Yak Runner - the 'ehnacement'

Wheels look amazing with that color. Could we get a full on Side view of truck please? It would be super helpful.

 

Thanks for the kind words.

About the closest I have to a side view (along with my little friend) is this:

 

SQUIRREL!

 

Is it just me, or, did the way you did the recover points line up just perfect with "the pre-indented cut-outs" in the black plastic part of the valance?
Man, that's just very cool if it worked out like that.

Could you snap a photo of that plz n thx?

Undercover should build them like that for the 2012+.

 

Awesome thanks man! Picture looks great! That helps me out a lot.

 

Your truck matches your squirrel

 

That was by design when I laid it out for the welding shop. I know UWMS offers the recovery points as an option but I don't know the positioning of them. Just shoot Brian an email, he's great to work with.

 

thank you sir!

 

Both of your recovery poionts are inside the square tube, as the one on the left is, yes?
Did you fab those, or, buy them? If so, from where?

 

Looks like these are about what you used? These are 3/4"

These are 1"

Yes, they are both welded to the inner side of the square tube... I just told the welding shop what I wanted and they fabbed them up.... probably would have been cheaper to buy the ready made ones, but I'm a believer in supporting local businesses when possible.

What are your thoughts on the Bilstein 5100 lift in the front? Is this all you modified of the suspension? I'm looking for a simple and cost effective way to level the truck a bit without using spacers. There is LOTS of info around...but most folks are doing more and going higher. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
And, your ride is SOLID! Nice work!

 

Thanks for the kind words.

Personally I think they are perfect. I had a mechanic install them and originally told him to set them at the 1.75" setting, but he said it jacked the front of the truck up really high, so they are set to the .85" setting. That is the only suspension mod to the truck, but with the Nitto tires it has a very nice stance, very close to the 4wd models.

I've lifted vehicles in the past and almost without exception drive-ability suffers, but this simple change does not negatively affect driving at all. I'd say go for it.

Hey the mesh on your grille is that the Diamond XXL mesh or Small Diamond Mesh? Thanks in advance.

 

I have no idea. I don't recall there being an option when I ordered.

The mesh openings are approx. 3/16"(h) x 3/8"(w)
