Great looking truck, mate! How much did all your suspension components run you?

 

Hey lets get some pro decals that say "Zombie Defence Squad". https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/custom-made-vinyl-stickers-bedsides-by-cboy808.281228/

 

Or "TRD Zombie Warrior"

 

YES

Need to fix that damn headlight

Trigger and the gal

 

Thanks man! I paid a little over 3 grand for everything

I got the MAF calibrator to go along with the new intake and exhaust. It retunes the ECU to the get the bet performance possible. When i bought it from URD they ask specifically what upgrades you're running and then they program it based on that info. Haven't got around to installing it yet, when i do i'll post some feedback.
I'll put up some pics of the okoles next
As for the SPOD I have everything mounted. Once i get some lights and air locker installed i'll wire everything up

 

Count me in

 

Nice looking truck sir!
Making me want to get rid of my 08 and go newer

 

Love the build man, I can't wait to get my sliders.
Is your lift 3"s? Im asking because i have the same rear leaf pack you do, just OME shocks and OME up front with 886. Also All Pro UCAs. Im wanting to go the same tires and size as yours. I have already done the CMC for my 275/65 (I had 887s and they were sagging BAD)

 

Sweet truck man.

 

Thinking about running Spidertraxx with my SC8's as well. Yours is looking real nice!!

 

It's been a hot minute since I updated this. I got a bit lazy about it. Anyway thought I would update with some stuff i've done recently and whats in store next. My favorite mod so far is the ARB air locker. It got me out of some sticky clay in Utah. Wired it up to my Spod, installed the switch panel in the sunglasses case. Looks pretty badass too

Also bought a Rough Country tonneau cover recently. Felt it was a good investment since it had been raining all month and its definitely come in handy on a couple Tahoe trips. Probably get a camper shell one day but for now this is perfect.


TRD performance brake pads just arrived. My first set of pads are just about done. Currently I have a lot of vibration when braking at speed so I plan on upgrading the rotors as well. Thinking Stoptech's cryo-treated ones after reading this writeup by @crashnburn80 . Anyone planning to invest in brakes should definitely check it out. Helped me a lot

The brake-in procedure on the pads involves doing hard 60mph-5mph stops in succession so i'm going to do this on the old rotors first.


Also ditched the sway-bar and loving it.


More soon

Good times! Good video, but never does justice. That was fun.

 

That’s the truth brother

 

As you can see, Trigger finds them very comfortable.

MAF was recommended by someone when you start upgrading intake and exhaust conponents. Allows the CPU to optimize engine output.

 

Installed new brake pads yesterday


The breakin procedure was fun. Basically just flooring the gas and slamming the brakes 10 times. Will probably do it again in a few days and drive around with the stock rotors for a couple weeks before I order my new rotors.

 

Went and got my exhaust re-route done today. Now just need to drill holes and mount my rear skid.

I like the stance of your truck with the spacers. I'm assuming you're running them front and back. Have you had any issues running the spacers and how long have you ran them?
