So, who's coming with me? They're going to raffle off some cool stuff including a winch and $250 icon gift card.

Very well might be. I'm going to find some random mud hole and go there dirty and park with the mall crawlers.

What do you use to set pinion depth? Setting the backlash was easy for me with the dial indicator, but I screwed up on the 8.8 I did last time. It whined coasting but was fine under throttle.

As weird as it sounds, all I've ever used is a dial indicator, marking compound, feeler gauges and eyeballing it.

Not a bad turnout for that new shop, Autobruder. Met some cool people, went on the RTI ramp and won a tire rotation & inspection from Karnage Motorsports!

Got a few shots:



White Elephant! This rig is sick. Hydro assist and full width 1-tons.



Inspired Engineering's XJ. This thing is pretty awesome and funny enough, it's the rig from where my 3.55 axles came from! Small world.



Went up 98 inches which I believe is a score of 966.



This Tacoma was 2wd but still really nice. Super cool owner too. Went up 56 inches forward, 62 in reverse.





This Tacoma was freaking wicked. King remote reservoir dampers front and rear and a rear tire carrier pre-runner style. Only went up 65 inches or so.



Then, there was me. Thanks to Luis (AeroSynch - who knew!) for taking the pictures.



Went up 58 inches which if I'm doing my calculations right, is a score of 572. To be honest, it's a little disappointing as my rear seems really stiff. Oh well, at least she performs well in actual offroad situations.

Good shots, tell Luis to get his butt back in here sometime. Lol It's been over two years since I've seen him, Patrick or Nick.
