TeCKis300

On the Arkansas

I’m around 7500-7800lbs

Glad the aftermarket suspension fits the bill. Has any of the full armored LXs put their rigs on a scale? It shouldn't be a surprise that AHC would be well out of its performance envelope after some weight threshold with stock spring rates and...

All good man! Excellent response! Respect! This is definitely a great breakthrough in tech and will be great to see the progression Now who wants to start the over under on when @TeCKis300 starts his??

“Black on bare metal” means ground in pic below. Pic for ease of reference. There’s plenty of was it can be done, but imo the one below is a safer way compared to some others.

As soon as we get one in the shop we will design a rear gusset. That being said, with the bigger studs and beefy axle flange on the 200 it is not much of an issue and most will not need one. Good peace of mind though and doesn’t cost much...

Looking sweet! Guess the next mod must be those portals........

Great write up! I also love my bumper and I can’t wait to see how you put it through its paces

Thanks for the post. I received mine last week and hope to begin installation soon. Chris

Finished the write-up. Looking forward to using the bumper as I've got a trip lined up this weekend. In more hairbrained ideas, what about an optional add on side hoop guard. Probably not enough orders out there to justify development but also...

Do I! If there’s something specific you want just LMK

Thanks for taking the time to create this thread. This gives people another option to install the bumper, while retaining AHC.

When my 2008 Tacoma cycles out of DD duty in 3 years, I was thinking about doing a SAS on SuperDuty 'Tons. All things considered, I'd be into portals + 40's for about HALF of that project with gas/beer money to spare.

I believe it is a good value for what it enables. It's also a good way to refresh so many things that it replaces and including hubs and wheel bearings, brakes, knuckles. Then what it supplants in needing to re-gear, suspension lift, body lift...

kinked breather, I believe.

I used a sawzall. Super easy no welding necessary way

Muffler As mentioned, I choose to delete the stock muffler/resonator to save weight but also maximize the newfound clearance. I also destroyed the tip of my OEM muffler so it was already vulnerable. This is a pretty quick install in under 1 hr...

Trimming Detail I recommend using a multi-tool to get crisp cuts. Then finish off by sanding the edges. Using this strategy, I get clean enough cuts that I'll forego using any edge trim that will ultimately trap dirt and debris. Again, I...

Review and install notes for the E&E Low Profile Rear Bumper. This thread summarized detail from this larger thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/e-e-low-profile-bumper.1344877/page-6#post-15751494 I've had a couple smaller E&E Off Road (EE...

Makes sense. Thanks!

74weld 200-series application page back up https://motorsports.74weld.com/product/lc200-portal-axle/ They refer to this as a Full-Size Legacy Toyota Portal Axle. Anyone know why the term legacy is used? Talking to Quinn, this application is...

You guys were right. Practically no difference. At higher than 4.5k rpm and high load towing, maybe some more breathy noise from the rear but that's about it. Easy 30 minute mod.

Spent some time in British Columbia with a local 4x4 club a few weeks back. We checked out some old minesites, alpine lakes, and a glacier! Beautiful views and the LX worked like a charm. The last day was the toughest trails, and the...
