Hurley's 02 DC TRD build.

I purchased this truck in July of 2013, and have absolutely loved it. Other than tires I haven't done much, as the funds haven't been available.

Recently I installed Bilstein 5100's set at 2.5", along with a 1.5" rear add a leaf. I guess you can say my "build" has begun. The financial situation is going to get a bit better in the near future, and my immediate priorities are full rear leafs, and winch. I haven't yet decided if I'll do a winch install behind the factory bumper, or go aftermarket. I'd prefer aftermarket, but would like to keep weight to a minimum, and don't like tube bumpers. Looking really close at the addicted off road plate bumper.

At any rate, here are a couple pics.

The day I brought it home:



As it sits now (265/75/16 duratracs, and lift):

 

Lighting in the recent pics suck, but it still looks like the first pic.

 

Looking good twin!
4x4 or prerunner?

 

looks like mine did a long time ago!
Very nice!

 

4x4, I wouldn't own a 2wd rig lol.

 

Nothing against those who have 2wd trucks, a 2wd just wouldn't suit my needs. Reread my post and realized I kind of sounded ass'ish lol.

 

After much thought and research, I decided on a winch and bumper. I went with the ARB and a Warn VR8000 with synthetic rope.


Freshly installed sans rope:



After just spooling the rope:
