4x4taco09 new build

4x4taco09s "build thread" finally

275/60-20 Cooper Zeon LTZ


And 20" XD badlands -12 mm offset


Now unfortunately the "3" lift I'm going with is only temporary, spacer up front and a 2" block out back with tuff country rear shocks right now. Eventually I want to just have an AAL or whole leaf pack, plus bilstein 5100s with coils and UCAs. But this will work for the moment


I'm also out of town working in pine hill Alabama at International Paper. So nothing will be done to the truck until I get home so all my parts finally came in, but now I'm just dying to get home!!!!

 

Is it done yet?

 

Haha. I wished man. It's killing me to know that the stuff is just sitting under my car port

 

Ok guys. Going to drop the truck off in the morning. I'm home now









Tired of it being stock. In order to fit these I'm going spacers and 2" blocks. But as soon as I can afford it, I'm going to buy all 4 5100s, AAL, springs, and hopefully UCAs. Anyway, here she is sad and stock plus dirty



It all fits in my long bed! Love it







Next items on the to do list
Debadge
Black TRD floor mats
Satoshi grill
Nfab step bars
OEM roof rack
And one day front and rear bumpers. I love the Road Armors but I'd like to support this forum. Can't pick just yet
Window tint

 

Not my cup of tea but I'm sure it will look good!

 

I know it's not the norm around here. I take criticism and all compliments. I honestly don't ever go offroad. So I seen no use in buying real aggressive tires or a high dollar lift.

BUT I will do the lift right as soon as I can

 

Do you have any complete pics of it yet?

 

Nope. Going to drop it all off first thing in the morning

 

Ok. Got it all on. I dropped it off at 8am picked it up at 5pm. They were done at 1. But I was busy installing security cameras around our house. By the time I got home pulled the front flaps and running boards off it was dark. So no pics yet. But I'm pleased. Yeah it rides kinda rough it's stiff. But I'll fix all that with the right lift one day

Still need to trim the front some. Then going to debadge it and wax her real good, then I'll post up some nice pics

I still want an OEM roof rack. Want to sell my running boards as well

 

Ok got the front left not rubbing forward backwards or left and right.
But the right is still BARELY rubbing the body mount. I'm going to pull the tire off and fix that. Not a problem for me I work with metal everyday

Is this a common issue? I know it is with bigger tires. But with a 3" and 33x11s?

 

If it still rubs after I took 3/16" off I will have to but the mount some and replate it

 

Guess no one cares lol

Anyway that little bit wasn't enough. Cab mount chop time







Layed the bottom back as far as I could.



No full truck pics just yet. Haven't been able to clean it yet. Still running wires and a whole bunch of crap in and on the house. But Friday is truck washing day! So pics will come then

 

A few pics. Still alot of needed mods for sure





That front window needs some 20% on it bad! Need Satoshi grill also. Thinking of debadging it. Not sure just yet

 

I think it looks good, but wold look even better with a more aggressive tire..

 

Yea I know. My next tire may be more aggressive. My brother has nitto trail grapplers 35s on his tundra.

But I wanted a street/all terrain tire. This is quiet, will wear good, and won't sling as many rocks

 

i like the tires

Satoshi grill
Black headlight mod (may try a retro fit if I find the funds)
