Incognito's Build

Incognito V3.0 is currently in the driveway.

I'll take some pics and update everything tomorrow.

Never had any noise like that with the 5100's. I really liked the 886/5100 combo for the price, it did not disappoint me at all.

 

Update on Incognito V3.0 -

2012 4x4 TRD OR Access cab Automatic in Pyrite Mica - only 13K miles.

Bought it from a retired gentleman who maintained it meticulously. Had been serviced at the dealership every 3K miles. The interior looked showroom clean and still had the paper dealer floormats. First things first, going to remove the chrome step bars and all 7 of the "AAA" stickers on it, then debadge and paint the grill surround and the rear bumper. Have full Budbuilt skids ready to go on this weekend then lift/wheels/tires/sliders whenever the money tree starts growing.


First few quick pics, going to wash/clay/seal then take some good pics.

 

Wow, sounds like you found a gem!

 

I think so too, got it for well under blue book so I am a happy camper.

Was thinking about getting F&R lockers for the stormtrooper but with 100K+ miles I wanted to start out with a clean slate. I liked the stormtrooper look on other folks' trucks but I have always been a big fan of the Pyrite and MGM and the white just wasn't doing it for me. @Nate87's build is a huge inspiration to where I'm going with this truck.

 

Right on. I like what Nate's done too. Great AC build. When it's time for me to get rid of the OME shocks in the rear, I may take another look at the shackle flip option.

 

Definitely. The shackle flip install is the only thing I'm not looking forward to. Are you going to relocate the shock mounts as well if you flip the shackle? I have the BAMF DIY shock relocate kit sitting in the garage for when the time comes.

Going to pick up a set of All Pro 3" leafs tonight for $100 from a local member and order OME 887/5100's/LR UCA's in the coming weeks. Love it when a plan comes together.

 

I like the idea of a shock relocate, but unacceptable to me is the idea of running wheel spacers to compensate for it, or cutting into the bed. So probably not for me. One thing I haven't seen 100% solved yet, is with the longer drooop, the e-brake gets too tight, IMO... Somting to be aware of.

The 887's are the same rate as the 885's but 5mm taller? Yes?

 

Shock relocation is a "feel good" mod IMO. Stock location can still fit an 11" shock just fine.

 

Gotcha, that's definitely something that I wouldn't have thought about regarding the e-brake cable. You're spot on with the 887's, I think they'll be OK for skids/sliders but not full front bumper.

Didn't know that, thanks for the info. Will probably end up ditching the towers after kicking it around for a while and just go with an 11" shock.

 

did u use a spacer on the 886/5100 with your bumper? What ride height did u get?

 

I did on the driver side, came out level but I don't have the measurements anymore. It was very close to 2.75" on both sides though with the pelfreybilt bumper, sliders, IFS skid, and Diehard 31M (77lbs).

 

perfect, how did it ride? im sure everyone asks but u went from a dbl cab to access?

 

It was firm but not overly stiff at all. Took corners like a champ even without the sway bar but you could notice a little body roll, nothing as bad as the 885's without the sway bar. I never used the back seats in the double cab and hated playing "taxi" every time I would go places with a few friends. Was initially looking for another double cab but reevaluated my needs and found a smoking deal on my current truck with the OR package and the color I wanted.

In the event I need to haul a few people around, the access cab back seats are fine for around town. Just enough room to make folks not want to ride around back there again.

 

i like ur ideas. I was thinking the same until i found a crazy deal on mine.....thanks dad.
