Thank you. I will post more in about 2 weeks or so when everything is finished. This truly will be a "new truck" when done. Here is a side view from a 2 weeks ago.
Yes, have bumpsteer. I do appreciate the input. I'm sure it is at least contributing to the wobble. I am currently just sucking it up and not driving the truck until I have the 60's and everything else put on.
Sir, you must've read up to where I wrote about the trussing, but, if you keep going, I have ordered D60's, etc.. Trussed 44's are not enough for my build.
Those improvements are perfect. I want to do onboard air as well but my problem is where to put it. I use the bed for hauling kiddo stuff with me and dont want to lose that space and I fully intend to use my rig for trails, rocks, etc so I do not want it hanging down under either. Once my...
LOL ! I have been stuck building this thing and want to see it in action myself ! Soon, very soon. Probably about 2 weeks and I plan to start hitting up a few Texas trails for some badges.
I sure hope not. Some lucky person is going to get a nice setup. I am just disappointed in myself for having to spend the time and money I did building this and wish I had been educated enough to go straight to the 60's. Expensive education but certainly learned.
I think building your D44's will be fine for 37's, but certainly do not take my amateur's word for it. I am admittedly new to all this and learning as I go. The consensus from what I've read and from speaking with folks during my build is that 37's are good to go with trusses on the...
Yes, I will be selling the front & back Dana 44's with trusses already welded on, 5.38 G2 gears, Powerstop big brake kit and HD ball joints paired with 40" Yokohama's on 20x12 wheels.
I have certainly taken the long road to get where I am, having done many things backwards and many things done twice to correct first mistake. I have learned through this process how to truly build a capable rig so I view all of this as paying for the education I now have.
Steering is awful. No way of sugar coating it. Just bad. Yes, hydraulic steering is going in at same time of D60 swap. All done at once. Probably about a week away.
Did a simple air down of tires to get more lugs/tread evened out and touching pavement and it has helped but not eliminated it.
Work starts in a couple days and once the D60's go on, will be doing a rebalance of tires and alignment. Some tweaking/changing of geometry to other parts will be at...
Good morning. My first post. Been reading the forum for a few weeks. Time to man-up, join and try to contribute. Great group of folks on here. Glad to be a part!
2020 White Overland - purchased May 1st 2020 - 5k miles (don't drive it much on pavement) - I knew I was going to build this...
