joonbug's build

@831Tun what are the specs of the hoses and fittings if I want to try and replicate this kit?

Thanks!

 

Icon Billets ordered. Should make an alignment 100x easier.

 

Damn Joon those are expensive! That’s 25% of an LT budget. Hahaha

 

Remember what I told you like 30 mins ago?? My first instinct was to try to make my camburgs work. Second choice was to get new Icons. I’m following my own advice and going with my second instinct. As much as I love those camburg arms, this will be worth the time saved alone. Plus, I should be able to recoup a good chunk selling these.

 

I'm still in the process of aligning, but the manual labor is inevitable. The last shop that pulled the UCAs adjusted both heims out equally. This did absolutely nothing to help caster since they have to be offset. Right now the heim to the rear of the truck is pulled out far enough to maintain the camber I need, but the front heim will need to be adjusted in to add caster and help my maxed out lowers. I'll do my best to write it up and document as I go

 

Dibs! Lol
Shoot me a pm.
Or I might get the Icon Billets too... $$$

 

If those are the ones @KevinK has make sure you torque those pinch bolts properly and probably should add some loctite. Kevin's came loose...

Seriously haha

The shop I use runs the LCAs all the way forward and does the entire alignment with the UCA heims. Its more work, but a much better way to do it. Find a shop that works on commercial trucks, they usually know what to do

 

Yeah, I finally figured out why that was happening. The inner collar has a notch just like the outer portion of the pinch. You have to align the notches to each other, otherwise tightening the pinch bolts on the outer doesn't actually pinch the inner collar. I had the collar and the outer at 90 degrees to each other.

Hopefully this pic makes sense.

 

Will it be obvious once I see it?

 

secret..

 

yeah, I think so.

I google image searched for an icon billet upper for the tundra, and Lisa's truck is the first result.


Here's the image I was hoping to find. There's the heim, the collar and pinch. The collar and pinch have to be aligned like in this picture in order to actually pinch the collar tight on the heim bolt. This pic is of a Tacoma, but the _principle_ is the same @osidepunker

 

So do they come loose mostly on high speed events or low speed events? Chop or softballs?

 

I'd say high speed events - like softball size inputs at around 40 mph...

 

At least you're following along. I feel like I'm alone in there with dweedle dee and dweedle dumb

 

It is entertaining. I'm just waiting for you to get the shocks done and get it on dirt so we can prove one of you two wrong!!! Even though that person will never admit defeat.

 

Man, so many nice mods in your build! My wallet is already on fire and I think its about to get worse!

 

I have no problem admitting I am wrong about something. But it wouldn't be "defeat" because I'm the only one of the group who actually has touched a shim stack so that makes me a winner

 

I don't think there's any 'defeat' involved, but you might want to ask Les how many shim stacks he's touched.
I'm definitely the loser from a shim-stack-touching perspective...
But I masturbate a lot, so I'm touching something.

 

uh he's touched exactly zero shim stacks that are relevant to what we do

 

There's not an eye roll gif that is extreme enough to respond with.

 

What bumper is that?

 

I think it might be a Westin Outlaw?? @Vizsla ?

 

Thanks @joonbug. I found it.

 

If ya send a PM I'll try to locate the parts list. Been gone for a week so, sorry for the late response.

 

Hey Warren can you send me that list please. That’s one thing I keep neglecting to do

 

Be glad to Francis.

 

Hey Warren, can you post the part numbers over on your build thread so your entire fan base can follow along?!

 

I already told warren to write a book lol. It would be a lot easier on us all lol

 

Switchpro
ARB Compressor
SDHQ Battery Terminals

After a couple of years of thinking where to mount a Switchpro I finally decided to mount it where the brake controller is. Starting to prepare for a rear locker so I had to get the compressor installed. Cut out the panel, made it fit perfectly and it turned out great. Then a couple months ago I went to @dcsleeper408 to have it installed but the main piece that mounts in the engine bay went missing. Well I finally found it and got it installed today.



Mounted the brains on the fuse box. I pull my ABS fuse every time I wheel high speed so I had to leave some slack on the wires to open the fuse box easily. While we were hooking it up we threw on the SDHQ battery terminals that @DMathys gave me. Thanks bud.


And finally got on board air with Bannock’s mount.


Thanks again to Mark for the awesome install.

That’s exactly what my day looked like
