Yamaha73's build

they rubbed wen i would have the tires turned and rolling backwards so i trimmed a little bit but nothing too major and now no rubbing at all

 

Do your chevy friends joke about your truck sometimes ?

 

haha i had two chevys before this and yes they do, hate to admitt it but about a month ago i was trying to sell it to get a 4x4 chevy but no one interested up here in northern cal

 

lol how come you were trying to sale it? no likey?

 

Not really a fan of the access cab but your truck is way sick! I'm really leaning towards your exact wheel/tire setup on a 3" OME lift. You mentioned you had some rubbing issues in reverse with wheels crancked. Any way you could take a pic of the trimming you did so I can get an idea? Thanks!

 

i love the truck but i want a full 4 door, want 4 wheel drive, and i tow alot, the boat tows fine but the motorcycle trailer is a bit heavy, really tempted to get a 4 door taco

 

i love the setup, i was commuting alot so the nittos are great but in january im moving up to sac and commuting stops so my next tires are gonna be km2s, and yea i cut a little but not much really but ill take some pictures soon so u can see

 

Nice truck, how you diggin the spacer lift.. I really want to lift my truck but I dont really have money to drop money on an ome lift right now and uca's. I notice your still running your stock upper control arm? How bad is it? I see the spacer lifts are super hated by everyone and no one really says why, and its a "MUST!" to run upper control arms? Just wanted to hear from a man with some experience! Thanks

 

well im totally fine with the spacer lift( for now) lol ive been running it for about 2 years now and havent had a problem, i take it out to the desert and pismo a few times a year and do offroading and it does fine, i wouldnt say its a must to have upper arms, its not the smoothest ride offroad but on road it runs just like stock. everyone hates on it because its not the best way to lift your truck but if your going to do mainly road driving and a little offroad i would say itll do just fine, in february im going to be getting the 4 inch spindle lift and do away with the spacer, but thats because im eventually going to long travel it, little by little

 

any way you could post a pic or 2 of how you have that side piped, im tryna shoot mine out the side and am just lookin around and seeing how people have theirs done.

Good lookin truck, I really like 'em XD's

Yea I can I can do it in the morning and post it to the live thread but it'll be tomorrow night till I do it on here

 

so did some modding in the past few weeks, i put a spindle lift on the truck, satoshi mod and just got rid of the flow master and got a magna flow with a turndown instead, i love it

 

Can't wait to see the updates!

 

Cool build. I like the side exit exhaust. Got more pics?

 

I see your from fresno my parents live in clovis and i grew up there, we gotta get a 559 meet goin sometime

 

I just got rid of the side exhaust and did a turn down because of clearance issues while offroading but ill try to find some better pics of it

 

Makes sense. I always figured it'd be bad for OR. Nonetheless, it looked pretty cool. Thanks for checking for pics.

 

Hey Royce, good looking truck. I like what you did with the grill, valance, and BHLM. I've been wanting to get rid of the chrome and paint the lower valance, but was kind of hesitant before. Looks really good on yours. How's the bed coating holding up after all this time? Did you follow another write-up on TW or just do it from scratch yourself? If done from scratch, what bed coating did you use? Prep? etc. I'm hoping to have time to do this later this summer or fall.

 

hey sorry it took so long to reply i didn't get the update but thanks! and i don't think i saw anyone else do it with bed liner, the lower valence holds up amazing with the bed liner, my grill holds up good but i have to touch up every once in a while, the liner is just stuff that u get at orileys auto parts, it comes in an aerosol can like spray paint, and all i did was tape everything off and go to town with it lol, just keep it a good foot- foot and a half away from where ur painting so the texture shows up well, i redid my grill today because i finished the satoshi mod and i had it about a foot and a half away and it turned out really goo

 

Lookin good man. Is it me or is your signal light lens a blue-ish tint? I like that.
