nice looking rig man!! :clappy: Gona be a killer wheeler when it's done. What are you running up front for suspension? :corn:

rocktoy85 · Jan 9, 2007

up front are allpro extreme travel 3" buggy leaf springsthat they sell for the formula toys with rancho 9000x shocks

no i don't know were there are any winches for sale

i really liked my runner but like i said it was to heavy and wide so instead of selling it and having to start over i said piss onit and stripped it that way i didn't lose all my good parts

ridinwfo · Jan 9, 2007

Did you have those on it when you were running the body? If so did it rub at all? I'm running 38.5 TSl's on my yota and I want to get new springs that flex better. Mine are stiff as ****! I trailer mine but I sometimes screw around on the streets, does it make the truck super tippy and squirly?

rocktoy85 · Jan 9, 2007

no with the body on it i had the allpro 5's on it they work awsome if your rig is a little heavy but now with the diet i put it on needed a lower spring rate

ridinwfo · Jan 11, 2007

Do you still have the 5"? Wana sell them? PM me if you do cause I will buy them!! :clappy:

O nice, how did you attach the alumnium to the steel?

rocktoy85 · Jan 21, 2007

Thanks for the helpful hints, were putting a 454 in a runner here soon so the whole tranny/ transfer case houseing has to be redone and now i have some ideas for that thanks!
