Northwest Tacoma Mid Travel/35's Build Thread

Dude I'm excited to see your bumpers in silver, I've thought about it but wasn't sure if I would love or hate it. If I follow through with vinyl wrap Ill use some extra on the bumper to see what it looks like. Also not sure how set you are on the rotopax but jerry cans FTW

 

X2 on jerry cans. Holds a lot more gas and more secure IMO

 

Gahh I know man I've been back and forth between the two. I get really good deals on Rotopax gear since the company I work with carries them. I'll see, I got time to think. I'm super pumped to see how the silver turns out, should be bueno.

 

what color are you going to wrap your truck? I've been looking to do that in the future.

 

Yeah I have 2 of the 2gal packs that I bought for the roof but haven't been exactly excited about them. I think the jerry is better in every aspect, plus 4gal vs 10gal. You could always run 4 rotopax cans in the jerry can holder. Some wiggle room on the side but some foam tape could fix that.

 

Well I planned on Avery battleship grey, its a gloss color and still in the color range of silver where door jambs isn't a big deal until I could tackle them. But I'm having a hard time finding the vinyl in a cast vs calendared. Ive been looking at 3M 1080 colors and the gloss Ivory has my attention but not many have used it so its hard to imagine what it would look like

 

Seriously!? That was the color I was planning on doing. It's soo clean looking.

 

Haha yeah, i haven't said much about it because I wanted it to be a surprise if I followed through but coming to dead ends on the vinyl so it doesn't really matter now. And of course the pros are all offered in cement now so now its either a homage to the Trailteams/pro color way or people think I just want my truck to look like a Pro hahah

It is super clean tho, goes well with black accents, This was my motivation besides the red wheels. Some gloss black vinyl for the roof and accents

 

Oh shit

 

Sweet stuff on the way dude! I love my pelfrey front! Did you get any hoops?

Jealous of the high clearance, i want one but dont care for the designs on most.

 

Thanks man! I went with the center hoop!

 

Sub'd

 

Unfortunately I've been really busy at work and haven't had the time to get the build started on my truck. Looking to get everything installed within the next two weeks (gahh thats so long from now). Then I will be driving over to NITRO to get 4.88's and a TJM rear locker and a ARB front locker. Everything will be controlled through a switchpro that will be flush mounted next to my cupholder. Looking to run an ARB Dual air possibly located in the bed or underneath the bed. Looking forward to getting some parts bolted on.

 

Why TJM rear and not ARB?

 

I'm going with TJM in the rear because the head honcho at Nitro says with the way the TJM's actuate it is a lot better than the ARB (for Tacomas). Less chance of air leaks and more reliable.

 

Is that entire car vinyl wrapped?! If so, that looks awesome. Have you started on your wrap yet? I'm interested in doing the same with my truck and I'm looking for info.

 

Besides the wheels yes, and no I haven't even ordered vinyl yet since I'm still trying to get a bunch of other stuff done first. Watch a couple of videos, buy some for your roof to see if you like it/can handle it

 

Just had my buddy Jamie at Spokane Audio and Video do a flush mount install on my SwitchPro! Turned out so rad!

 

Damn thats a clean install!

 

He did a killer job. So clean.
