01GREENTACO build

Fellow TW member, TacoSkeet, got it for me for my birthday and I've been rocking it ever since. I will eventually get rid of it when I get the money saved up for an Elite or Shrockworks or ARB bumper.

Thanks!

 

Started my swing out tire carrier and bumper build this weekend. Managed to wrap up the base bumper and swing out arm tonight. Just waiting on the hinge from Comp4x4.com to come in and my latch from Amazon. Just need those two things and need to finish up my welds. Ran out of wire tonight so I need to wrap that up and finish up grinding my seams. All in all, this thing is coming together nicely. Can't wait to get it mounted up on the truck.

 

Finished up the rest of my swing out this weekend. I think it turned out really good. Took a lot of trial and error and having to mount and remount, just a lot of back and forth... Got it all worked out and painted up and mounted.

 

Liking the built, but I would advise some sliders to cover up a little of the body lift. Atleast that's what I'm planning on doing when I get the money.

 

As soon as midterms are over and I get some free time, sliders are next on the schedule. All I need is some square stock and free time. Thanks for the advice though.

 

Thread update.

New bedsides thanks to Sokmonkey (got them before he had to close shop)



Reinforced the swing out this weekend as well



AND.... added a snorkel! Yes, i know it's homemade but it functions flawlessly and looks killer in my mind at least.

 

The snorkel looks great!

Nice work!

 

Thanks! The headlights and turn signals are working and 100x's clearer than my old ones. Thanks again!

 

Subbed... Love single cabs!

 

Thanks! I'm kinda partial myself.

 

Haha if they came in a v6 still I'd love to have one!

 

I'm planning on doing a V6 swap maybe as soon as this summer. I need some more power! I wish they still made single cabs with them from the factory.

 

That will be awesome! The 2.7's are great motors, but for daily driving and lifted they just need a little more oomph behind them.

 

Couldn't agree more!

 

Love the snorkel, and looking forward to working with you on that V6 swap this summer. Great build my friend!

 

Thanks! I know, I can't wait to tackle your 4WD swap!

 

Looks good man! I just regeared my 2.7 and its night and day. you should def consider that!

 

I have 4:10. Thinking of going to 4:56. What did you switch to?

 

I had 4.56s and went to 5.29'. I still have my old 4.56's if you want to make an offer on em. they are used but everything looked good on them when I took them out.

 

How many miles on them? What was the stock gearing you had? I might be interested in them.
