Noynumal's Build Thread

Looks good man, I need to get my fronts adjusted up a little too, I have the smaller LC coils than you do though, so not as much. Maybe PNWRunner will help me out with adjusting mine, ay Ty? :D

Thanks dude your rig looks great. I'm down to help you out with yours Toytecs if you wanna roll up this way though perhaps you're just poking fun at Tyler's inability to adjust them :zoom:
 
Turns out both rings move... Who knew?!

We all need to head out to Tinkham or something Cody, get the YT guys too. Josh will adjust the coils and I will be the six pack supervisor. :beer:

The badges look good dude
 
I've heard they just 1 moves and both can move, who the heck knows haha, we'll just have to find out I guess. But yeah a wheeling trip would be great, us PNW guys haven't had a trip this winter yet together, we all gotta plan one here within the next couple months! Also, I might need to borrow your spanner wrench after-all, mine is pretty bent after finding it in my pile of junk in the garage. :P

You need both spanners to adjust them cause you have to hold the top collar in place while you spin the bottom one clockwise to loosen it. Once its loose you can crank the top collar up very easily by turning it counter clockwise. Would be happy to help ya out I have both my spanner wrenches in good shape.
 
TRD Exhaust

By chance I stumbled upon a brand new in the box TRD exhaust and couldn't resist. $220 was too good a deal to pass up. Need to let all the bolts on the truck soak in PB blaster for a few days before I slap it on.

TRD exhaust installed/Budbuilts procured

Got my TRD exhaust installed today. Gettin the old exhaust off was a real pain in the ass. Thank goodness for mechanic friends with sawzalls and impact wrenches! It sounds exactly how I had hoped. Throatier and deeper than stock yet not obnoxious. Also has very little, if any drone on the highway.

After I finished up with the exhaust I headed up to Everett to snag some Budbuilts from fattirerider. Thinkin about coating them with bedliner before I bolt them up. Sure are heavy!

Bumper, Sliders, and Skids!

Headed out to Ravensdale to Badland Bumpers to get my front tube bumper and sliders installed. Jeff is a great dude to work with and I highly recommend doing business with him. Only took two weeks from the day I ordered for it all to be ready.

I had previously coated my skids in bed liner and bolted those up as well. Kinda hard to see.

Now I just need to get some shackles and some lights! Bumper looks kinda naked :)
 
Used 35s

Picked up a set of used 35s off craigslist today for cheap cheap cheap. Not in the best of shape but they have quite a bit of tread left. Mainly wanted them as a test set to see just how well they fit and how sluggish they make the truck before I leap into re-gearing and spending the $$ on brand new 35s down the road.

Just for fun...

We were bored at work yesterday...

And despite how it may seem they are not touching :boink:

Swapped out my spark plugs and plug wires for NGKs today. Took a little over an hour. Initially had the wiring wrong and it backfired when I started it but found the correct diagram and its running great now. Much better than before I changed them.

Its been 7 weeks since I ordered my rear CBI hybrid bumper and I today I got an email that they're still not done due to an influx of orders and running out of some of the parts. Lameness abounds.

On a positive note I ordered some light racing UCAs today so that's cool :) Still need to install my taco LBJs and OTREs that have been sitting around my house for a couple months now. Need to find some motivation!

Sorry to hear about the delays with CBI. I was pretty set that their rear bumper would be the one I'd get when I got around to it, but after hearing all the members issues with them and their bumpers, I'm going to look at other options. I'm sure once it's there that it will be a mean and solid addition.
 
Was mildly productive today. Replaced my cv axle that had been leaking for so long that it had virtually no grease left in it. Took about an hour which is about two hours faster than the first time I tried to change one :nerd:. Also cleaned my MAF sensor and replaced my PCV valve and grommet. Truck is running great!

Took another shot at changing out my lbjs and otres yesterday but still can't get the otre nut off :( Going to just bite the bullet and pay my buddy that runs a shop to do it as i'm sick of !@#$^& with it. Havin him do my light racing UCAs as well. Now all there is left to do is start saving for a re-gear :)
