Your bushings on the inside of the torqflex are worn out. That spacing on the shaft to the pivot spindle should be equal. And I don’t know if those are serviceable.
@@Crawlerjamie look up torqflex design diagram and you will see how they’re made. I own an rv repair company here in Montana. Where’d that happen at here?
@@Crawlerjamie well dude if you’re ever near Billings. I own a mobile repair business. If you need a hand with anything. I’ve been following you for a while, probably 7 years?
I bought a 28FB in Missouri, towed it back to Florida where I live. I ran through a rainstorm for about 15 miles. Not a bad storm, wipers on intermittent. Had to stop for fuel. I opened up the trailer just to check, WOW, water everywhere. The trailer was not sealed at the floor joist, HappiJac bed fell off the track, electric tongue jack failed. Two months later the beaver tail plywood dry rotted. Stealth of course would not answer the phone. Dealer in Missouri informed me to tow it back and they would "look" at. SO....I replaced the beaver tail OSB plywood (which is garbage any ways) with marine 3/4 plywood and sold the trailer. WOULD NOT recommend a stealth trailer to anyone. Poor quality for the $ and quality control is lacking. So, I bought an enclosed trailer and built my own toy hauler conversion. Turning out awesome as I'm still working on it.
@@stephenenfinger9995 sorry to hear that. That might be worse than mine! Sounds like this custom trailer will be slick though! Oh and I’ve been in talks with stealth to address my issue. Sounds like they want it sent back to their production factory for repairs. They’re being helpful.
Crap eh. We have been looking at them as well. Worst part in alberta here not many places have them to even go look at. Did ya get yours out of canada here or from the states?
@@RussellStevens-f7f I’m in Alberta as well. I ended up going to autoquest in Winnipeg. Absolutely top notch customer service! I’d be happy to buy another trailer from autoquest.
Well fair enough. Ill check them out. Do you need to take it back to them for repairs or just gonna do them yourself? Here in gp we have on place in edmonton and Calgary I believe to go look at them but none in stock. Lol custom order for customers they say but I'd definitely wanna look at one better. Ya gonna keep it or burn it? Lol
@@RussellStevens-f7f Im discussing with stealth the best way to handle this. So many of these issues are built into the trailer that I don’t know what the best option is to resolve them. Maybe build me a new trailer and actually care!
When you put in your taco box did you need a body lift or did you massage the transmission tunnel with a hammer? Putting mine in right now it looks to tight
Depends if you use the stock mount or not. I had my trans mount and crossmember lifted up so I had to cut my trans tunnel out. Wouldn’t recommend that! Nasty job. I think if you use the stock mount you can fit it with some hammering.
Hey buddy! If you enjoy true crime documentaries, don't miss the latest real crime documentary video I shared! Your comments are important to me, so I'm looking forward to your feedback. Take care of your health, and I hope you take the time to come and show your support. Thanks, every critique is valuable to me!
@@Crawlerjamie been following you since before you sold your silver dodge and straight axled your doublecab. I had the same truck but sold it for a diesel. Miss that truck sometimes.
@@thejrayhjr I sold my dodge because at that time I didn’t need it. Got rid of the Tacoma because I wanted to build a truggy. I tore it al apart and built a truggy, didn’t like it, so I sold it. Then built this truck.
What are the cheat codes? Im guessing the flat fronts keep you from unloading/requiring a suck down and the stock length rears with the anti wrap just work? Any insight on the rear shackle setup above the frame? What was you goal doing this?
You basically nailed it. The rest shackles I just made like that to allow for lots of movement but I don’t think it makes a big difference. Rear end rides really rough, I need to take out some leaf’s I think. The chest coaxed are the leaf’s themselves. Stable and flexy, they just work and they’re so simple.
I love this truck so much! Would love to know a little more about the build! What size tire? what engine/trans/transfercase?? ive been watching all your videos and you wheel the hell out of it!! keep it up :)
Thanks. It’s mostly bolt on stuff aside from the tube work. 2rz, w56, 2.28,4.7 cases. 5.29 gears. I built this one very simple so I could get to wheeling fast instead of a long drawn out build process. Kept the leafs front and rear and it doesn’t ride really well but it is pretty stable. Tires are 37” sticky treps
@@Crawlerjamie how do you like wheeling the mini truck compared to your 4 door?? if you could only have one or the other which would you choose?? obviously they are very different
@@sadiejai3434 not really comparable, the Tacoma was big and heavy, but very comfortable. I’d trade the pickup for it any day. The pickup is more capable on most trails, and I don’t have to care about it. But the Tacoma was special.
@@sadiejai3434 leaf’s are stock length, but I have made custom leaf packs for it, as I was bending stock ones. The front leafs are rears from an early 80s pickup. Wheelbase is 114 maybe? I haven’t measured. It’s very close to stock length for a reg cab long bed
@@thejrayhjr there’s more to the story I started building a truggy and wasn’t happy with it so I sold that chassis. Didn’t really get much dough out of it. But I have some parts still and they’re in this white truck so that’s kinda cool.
Not really, it’s mostly just bolt on parts. 22re, dual cases, custom leafs, 37s, lockers, tube work done at home. It has changed a lot since this video too.
Where are you reading labe? Haha I only see labour in the description. And that’s proper Canadian spelling! I’d love to get back down to dusy. This was from 2013. Excellent trip with one of my best buddies Tanner.
@@Crawlerjamie I know the Canadians spell it that way, just kidding around. I’m the one who walks through Dusy every year to assess conditions, before they allow the crew to drive through and clear the trees. Last year was the lowest tree count I’ve seen since I’ve been doing it, starting in 2009. It’s an awesome trail for sure. I’ve been through 26 times now, including driving, riding, and hiking.
@@Crawlerjamie I’m sorry I barely remember you. My memory isn’t what it use to be, and I talk to a lot of people about Dusy. Where did we message at last time?
