w00dy's 2003 DoubleCab aka The driveway queen

damn it woody! i had my mind set on a TG bumper......having second thoughts now! this looks sooo damn good

 

Heyn0w

Thanks! Im stoked about the Elite! My best purchase for the yota to date. Well worth the money, even without the group buy prices.



Just need to pick up my OME AAL. Pick up the ass a little bit.

 

Truck looks nice

 

Thanks! Your X is a beauty! I like the grill emblem.

 

She looks good as she is

 

Not sure if they make 7069s in 3.75, I believe 4wheelparts said he recommended it... I'll double check for sure here in a few days. Hmm okay yeah I REALLY like the looks of 285s but don't like the idea of rubbing that much hah. Definitely don't want to regear considering how much of a PITA the front lift has caused me with my boots acting a fool and whatnot

Badass pics from your latest crab fishing trip btw.

 

I love the look of the canvas topper. I think they look so much better than the shells.

 

Do you have a 5 speed? As far as the rubbing, I have/had zero under normal driving conditions and that includes speed bumps and driveway aprons. The rubbing that I have is strictly offroad

I love the look of a softopper as well. My wife calls is an "old man topper" lol But I can keep my poles, tackle, traps & other stuff in there and out of the elements. I know they aren't the most secure, but if a thief wants something, not much can stop them.

 

Yeah I have a 5 speed. Alright well that pretty much sealed my deal on 285s

 

Looks good

 

Super clean

 

Thanks guys!


Got a couple more little things to scratch off my list. D6XL aal and some axle relocation plates. No I just have to find the time to get them on.

 

Hell I need new springs, mine are frowning im -1 a inch in the rear

 

Stock springs im assuming with blocks? (just reading your blue text)

 

Nice pics of the truck Woody!!! That bumper makes the truck. Like u said it is worth the money whether its a GB or not. Wanted to ask u is ur bumper powder coated? If so I got me a used ARB bumper that was in good condition. I went to sandin it to paint it again to make it look better but now I have bought a winch for it an welded my recovery point brackets on their. I am going to have to have some brackets and maybe some steal welded to it to hold my winch since their is no place to bolt it on. I thought though if I goin to have to have extra steal welded to it, to do it right I am thinking of sandblasting it and then painting it the right way this time. What would u do?

 

I used rattle can self etching primer and spray bedliner. I'm overall happy the way it turned out considering I don't have a paint booth.
I took my time and spent about 6 total hours just in prep./
Sanding,wiping and repeat.

 

Dude, your truck looks awesome. It's exactly how I'd want mine if I had a double cab. Ours are gonna look pretty similar once I get my Elite bumper

 

Thanks! I bet the suspense is killing ya! It was for me up until I had it in my garage. 1st FTW!!!

 

Well, I know I still have about 2 more months but I'm really really hoping to get it before I ship off to bootcamp at the beginning of December

 

Looking good man. That bumper is amazing.
