Cruzer's Re-Build for the Rubicon

I’ll make sure to keep you in mind.

 

Thanks! FWIW my RCV axles needed rebuilt after minimal use. Huge, expensive, pain in the ass. Diff is fine so far…

 

TrailToys used my truck to build that bumper, super stout. I’ve towed over 8k pounds multiple times with zero issues.
@Cruzer love the build man, glad I stumbled across it. Can’t wait to see how you do on the rubicon

 

Sweet! Thanks for letting me know!

I’ve pounded the crap out of that bumper in Moab and it held up perfectly.

 

Sweet dude

 

Hopefully, I don’t have any issues with my RCVs cuz I’ve waited too damn long for them.

 

That one bad ass 4runner

 

You should see it now, that belongs to a friend and on that trip he split his factory rear diff in 2. So now it has a diamond rear axle on ADS triple bypasses.

 

Man I wanna get that trail toys bumper!

 

Do it! Do it!

 

Nathan is always down to build another, just a few mouse clicks away

 

Once you said you towed 8k with it, had me sold. I’ve always wanted a high clearance bumper but need the rating to tow a wake boat. As soon as I crunch the rear panel it’ll be on order!

 

Let me wheel your truck, crunched rear panel coming right up!!
You could just order that bumper, cuz it’ll take a while, prime it, paint it, and then just have it sitting around waiting for that day to happen.

 

@Cruzer I would need to keep it at my dads, if my wife saw that in our garage I’d be in some shit

 

I feel ya! I'm an expert at hiding shit from the womens so if you need help let me know

 

Yesterday my buddy and I made the battery tray that will sandwich my secondary battery to the underside of the bed. Just need to clean it up, primer and paint.



Today I got my Amazon fridge. Smaller than I thought it would be but it can still hold a shitload of beer.



I got 10 new cameras + the 6 or so new ones I still have in my garage. I'm going to revamp my camera system and dress the cables properly this time since I'm going to redo all of my electrical components to use the secondary battery.

 

For home security or your truck hahahhaha

 

RCV axles are here!!
Installing these bad boys on Saturday. Will inspect the boots with a magnifying glass, make sure there's no tears.

 

Nice! Make sure to install the inner dust shields, stops the axle from going in too much.

 

RCV axle install went smoothly.


Mounted the secondary battery

 

U can fit a 39 under there right

 

I can fit 40s if I remove the chain.

 

Hahaha

 

So I came up with this thingamajig because I discovered that my GoPro was overheating, in warm weather and exposure to the sun, and I would lose footage of me wheeling.



This has an aluminum housing with a battery pack on top, for shade, and to power a usb fan to keep it cool.

Gonna camp and do some very light wheeling for a few days. Hopefully it works

 

Took off the rear bumper yesterday and dropped it off at a welding shop.


Got really tired of the 39s rubbing on the wing. Here's my photoshop attempt of what I'm going for.
The wing will be 4" shorter (1 or 2" would've been enough but I'm futureproofing it in case I go 40s). The brace will have a 4" straight section before it curves and reattaches to the mount.
Hoping it turns out good.

 

Hell yea! I can’t wait to get this bumper, ordered it a few weeks ago

 

Damn, I'll have to drive around Sunnyvale the next time around when I'm visiting family in San Jose to find your BA Tundra!!!

 

There's a meetup on Sunday 9/12 in Pacifica, that'll make it easier to find my truck lol.
