w00dy's 2003 DoubleCab aka The driveway queen

Dude I went through the Elite Bumper Order threads to get pics so I can see what I should be expecting and stumbled across your pic, clicked on your build and looked through more.




Looks damn good & I'm excited to get my bumper. Just got done emailing back & forth with Tim-- it's currently being cutout

 

Love the all black look, u gonna smoke the headlights/markers? MURDER that thing!

 

last I heard he's doing the pink head light mod, streamers on the mirrors & stenciling a unicorn on the hood

 

hmm i think that will suit him well

 

Yeah I'm a fan of the dark look. Easier to hide da scuffs... I was actually looking at blacked out corners on eBay.

I ditched the unicorn in favor of the Narwhale.

 

Listen hear porchop...

Always love that tailgate!!! Came out nice

 

haha thanks bud, it gets a lot of attention

 

Such a clean truck! I love it double cab nation

 

Either way, that's a sick truck! I got a 04 DC 4wd TRD that will be all black one day!

 

Hey Woody, did you ever get these installed?

 

Not yet. My job has me in a stranglehold! I'd like to get them on before it gets too cold

 

Finally got around to installing my UltraGauge. Its been sitting in the box on my back seat for over a week. Now I just have to get it calibrated.

 

your A/C blows cold 57*

 

You like that. Took me a minute to figure out the placement of the gauges. Once I figured it out, I put the temp gauge there.

 

so many options/pages

 

Just awesome! If anything ever happens to the ARB or I just get tired of the old behemoth that is the bumper I am going to. I think it is time to go ahead and do the 7069's and 285's. I didn't want to spend the extra money on either wheels or wheel spacers after the lift and while the 265 MTR's don't look awful, I am regretting not going to 285's! I should have listened to all the advice in the posts but didn't.

Trucks like yours and this build thread are going to get me divorced......

Really nice set up Woody!

 

I just did an install of the 4crawler axle relocation plates. Not too hard to put on, however, if you're not doing a u-bolt flip kit at the same time and are utilizing the original bumpstops you'll want to drill a new hole 3/4" center to center from the original hole so that the u-bolts line up straight. I've seen a few people comment on not doing this and their u-bolts are not straight which may not neccesarily be a bad thing but I'm a perfectionist so I drilled the new hole so everything would line up good. I was very happy once I got out on the trail, no more rubbing on the front of the rear wheel well, tires stuffed up perfect without rubbing. A cheap mod that in my opinion should be included with OME Dakar springs on a 1st gen since they move the axle forward causing the rubbing issue. Or if OME would just move the center pin on the Dakars back 3/4" you wouldn't have to worry about it.

 

Nice mod Greenchile, I need to do this.

 

Great description. Thanks for the help Matt!

 

I will give 5 whole dollars for you head unit BUT you will have to pay me to take that hideous bumper with the radio. I can see why you would want to get rid of both.

I am now sold on the ProComp wheels after seeing them on your truck. Nice rig!
