Flemster's 2000 SR5 Sport

ISR MOD
Finally got around to this after some motivation from [MENTION=107971]derpiful[/MENTION],
really easy. I did it the cheap way until I can run it over to an exhaust shop to widen the pipe.

Before

Got some exhaust tube roughly the size of the inner diameter of the intake hoses, measured it and cut to the right length.

I then cut the vaccume line nipple off the Intake Silencer, drilled a hole in the new tube and used some epoxy to glue it in.

Let it dry, put it in the way it all came out.

All said and done, really easy. Just forgot to buy a longer vaccum line.

ISR mod?

Update.

So I recently have done a few small things.
- Polished and did some paint correction
- 20% Tint on front two windows
- added an ARQ 270 awning
- Painted the front bumper and reinstalled my winch
- Added Extended Travel Kings with 600lbs coils
- Went camping in the snow

Our camping trip was up Argentine Pass in Georgetown, CO which was very snowy and honestly I had very low expectations for being able to camp there being at 10k feet and in the heart of where snow SHOULD be in Colorado. With the crappy snowfall we've received this year we made it to a camp spot easily.
[MENTION=57546]4-Ripcord[/MENTION] even drove all the way from California to come hang for a weekend.

Polish, Tint and Awning.

KINGS!!!
So the Kings say they come set at 1" lift over factory and every 5 threads is an inch more. So i cranked it up 7 threads hoping that would be around 2.5" of lift. I was wrong they are set somewhere just over 3" and are wreeking havic on my already destroyed CV axles, but I'll be taking them down to 5 threads to just be around a 2" lift this weekend. Also plan to get some new CV Axles soon from [MENTION=82211]TCMach[/MENTION]
Out with the old

Here they are in all there glory

I still need to buy some SPC Upper arms so I don't pull my upper ball joint apart while hitting speed bumps. But I'm going to baby it untill that time comes. If anyone has a set they are getting rid of let me know.

Argentine Pass

AR15
For those who don't know and also care, I picked up an AR15 finally. This is from Ground Zero Precision and I'm very happy with it. Running a Bushnell 1-4x and some Magpul accessories.

Till next time folks :wave:

Truck's looking good! I can't wait to be able to get some Kings

I was checking out those Aeroprecision lowers before I ended up with a Mega Arms. Aero makes some really nice products. I have a really similar set up, BCM furniture, handguard and barrel with a Trijicon Accupower 1-4, they're beyond fun :50cal:

Things and stuff
My Flowmaster high-flow cat arrived, excited to put that in and patch all the leaks on the exhaust. Once that is done I will be able to rule out if my flex plate is cracked or not. I really hope it isn't but if it is.... I'll be pulling the tranny.

List of shit to do before Moab....
- Install Flow Master - Returning, Back pressure check passed my stock cat.
- SPC Uppers - Ordered
- New Roofrack
- Clean PS Pump - DONE
- Fix the ticking -_-
- Oil Change - DONE
- Adjust the kings down to 2"
- Fix broken bolt on gas tank skid
- Tap and finish mounting your damn diff skid
- Install Spindle Gussets
- Spark Plugs and Wires - DONE
- Valve Cover Gaskets - DONE
Should be good to go after all that....:wow2:

And that's in what? three weeks?

go go go

 

[Lamer]

any reason specifically why you are getting a new roof rack? issues with the current one?

if there's no issue, ill take that roof rack if you are willing to disassemble and ship....:tongue:

Upgrading to a non-prototype version so I can post pictures of the rack without it being outdated. I also feel bad rolling around as the owner of a roof rack company rocking a mediocre version of our product. We are debating a giveaway or selling it.

If that's the case, I'll just come take it off your hands. I won't even charge anything to haul it away.

And I thought my pre Moab list was long. Your gonna be pretty damn busy man.

My biggest fight and concern was getting the bugs in the locker and rear suspension worked out which as of last night is done. Just need to do some fluid changes now.

You been running stock UCAs this whole time? My alignment has been hosed this whole time and I've been told it's the UCAs. Only been on 2.5" lift

giveaway is a great idea

 

[Scramble]

Where's your new video? I saw it in another thread & it's badass!

I run 2" of lift up front so I've never had an Issue but with the extended travel King's they can straight up rip the upper ball joint apart. At full droop, your limiter is the upper ball joint. So if I am to hit a big whoop at a considerable speed I can kiss my front end goodbye. Plus my upper BJ has 200k on it as well as the upper bushings so It is time.

With how many noises my truck made at the end of that video there's no way I have any credibility around here anymore. Not that I had much to begin with...

Good work on the video man!

 

[snipegoat]
