**04yfzkid** · 02-26-2009, 03:13 PM

Yeah it is saturday. I am pulling all my strings to get the yota out there, and it would be cool to have someone show me around out there

**brodozer motorsports** · 02-26-2009, 03:21 PM

**04yfzkid** · 02-26-2009, 03:53 PM

Haha yeah two weekends in a row can be hard to make. I am trying to make it to the clean-up, then I think two weeks later for the rdc 250

**kylesgorter** · 02-26-2009, 06:23 PM

Truck is coming along nicely!

Looks like the front handles pretty well, but what of the rear? Did you valve the shocks? Or do they have the valving that was in them when you got em? Looks like they work ok but def could be gone through and revalved at some point. The rear doesnt look like it droops out fast enough.

That taco looked piss slow compared to your ranger. Kudos!

**brodozer motorsports** · 02-27-2009, 12:23 AM

yeah i have been tweeking with the vauving but it still needs more. and yeah i have that leaf pack set up poorly i have set it up to sit low with not alot of travel due to like 10inch long shackles so i need to just get off my ass and build another set.

**AAAlovesME** · 02-27-2009, 12:27 AM

i like the tail lights & blinkers. looks simple & super clean!

**brodozer motorsports** · 02-28-2009, 08:26 AM

thank you very much.

**minitacoma** · 02-28-2009, 08:43 AM

Truck looks great!!!!

**brodozer motorsports** · 03-01-2009, 08:49 AM

**brodozer motorsports** · 08-14-2009, 02:18 PM

Wanted to go bad last night Nick, but I just couldn't afford it. Hey if you need to try sensors though, I have a MAF, o2's, tps, and IAC for an obdII 4.0 just laying around.
