Here's my truck the day that I brought it home. The previous owner had already done a couple of mods but nothing compared to what I plan to do with this.




To start off it's got a TRD supercharger, an iron cross front bumper painted to match with an 8000 pound warn winch in it. Some Dick Cepek wheels with 32 inch Goodyear Wrangler tires.



So you could say that I got a pretty good foot in the door for building a sweet truck. But the mods from the previous owner were just I head start, I hadn't even have the truck for a full week before I started doing mods of my own and buying new truck stuff.

My very first addition was this Rightline gear truck tent that I picked up from a local vendor for a sweet deal.


Shortly after that I Debadged the truck and redid everything in high gloss black.


Not too long after that I got a sweet craigslist deal on an "almost new" roll n lock tonneau cover.



Bought a set of LED bed lights with the remote off of @mattgecko


Got really lucky and ended up getting first dibs on a sweet Alpine stereo with the JBL and steering wheel button interfaces off of another TW member.


Took advantage of Black Friday deals and bought myself some icons and LR UCAs


Got a prinsu roof rack with 40 inch light bar cutout from @336

 

That was all cool but then I thought it was time to start throwing some more "performance oriented" mods onto the truck.
I started by picking up on a pillar gauge pod regardless of all the people saying it was too "ricer"


After that I spent about 2 months procrastinating what gauges to buy. I finally ended up deciding on your average run-of-the-mill AEM wideband O2 and a custom-made boost/vac gauge from speedhut.

All put together it looks a little something like this (I'll get a better picture later)

Swapped out the dome light and book lights with LEDs

Installed sound deadener with the help of @3378jakesr5




Did the dash light mod with the help of a couple other members

@Coupe
battery hold down

URD 2.85 pulley has me sitting at 7.5-8 pounds of boost

 

Another good thing about putting together a build page is that I can put together a list of my future mods

New front bumper!!!!

Long travel front????
Shackle flip

A set of NST lightweight pulleys (if I can find them anywhere)

Weather tech rain guards
On board air
Smoked headlights
New diamond plate door sill protectors
Bushwhacker fender flares
Color matched grill

And probably much much much more

 

WHATA BIG ASS BUMPER!

 

You can list that giant bumper under " mods done by the previous owner"

 

yeah i know man just messin w/ you . good luck on your build up!

 

Thanks man, it should be a fun ride

 

Out wheeling yankee hill with @3378jakesr5

 

Black grill or color matched grill?

 

Black.

 

I did figure out my shocks are my limiting factor in the rear. If I can fit 14inch shocks in mine I'll sell you mine and my extended break lines for the rear.

 

color matched, you dont have a weight on that front bumper do you??

 

Cool, that might work out. I'm planning on buying my icon coil overs later this month. How many miles do you have on them?

 

I could probably find it if I did a little bit of research. But I know that it's a lot. That's why I'm planning on doing the 700 pound Springs with my icon coil overs

 

1,300 ish. Their not very old I put them on in August-September.

 

Nice build...that Iron Cross bumper is HUGE though.

Later.

 

if u dont like the front bumper, id bet u could sell it and make alittle cash for a new plate bumper.

 

Works for me, do you think those would go well with the All-Pro 3 inch leaf pack I'm planning on buying?

 

I was thinking about that, maybe I will have @3378jakesr5 make me one like his

 

Are you in Houston?
