BP's Pyrite Mica Build

Not necessarily a build thread since I'm pretty much "finished"... But more of a way to document what I've done, and post all my pictures.

2009 Pyrite Mica TRD Sport DCSB. Purchased used in March '11 with stage 1 ProComp 6" lift, wheels, tires, and steps already installed.

How it looked when I got it:


After driving it for two years like that ^^^ I decided to make some changes. Built the way I wanted it, in my style, with my own design touches.

I put together this picture, as a guide:


In March '13 I decide to make it a reality. Here is a final list of modifications that have been done to this point...

- ProComp 6' Lift
- Icon 6-7" Coilovers
- Alcan Rear Leaf Springs (6" lift)
- FN BFD Wheels. 18x9
- Toyo Open Country AT2s. 35x12.5
- BORA 1" Spacers
- BAMF Bolt-on Sliders
- Custom Made TRD Center Caps
- Magnaflow Exhaust
- Debadge
- WeatherTechs
- Viper Alarm

And here is the end result as of June '13:

I'll continue to update this thread as more pictures are taken, and at the chance any more mods are done.

Thanks for looking!

 

Awesome!

 

nice! really digging those rims with the pyrite. i thought they were gunmetal in your first pics though. very nice look.

 

I like the stance of this truck. My wife struggles to get in now. I can only imagine the discussion about this.

 

Thanks guys. I took the side steps off because I wanted to get rid of all the chrome. I'm 6'4 and its still an event to get into the thing... Getting out is like going down a slide though haha. May do some black sliders, someday.

More pics from last night:

 

Holy Shit, That looks so good.

 

sweet truck man.

 

Me likes. Very nice!

 

Love the color

 

Last week I installed ImMrYo rearview mirror bracket, so much better visibility.

 

Walked out of the store and saw this parked next to me...

 

Awesome truck....I have same truck..color and year....gonna get bronze or black wheels not sure.....bronze looks good on pyrite mica

 

beautiful truck, my favorite pic is the one where the truck is all over that killer curb

 

shoot that trucks looks really nice man, makes me want that color

 

Getting out is easy, like going down a slide. Getting in? I don't mind it. Get a foot up on the sill, or a cheek on the seat and youre good. I usually grab the steering wheel or center console and just pull myself up.

It was a little easier with side steps, but it's not that much more difficult with them off. I imagine a 3" is easier to get in, but there are tons of different style side steps and slider that will make it easier to hop up into a 6".

I may get sliders at some point, but for now it works fine.

 

Can you do me a favor and measure the cab height with this setup? I love it, but wonder how high it makes it as I park in a parking garage.

 

That truck looks sick man!

 

I'll see if I can get a measurement tomorrow. It fits inside my garage which is about 7' high I think. If I had to guess right now, top of the cab is probably around 6'6"

Thanks guys!

 

Garage opening is 7ft, I have about 5-6 inches of clearance.
