: #063 werock prep
Napolian 03-03-2010, 06:41 PM Starting to get the car prepped for the 2010 season.
Fresh Trail-Gear rear axle housing, inner axles, a disk brake kit and my favorite part the inspection hole.

Also got the new Trail-Gear front axle housing, it looks beefy. Those are some shiny balls, just got to get it ready for paint. I'll post more pics of it when I get the inspection hole in, the shock mounts and the paint done.

Napolian 03-03-2010, 07:02 PM Also time for trail gears trunion bearing eliminators. They look pretty sweet, my buddy has been running them for a while and loves them, so it's time to give them a try.

Also time to redo the electrical so people stop making fun of my rats nest. I'll let one of my buddys do that, I hate electrical.

There is plenty of time, this thing will look new again in a week or so.

I should be able to post pics tomarrow night of the housing under the car.

The trail gear boys are the guys I wheel with so they take care of me. I have I think every trail gear part that they sell that will work on an f-toy. I think the only part I'm not running yet are the dirty thirtys. I hate to fix something that is not broken, my longs still are in great shape.
Napolian 03-18-2010, 08:05 AM I've been working hard on the car. Keep on forgeting to take pics, I'll try tonight. I've got a change for the 2010 season, Tim Florian will be spotting for ftoy #063 for the whole 2010 WEROCK season.

Cool! You guys should do great.

With my driving you still can't tell which way I'm going. I figured the motor would be the give away though.
boggerunner 03-25-2010, 06:05 PM hows the clearence between the tierod and leaf springs?
Napolian 03-29-2010, 10:29 AM Just got back from oroville, we were able to pull off a first place finish. All the new parts held up great, nothing broke all weekend. I pounded on the new housings and everything held up well and I could tell a big difference in the ground clearance, the car finally stopped good with my new rear T-G disk brakes. Trunion bearing eliminator kit held up great. I'm loving the parts, Thanks Trail Gear!hows the clearence between the tierod and leaf springs?
I have no issues with that.

Congrats!!
Looks like I'm going to have to dust off the f-toy and give you a run for your money next time...
Napolian 04-01-2010, 09:54 AM Sweet I'd love to see more f-toys in Tuscon, Az.
MT4Runner 04-01-2010, 11:23 AM I'm trying to make SLC.
Nathan, Jake, you headed there, too?

I'll be at all the events this year unless something bad happens.
Lazybum 04-01-2010, 01:33 PM I probably won't be able to make anything until SLC.

Jess driving and you spotting? :evil:
Napolian 02-21-2011, 09:50 AM Time to rebuild the f-toy again and retire it from the comps. For now a rear 4 link and complete rebuild of the cage, just got a new trail-gear winch rope since my old one was about 30' long and about 8 years old. Pictures soon.:smokin:
