Builds My Bad 91 Runner on 39.5's (should have got 42's)

[knixen]

Don't you have a truck to build?

...... and it's 1609.344 meters to a mile... I looked it up...

it's closer to 31/50ths of a mile....

This is tech right? Hehehe

thats right, my bad... quarter mile is 402meters, I mixed up the numbers. This is hardcore education

And my truck is at the painter, so I cant build anything yet. And since its still snowing outside I wont prepare the portals either...

[knixen]

Progress at the painter...

Ordered a set of wilwood disc brakes for my portal axles too

Man, that looks good.

 

[cavemancaleb]

wow that does look good.

 

[cavemancaleb]

Picked up my portals today...
the original control panel

I had to drive 700 miles to get the axles... boooooring...

wait wait, are portals elocked front and rear? is that what that control panel is for?

They are air locked...

 

[cavemancaleb]

holy constipation batman, thats awsome.

 

[knixen]

They are air locked...

sort of, they are vacuum controlled

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Ok, fine.... vacuum controlled.... Does the vacuum actuates a shift fork of some sort? Or control some other means of power?

Yes, a shift fork if I remember correctly

I was thinking, it wouldnt be a very good idea to run mogs with leaf springs would it? It seams like the tires would have extra leverage to give it axle wrap like a mofo.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Leafs wouldn't be bad if you put on traction bars... without it'd be like using 6 inch lift blocks....

First of, its not mogs its Portals (and from a Volvo not a Unimog). Second, I am running them SUA which greatly reduces axle wrap and I do not think a track bar will be necessary. This way I will end up with just about the same height as now.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

SUA should be fine.... but you're loosing clearance man!!!! ...... like you need it... Hehehe

He he, clearance issues so near the tires??? I think not.

And I am sick and tired of waiting on my LTBs, seriously considering some Iroks again... 42s, but I checked out some reviews of the LTB and not found a single bad one... What to do??? Anyone with an input?

And I won`t buy the 39,5 iroks again, I just cant justify spending all most 1000usd on going from 15-17" rims... It would piss me off!!!

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

42's? Bah! Find some 50's!!!! You go through tires as fast as I go through shoes man!

 

[knixen]

42's? Bah! Find some 50's!!!! You go through tires as fast as I go through shoes man!

he he, this season I need two sets of tires due to size regulations in the Russian competition...

But I still need advice on LTBs vs Iroks... worth the wait???
