elblako's 91 pickup long travel build

some inspiration for ya

 

Damn. I don't think that is a 4wd tho lol. looks like a 2 wheeler beater. Still badass. I'm so low on funds now it's taking me forever to recover.
I am installing a triple gauge kit from sunpro to monitor my oil pressure and water temp and voltage although i ran into an issue since the kit contains SAE adapters and everything on my block is metric. I'll get it working none the less

Little update. Welded on some tabs for my light bar. Only issue is they shipped it to me in amber instead of white. I should be getting the correct one sometime next week so I'll post some more pictures.

DANG! that thing looks nice

makes me want one...lol

 

nice, what happen with the other ones?

 

Their on my mom's f-350 now. She has trouble seeing at night so I thought that would help her out. Also gave me an excuse to get this light bar

 

did you buy it direct from rigid?

know any way to get a discount?

 

Actually I got it off of Amazon from truck and winch for 949+shipping. There is a member on here selling the same one that i got for 750. Hold on let me link you.

 

Here's the link

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/167452-r-i-30-led-light-bar.html

look at post 13 and 21

There was a store in tyler texas that was selling them for around 849 but I had to pay sales tax which was like 70 dollars plus shipping so it turned out cheaper to buy from Amazon.

EDIT: that store in tyler that i was going to link you to just raised their price to 949 so nvm

 

right on, thanks for the info

i've had my eye on these for a while... i'd love to upgrade my kragen HID lights...

i'd have to go with the 20" though, 30" wont fit on the front bar of my bumper

 

No problem Matt just FYI the light bar doesn't throw as far as your Kragens might. but they sure do fill everything in between. Maybe if you could keep your kragens for the long distance and the LED bar for in between you'd be set. Thats the route I plan on taking.

 

kinda like this? haha

both would be kick ass, but i'd build a whole new bumper to run something like this

 

Yeah dude thats kinda like i was thinking. Either that or mount 4 pencil beams on the roof some how.

 

IDK about the older pick ups, the the roof on the tacoma is flimsy as hell, cant mount anything up there, otherwise it wont last

down the road i'm planning to have a behind the cab light bar tied into my cab and bedcage... when i get to that point

 

Well went off-roading with a buddy of mine and jumped my truck but the preload wasn't set right and ended up botteming her out. Bent the passenger lower control arm and pasenger side of the crossmember and also poked a hole in the front of my diff

Taking it to South Texas 4X4 in 2 weeks for repairs. Lower control arm is already on the way. I'll try to get a vid of the jump as a buddy of mine has it on his phone.

 

dang dude! must see video!

 

Yeah my buddy has it on his iphone but doesn't know how to get it off of it. I'll have to get it from him tomorrow. Hit the jump doing 40-50 and got a good 3-4 feet off the ground. Guess a vid is worth more than the words lol

 

Edit: Vid is up

 

im pretty sure this is you.
