300AACTaco's Black '15 DCSB Alaskan Adventure Build

I will man! They're going on next week

 

Sorry I couldn't tell ya man I'm a noob when it comes to wiring so I left the whole light bar and switch install to someone else since I didn't trust myself lol

 

How much lift? And can I see a side shot of your wheel/tire offset? Just had the same cooper's mounted on my 02 taco and am currently trying to find the right wheels, thanks!

 

Awesome man love the truck

 

Thanks man!

 

This is going to sound almost like a diary entry lol but OME 886s and 90000s going on in about 2 weeks, wish they'd go on sooner but the fab shop I always take my truck to is backed up, they do great work though and have been really good to me. But I still wish I knew what the hell I was doing with installing stuff like this though, i've got a buddy that used to have a spruce mica taco and he's pretty mechanically savvy but he's always busy. I need to retake measurements with my current set up to compare with the 886s. It just seems low to me. I'm tired of messing with suspension stuff so hopefully it'll finally be the way I want it this time.

 

Maybe I'm mistaking you for someone else on here, but don't you have an iPad dash kit from Shane? Cant find it in your build but I swear I saw pics somewhere

 

I actually don't but I'm pretty sure you're talking about Hunter.V.White, it's all good cuz we both have black tacos in Alaska lol

Haha that's actually all I remembered, thanks man

 

No worries bro!

 

hey bro mind putting a pic of your rear shock stone guards?

 

Thanks brother! Those are pretty interesting, who builds them? I love that rear bumper man, Still can't decide between a standard rear, or high clearance haha
Side note how alaska?

 

ARB Old Man Emu makes em, they're only like 30 bucks for the pair. And thanks man! It's pretty sweet! I chose the standard because I really didn't wanna start cutting up the body of my truck. I'll cut fenders, I'll cut the cab mount, but the body itself not so much lol but that's just me. Not to say some rigs with the high clearance bumpers don't look sweet, because I like em on other people's rigs, It's just a matter of cutting the bed sides like perfectly straight which can make it look weird if they come out otherwise, also for how much extra clearance you gain it just wasn't necessary for my needs. But Alaska is awesome! Definitely a great place to explore especially in a tacoma. The winters are gorgeous when there's snow at least, last winter we hardly got any which is unusual. This winter is really nice though. And the summers are just breathtaking.

 

dam man you're lucky we finally got some powder on our ski slopes but Im working and going to school so it sucked. You need to post more pics of you out on the trail with now for the rest of us in a water shortage haha. Yeah man I completely understand about cutting plus same for probably not using that extra clearance to its max. Where is your spare currently?
Thanks for the link they just bolt on?

 

We've got a decent amount of snow up here right now, our most popular place nearby, Alyeska Resort, has some good powder, 42" summit and 6" base. My snow report terminology isn't the best though lol, I snowboarded once and sucked, skiing seems a lot more doable to me though. And I definitely need to post more trail pics, I've got some I still haven't posted but I need to get out more! I want an on board air compressor so I can air down, and then I'll go anywhere without fear of puncturing my tires. And yeah i don't know how much added clearance you get but I know it isn't a huge amount, then again every degree counts. And my spare is still mounted under the bed, I'm yet to get a matching spare for my new wheels and tires. When I do though i'll mount it in the bed and remove the stock spare from under the bed. And yeah they just bolt on near the base of the shock

 

Sweet man! OBA would be really nice lol but so expensive. I wonder if the rock guards will work with 5100s or fox smooth bodies? I'm asking off road warehouse now haha

 

You can get the ARB Air Compressor starting at like $290. And the stone guards should fit but I'm not 100% sure

 

Awesome pic man. Can't wait to find my way up to Alaska one of these days.

 

Which compressor you thinking about getting? I really and to save for a shell and rtt!
I saw fox makes some guards too but they are plastic

 

Thanks man! It's definitely an amazing place!
