Taco Man in HD's Build Thread

Looks good! Ive had both glassworks 3.5 on the old truck and the 4.5 on my current truck and I think the 4.5 have better lines. Plus there more noticeable, I have a bunch of old pictures of my old truck where you can almost not tell I had front glass lol

 

what brand are those fiberglass?

 

Yeah, they are growing on me. You're probably right about the lines from the pictures I've seen online.

Glassworks Unlimited.

 

Truck looks awesome Evan, gotta see it in person!

 

What size drop on that labrak mount?

 

Would you be willing to make another set of those roof mounts?

 

2" drop..the mounts need to be bent a bit inside of 90 degrees to fit the curve of the roof.

The mounts I used are actually for a roof rack, but they work on a flat surface too. They are from LabRak.com.

 

Cool, I found them. Can't wait to do this...

 

Me too!

 

Thanks! We gotta meet up!

Glad I could be the guinea pig for you guys.
If you have any questions on the roof mount, I'll try to help!

Here's a teaser pic of the fab project I've been working on the past week...

 

Nothing new here recently, but am considering pulling the trigger on these 1-piece headlight/corner lights from ebay. From what I hear, they fit better with fiberglass fenders than the normal 2-piece lights.

I added extra silicon to my existing ebay headlights when I first got them and haven't had leaking any issues with them, so I'd be sure to do the same with these.

 

If you get those I'd like to buy your current ones off of you.

 

I have looked at headlights like this before and am anxious to see how they look if you bought them!

 

Yeah, I like them on some trucks, but I'm just not sure how much I like the led strip thing. Not sure yet.

 

They would look cool as drls

 

hey man after putting bfg at's on your truck with it being a 2.7l, did it give you major power loss and mpg loss. Or was it relatively the same. thanks

 

It's been on 33's for so long, and on 31's for such a short period, I don't really even recall what it was like power-wise on 31's, but it's tolerable, and not bad enough for me to ever consider going back.

MPG wise, my ultragauge says I get around 19.5 (mostly highway) with the only "performance" mods being the Magnaflow, DeckPlate mod and an AFE Pro Dry S filter.

 

Not too many truck mods for me recently, other than getting the truck into winter mode...

I've been to busy building this vertical, swing open, tire carrier/tailgate for a TW member, VeeSix. It has a hi-lift mount, spare tire carrier spinner and Y-strap, LED light mount, and bottle opener!

Here are some nearly-finished pictures as requested by some other members... (ignore the terrible factory spare used for mounting)

 

been looking for a good y strap like the one you used... do you remember the brand or website you got this from by any chance? thanks in advance

 

Love the truck man! You've got a good eye for what makes a double cab look good!
