Thanks, Ya I really like the look after blacking everything out. Last step in the black headlights, hope to do in a couple weeks. Probably wont do much more, want to get a 4x4 by the end of the year.

nice truck, but go saints!

 

Man that grill is nice.

 

hey nice truck man i actually just put in the same lift and was wondering if ur uca's come real close to ur tires and also if anybody knows if i can run 285 on it please let me know thanks

 

you gonna sell it? Just convert it to 4x4 (not as easy as i made it sound) I want a 4x4 as well so im just going to convert mine.

Its gonna be a little ways down the road, hopefully parts are alot cheaper by then.

 

Well Cham, took your advice. Planning a 4x4 conversion. After a lot of thought and research ive decided to take on the chalange. It is much more cost effective than selling and buying another so for the smae price I can convert and add some other goodies.

Ill be using a A750F transmission and a FJ manual tcase to bypass electronics. For the front diff Wyatt at RST has a harness that allows the ADD assembably to be enguaged through a switch.

Parts list so far,
Tranny
FJ Tcase
FJ/Tacoma Front diff
Custom fabd crossmember
Cv axels
Front/rear drive shafts
ADD harness
Seals, bolts and other parts also needed.

Will also be installing,
LR/Icon 2.5 Ext coilovers
TC UCA's
Nitro 4.56 Front/rear gears
Icon rear shocks
Leaf pack (Expos, dakars, alcan)
1'' body lift
Compressor w/tank
315 Treadright guard dogs on MT classic beadlocks
Skids, sliders and Relentless front/rear bumper

More pictures to follow and will make/update build thread through out swap process

 

im glad you are taking my advice, i'll be watching this thread for future updates DSM 4x4 are rare as hell on this site.

 

Ya guna look pretty sick, like nothing else ive seen.

More pics of interior. Thinking black wet Okole's and black carpet to finish it off. Maybe few more LEDs

 

FJ TCase and Differental

 

Truck looks good, i prefer mine clean and waxed so..

Well hows that conversion going?

You've got one of the best DSM Tacoma's I've seen. I just got mine yesterday and yours is inspiring me. I like your wheels and your lift.
