UTDez's Build

I have pro crap now and hate it so I know for sure it will be better than what I have now
There are set at 0 but with Toytec 521600 3" front coils. Toytech say to use the bottom clip setting with those spring's. Everything came all mounted up with the top hat. So once the bolt and nuts come I can just slap them in

 

Right on. Sounds like a good set up!

 

She is all installed.. alignment is getting done Saturday at the same time as when they are putting my leaf spring recall on.

 

Looks great man!! Really good lookin truck. Like the stance it has. Those 285's?

I also got the leaf spring recall notice, but doesn't apply since I got rid of the OEM and put dakars on.. A good buddy of mine ended up getting a $1,000 reimbursement from Toyota for the recalled springs, he had 2 sets break within like a year! Crazy. He also just got dakars installed and was lucky to get the $1k back to off set it!!

 

Yea 285/70/17 rubbing on the body right now may need UCAs to push the caster forward or take off the 1.25 whell spacers

 

Right on. They rub only at full lock? Or consistently? I run 265/75's on wheelers steel wheels which have about 4.25" back spacing, and do rub only sometimes at full lock in reverse.. Maybe someday will go to 285's, love the look and higher clearance they give

 

not even at full lock.. it is not hitting the body mount but the actual body in side the finder i will take some pics tomorrow

 

Treadwright Claw MT's 265/75/16 load range E installed. They are pretty heavy and have a pretty high pitch hum on the road, but like the added siping for an MT, makes them more like a burlier AT. We'll see how they perform! Get some better shots of them soon when I get out camping in the next week or so.

 

Some more shots of the new MT's installed. They've been great so far, super solid handling on/off road.

 

Installed a Body Armor rear bumper w/ tire swing out in late May. Was rear ended and insurance covered most of it, had to drop about $100 out of pocket and decided to go with this option as a temporary upgrade. Eventually will go to a Pelfreybuilt or SOS Concepts full rear bumper set up. Definitely aware of some of the negative reviews of the Body Armor gear but it's an upgrade either way for next to nothing. So far, I like it overall. The bumper itself is super stout and seems well built. The tire swing out seems fine so far and no issues to this point. We will see. Taken it off-road on a few trips since installing and other than it being heavier than shit and dropping the rear a tad especially when loaded with gear, I'm happy.. the Dakar leafs are for sure getting their work load, but handling it very well.

 

Great looking timberland mica, loving the build so far!
