Thanks, I have way to much time into this POS. But I use it like a whore on Stockton Blvd every chance I get. I'm getting it ready for the Tin Bender Jambo. This will be my 6th year.
Jason
Some misc pictures.
Wow it's gone through some stages!
I bought it from its second owner. It was all stock when I brought it home. It took about 6 weeks for it to turn into this. Then it was all down hill from there.
Jason
Nice.
dude you should cruise down the week before the bender jambo with the nor cal boys
A shit load of us are going down on the 22nd - 27th.
Jason
i'm confused the avitar says so cali , and the location says elk grove ?
I live in Elk Grove. The gang is down south. There are three of us in the Sacramento area that are in that club. We hook up with them two to three times a year.

nice rig, cool pics!
Thanks.
I've seen some of your rigs on the trails. I think there's one broken down in one of the pictures on Fordyce a few posts up.
Jason
Lol! That is a Zombie rig!
lol i think its jimmy's rig lol,he prob stopped for a little dance break, lol
That was a couple of years ago. I think someone said the rig stayed the night there because of ignition trouble or some shit like that.
Jason

Got some more done today. I had to cut a section of tube out for the coilovers. The links and tabs are almost done, just a few small things to do to them. I should be getting my shocks next week so I will mount them on Sunday.
:beer:
Jason
The UPS man delivered these tonight. 2.5" x 16" F-O-A Coilovers.
Jason
Curious to see how you like those, I am coil-over shopping right now, and saw those. The price seems to good to be true, are they threaded or do they have a clamp on top? I can't tell. They do look beefy! I am only going with 2.0's.
They are threaded. They are heavy. I haven't heard good or bad about them. So I figured I would give them a throw. I have 2" Race Runners up front and I would have liked to stay with 2". But I don't mind being a guinea pig. First run on them will be the Hammers. I ordered them on March 8th or 9th and I received them tonight.
They like to do everything online. So I never got to talk to anyone. I like to talk to people I'm buying parts from.
I also ordered 4 F-O-A 4" bump stops for a rig Im building. This rig is running 16" Kings all around.
Jason
hmmm......please keep us updated!!
looks much better jason. hows caseys rig coming? hammers bound?
We are at a stand still. We are still waiting for axles. We have almost a complete rear. But what we do have looks very nice. Adam is doing a great job. And it looks like the front is being started this week. Plus I need to get my junk done. So Casey has to wait. Casey is going to stop by the shop to have you do some fancy plates for the side of his truck soon. Probably after the Hammers.
Jason
Just about done for the big Hammers trip. The rear mounts are all done. The rear axle is all done. I redid the front panhard bar mount. Now the panhard bar is longer and almost parallel. The rear section will get repainted this week.
Jason
The turd is ready for the Hammers!!!!!
Jason
looks good :thumbsup:
looks good :thumbsup:
Thanks.
I really like the way it handles with the new coilovers and the longer wheel base. Its so much more stable, predictable and so much less body roll. Had a good time at the Hammers. On the 2nd day there I broke the rear output shaft on Back Door. Spent the 3rd day there rebuilding the t-case and installing Bobby's 23 spline output. Ran several trails on the 4th. And on the 5th day Saturday broke a Bobby Long short side 30 spline that took out my Detroit on Sledge Hammer. But I made it out in three wheel drive without to much drama. GOOD TIMES

How hot was it down there? Last time we went for the jambo it was like 110 degrees and miserable!!!

Tuesday and Wednesday were really windy. The rest of the week wasn't to hot. The evenings were the perfect temp. A sweat shirt and shorts was all that was needed.
Jason
So what are your thoughts so far of the F-O-A coil-overs? I want to swap my standalone coilover coils for true coilover shocks.
What front axle do u have?
Not bad for a Toyota....just kidding
It looks really good :thumbsup:
Sorry it took me so long to get back on the coilovers. I've been in Australia and I just got back.
They seem to work fine. There not leaking or anything. I need to play with the spring rate a little. I'm running 150/200 and I'm going to try 125/200 and see how it goes. I like them much much better then the coil spring I had. I have about six runs on them and they seem good. I had Adam from AA-Fab take a look at them before I put them on. He said it looks like a cheaper version of King. I wish I would have got the remove res but at the time I didn't think I would have any place to put it.
Its a housing I built with Toyota guts.
