HHI's Dad's 2015 Build

Most Recent Picture: December 17, 2014


So start with some brief history I guess. My Dad has always been a truck guy, in my 19 years he's owned 12 that I can think of, however he's never modified any of them. I figured it was time to change that. He was driving a 2010 F150 which was starting to have obvious issues with the drivetrain so I hassled him to trade it for a Tundra for about a month. Finally he decided to sell it but not for a Tundra.

So on November 22nd, my Dad picked up his new 2015 V6 Automatic TRD Offroad.

I've been trying to think of a catchy name for this build over the last few days similar to Blackdawg's Dad and the FRV, but nothing has coming to me thus far.

Also I may have convinced him to buy some parts right away. So without further adieu the only pictures I have until I either get back to the states or my sister takes some for me.

Hi Jake

 

Whats up bud

 

Just drooling at all that new icon gear, those methods, and those tars

Has he been driving it and enjoying it yet?

 

Yeah he loves it. Took it on a trip down to Tallahassee and said its about 100x better than his Ford other than the smaller fuel tank

 

Amen to that, we could've saved him so much time by telling him that haha!

So much to drool over already, i am also pretty jealous of all the new new with no rust

 

Mandatory FSU logo and magnets before game

 

That's gonna be the part I'm most jealous of, my rig is from Massachusetts so it's not clean underneath, and my sisters 07 FJ looks like it just rolled off the line still

 

I just spent three days prepping mine for the winter salt fest....i fluid filmed it this year. Next year i will use an actual undercoating, not just a quick fix like the fluid film.

There are plenty of anti corrosion options out there for you man....and being in the south probably slowed that New England salt deterioration by quite a bit

 

Oh yeah I've fixed it now, was a bitch to do everything. Still need to replace my rusting LCAs at some point but holding out as long as I can in case I go to 2" LT

 

Got some sliders welded on today thanks Eddy for hooking my dad up

 

I hope he has fun with it

 

GO NOLES! and sick truck.

 

I said I would post up some dirt pics soon, so without further adieu, pictures from the December Windrock Trip

 

More flare destruction?

 

Also dents and door handles
