?

**Live...Ride...** · 02-03-2012, 10:36 PM

thats cutting it close nice save
are you running 5/8ths studs? 110 seems like a lot, but im running stocks haha so mine just get snugged with a 2ft breaker bar. My buddy might have a rim ill ask

**84prerunner** · 02-04-2012, 12:01 AM

yes 5/8 studs. good thing too. none of them broke and they are supper long. had they been stock length the lug nuts would have been long gone.

**Live...Ride...** · 02-04-2012, 01:54 AM

Good to hear it ended up turning out the way it did. Definately gonna check mine more frequently haha

**interm_4** · 02-04-2012, 11:00 PM

**84prerunner** · 02-05-2012, 12:07 AM

your truck looks great! i saw you out at the night race in 2010 too, Other then solo motorsports do you know anywhere else to get shock nitrogen charged?

**84prerunner** · 02-06-2012, 12:17 AM

Thanks!
in my garage soon hopefully haha. DC shock service/randy's offroad in azusa or i know of 2 places in upland (thats where i go).

**84prerunner** · 04-02-2012, 09:25 PM

Nothing exciting has happened. rebuilt the center link with a new uniball and bushings. nothing else new. will be at the coconut bay bar and grill meet this thursday, stop by and check it out.

**the bodj** · 04-02-2012, 11:11 PM

where are you getting your bronze bushing material? any specific sizes you'd recommend?

**84prerunner** · 04-02-2012, 11:12 PM

I have a few different sources depending on what im using it for. Are you referring to the idler arm or centerlink?

**the bodj** · 04-03-2012, 06:54 AM

the one in the centerlink. ive found a few places online but im not sure exactly what it is that im looking for. never messed around with bronze bushings before

**only1mikey** · 04-03-2012, 09:01 AM

I got everything I needed for Scott's 4wd setup from mcmaster. I am sure they will have what you need for your 2wd stuff Kevin.

Mike

**84prerunner** · 04-03-2012, 10:37 AM

I get the center link ones from a friend locally. Like mikey said mcmaster carr stocks pretty much everything you would need though.

**the bodj** · 04-03-2012, 10:48 PM

yeah thats where i saw them. gonna have to do more research before i order anything though. im still unfamiliar with bronze bushings

**dankscstchevy** · 04-03-2012, 11:13 PM

you know what that truck needs is some 16in rims and 35s, lol

**84prerunner** · 04-03-2012, 11:22 PM
