northwesttaco's SOLD LT Build w/ 35's and BS

Truck looks good love the led light bar i wanna put one one mine after the oem roof rack ... what kind is it?

 

I love the light bar but I have had a little trouble with the brackets, weren't designed well and they cracked, getting the new ones in a few days.

Look at Kolts build (PepsiManKolt) he put a 30 inch on his oem rack. Mine is Relentless Fabs LED company called Rampage lights. Seems like good quality, no leaking and good output. If you have the money go for rigid though

 

Sold the 40 inch light bar and brackets and got Dakar springs to go in the back! Around the first of the year ill get a 20 inch rigid bar and put that on my nFab bar with 2 flood pods on either side, and take 4 pods and use them as under carriage/rock lights

 

Got a chance to go up around Darrington this last weekend with JDAM. Didn't get many pictures but here is a few





Got to move a few trees out of the way after the last storm

 

Are these latest pictures with your Dakars installed yet? If not, post some pictures!!

 

Not yet! Ill get some pics this afternoon of the dakars and brake lines

 

Found some more sick places to take you Ryan when you come up! These are from last friday

 

Cool man! I'm so looking forward to planning my trip up that way!! Hoping it all works out!!! It would be soooo sweet!!

 

Here are some pics! Gained about another half inch or so of lift, im sure it'll settle a little bit though. Can't wait to get the RTT on top

Is it normal to have 2 overload springs? Steel braided brake lines in this pic too

 

Nice dude it's looking really good! Yeah they'll be great for holding the weight.

And as far as the 2 overload springs I think the Dakars are the only ones that have it but I'm not sure. As far as I know they just help with extra weight so that if you have a lot of weight you don't go into negative arch.

Couple questions for you. Do you notice any difference with the stainless steel brake lines in the stopping power or response? And we're they easy to install?

 

Brake lines were a bit of a pain to get to, mainly just the location that the factory put them. Then you have to bleed the brakes of course.

I don't really notice much mainly because i haven't had to slam on my brakes yet. The reason you would notice a difference is because if you were to slam on the brakes a ton of brake fluid is going through the lines and the rubber can bulge over time. Since these are steel braided they won't bulge making it more efficient and better stopping power.

 

Alright cool thanks for the info. I plan on getting some soon. Gotta save up for a little bit though. Just bought a new Gopro Hero 4 tonight. Can't wait to use it.

Okay cool, that all makes sense. That's a little more common terms and easier to understand than what I sent you last time we were talking about the brake lines haha.

 

I went through toytec since I didn't see any steel braided ones from wheelers. They are pretty simple just a bad mounting place.

Next thing I want is sliders now mainly to prevent door dings so Ill look for some used ones. But just found out today I need my wisdom teeth out so I won't be able to work as much during winter break to save up

 

Oh sweet! Toytec is cool too.

Who you thinking of getting your sliders from? Dang that sucks, getting your wisdom teeth ain't fun.

I saved a ton of money building my own sliders. If you have any welding skills give it a shot. You'll save like 75%

 

I have 0 skills for welding never done it in my life haha how much was materials for your sliders?

 

haha well maybe you have a buddy who'd like to help you out! I spent a little under $100 and maybe 8 total hours of my time. It was fun and I saved money.

 

moooooar pictures of dakars!

 

Im sure I could find someone but don't have the time until next summer probably. That isn't bad though, 8 hours to do them, could do it all in one day.

What other pictures do you want? haha like from behind and stuff?

 

I just want pictures from both sides of the truck! Need to see how much rake I am dealing with here haha

 

Alright ill get it tomorrow after class!
