Cooks 2000 4x4 build with some BS

Happy Birthday Dude!

 

Thanks fellas and lady! Had a hell of time, also had my brother in laws bachelor party last night and uh let me tell you it was like Hangover Part 4 if they made it

 

Now that you've had the kings for a while, what's the verdict?

Is it mildly better than before, or night and day?

The reason I ask is, I rode in a truck the other day with fox C/Os and 35's. It was amazingly smooth. Like, my truck rides like shit compared to it. I'm sure it's a combination of both, but I'm curious whether that is more attributed to the performance coilovers and shocks, or to the massive, aired down tires.

 

Night and day. Speed bumps can be taken at 15 mph and feel like they were at 5mph. Every little bump isn't there. I haven't done a full wheeling trip with them yet, but when I went camping last time I put them to the test on the gravel road. My roommate has a Go-Pro video of the drive to the road, took 1:30 seconds to go maybe a mile or so. Got to 5th gear I think. I'll see if he can post it.

But I recommend them to everyone if they can afford it

 

I was afraid you'd say that. Ha ha. It's amazing what perspective will do for you. Here I've been thinking my truck rode pretty good. I'm sure the skinny tires don't help that any.

My OME's have a whole lot of life in them, yet. Will probably be looking to upgrade when they die. If the Windrock thing comes to fruition, you'll have to take me for a ride so I can feel for myself.

 

You're welcome! Yeah I thought it was decent but man it's a lot better. Yeah that's fine by me, I don't mind taking people for rides haha

 

So 2 weekends ago I finally installed my rotopax that have been sitting for a while and my maglite. I was trying to get my hood struts installed but I either need to borrow a different drill or remove my hood. We shall see what happens tomorrow (doing some mini mod day stuff). I also attempted to lubricate my doors but could get the panels off so I gave up not wanting to break anything. I'll try again another time. Anyways here are some pics




Gap is huge, I can fit a finger through it but meh, it doesn't make noise. I'll see how it works when I get it full and on a trail.


Mounted my maglite as well




Also got some more patches in

The Toyoda one is gone now, mix up with a friend.

 

I got a new paint job this weekend

where's the full size spare?

 

This af!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​

 

I can't afford that shit yet. Plus I'm going to wait until I have a swingout so I can throw it up there.

 

It's not a matter of "I'm gonna wait" or "It's expensive." It's an insurance policy. It's better have the spare, instead of hoping and praying you don't have anything go south.

 

......... happy birthday

 

I do have a spare, just not a full size. It's a 32x11.5 r15. One of the tires my truck came with. Once I get my new rims one of my current tires will become my new spare.

Haha thanks!
