Removed them. Glad I did. Car cut me off and it allowed my front driver tire to go over her hood. No damage to the truck, kind of took her front passenger tire off ?

Looks awesome, very nice.

I had a build more than 20 years ago. Nice Bilstein shocks and Mickey Thompson Baja Claws and electric locker. Back then at least most pre-runners were specifically based on 2WD trucks because the factory front drive could not handle the suspension travel and increased tire load.

How's your feels on the durability of the baja kit prerunner on the truck? You going to leave it in 2WD while off roading most of the time to save on front drive system wear? I found that with my old 2WD, great tires and locker I could get through almost anything.

The kit is by far is superior than factory as far as build quality. When it is off road, I don't plan on using 4x4 unless going slow or feeling it try to get stuck. Even with the custom front cv axles, i do want to try and make them last awhile. The truck does have a locking rear differential as well. I just hooked up the aftermarket transmission cooler this weekend and the temps sits nicely at 170s-180s.

Eventful weekend. Hooked up the transmission cooler, transmission pan, and mounted the traction boards. Used some aftermarket mustang parts and made my own hoses. In total, drained 5.5 qts of transmission fluid and added 9 qts back. Had to do some high-school math to figure out how much I needed for the transmission hose length lol. Will say this wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The heat exchanger on the transmission can't pass the shaft after removal thanks to the mounting design. Ended up cutting the lip off instead of dropping the shaft. Everything else (besides dealing with antifreeze and transmission fluid at the same time) was easy compared. Temps will hover around 170-180 degrees now.

Lookin good man, you have an idea on how much more power you’re making now with the motor upgrades? I have just about all the morimoto stuff in my ebay kart that ive been drooling on, saving up $$. Hoping to knock some of them out this month. And is there any upgrades that you wouldnt do if you were to do it again??
