Slinky totally had a waaay harder build.

 

you should see the nice stainless bracket i had bent up to hold my oil cooler....i'm upgrading to a 400ex oil cooler from the 350x one. Its a little bit bigger than the 350x one and the way its configured its easier to mount. I set the plastics and seat on it last night..its gonna look sick!

 

OH I agree. But I'm not going to give him any slack because of it. He still needs to complete the quad first in order to win... harder build or not.

Slink... did you get the carrier yet? What else are you in need of... besides a professional mechanic to build your quad for you!

 

not yet...gotta pick it up this weekend hopefully along with my new nerf nets, new front brake lever, tie rod ends, front wheels, misc rubber gromets and if hopefully another rear rim (i allready have one) Still a lot of work today..i need to pull all the bolts out after i get everything bolted up and loctite them. oh and i need an exhaust too!

i can handle the mechanic part..the only thing i'm not into tearing apart are motors...chassis, carbs, electrical are cake..motors just dont seem to be my thing!

 

I would care more about this thread if I wasn't spending 6 hours a day on Fullsizechevy.com

 

haha..thats an addicting site..lot of good guys over there too....whats your screen name? i'm Slinky05crew over there

 

I'm WheelieGuy - My avitar is me scraping an HC on the Red F4i.

I only really post in the Street Section.

 

Off topic, but how is your truck looking? The pic I saw was real nice. I just bought a new Tundra, but can't justify the first mod I want to do...wheels and tires...so expensive. Since we are up here in VT I'd like a nice set of 16" rims with some agressive tires on them, but from what I'm told I can't put anything less than an 18" on it because of the size of the rotors. And with the odd bolt pattern there aren't many used options out there....sucks.

 

whats the bolt pattern? i thought that yotas took chevy bolt pattern. and its about time you bought a truck! took ya long enough!

 

fitted up my plastic, put my seat cover on, mounted my 400ex oil cooler and ran my wiring....




oil cooler and bracket

 

WOW...that looks sick....very sick.

and if I recall, I believe that the bolt pattern on the tundra is 150mm (x5).

 

damn that sucks...all the old yotas were 6x5.5...my 20's would have bolted right up

 

I need some 20's for a chevy. What you got?

 

if i were selling mine i have 20" Icon M68's they arent made anymore...sold for about 500 a wheel.

 

Nice. I need something for my new (to me) truck. I can't decide if I want to stick with the 16" rims I have now with the big tires or go to 20's with a street tire.

 

i've been running my 20s with street tires for 2 years now and i'm pretty happy with them. They handle good in wet and dry and i've gone into some sand pits (to unload for riding) and didnt have any traction problems. I wouldnt do any offroading with them, but they have handled some abuse. They make some nice allterrain tires in 20's too..i like the nitto Dune Grapplers.

 

Phear - Tundra's are nice trucks. Pricey though. If I hear of some Toyota blades I'll let ya know.

Slink - quad is lookin good. Not really feelin the front bumper though.

Slinky... Mom's garage? How come you're not working in yours? Too small?

 

yeah still workin in moms garage..i'm just gonna call it the shop for now.... my garage has my 2 mowers in it...thats about all it can fit!

Hazen i agree..but i dont feel like buying a new one....i think a chrome front bumper would look the best on there..i thought about powdercoating these black.

 

What do you think? 20's or stick with the 16's and 33's?
