RelentlessTaco's build up

Well, the rack has been on since about a month and a half after I bought the truck new and I only use it for work during the spring/summer so I figured i'd take it off for winter to see what the truck looked like without it.

Thanks for the compliment!

Yeah, they should fit just fine

 

sick truck man gotta give u rep that bumpers tight itll look even better once u get it painted

 

Thanks man, its gonna happen pretty soon hopefully. I finally found tube big enough for recessing in some fog lights so i just need to get to that pretty much. However, I'm just starting the build of a bumper for another member on here so thats going to take my spare time away. His is going to be similar to mine, but with a few changes i've learned since building mine that I wish I had done on my bumper. I may eventually just sell this one off and build myself another one too....

 

how long did your bumper take you? looks great

 

The rear bumper is actually an All Pro plate bumper. I was going to build my own with a very similar design to theirs, but they had a group buy on them a few months back and @ 25% off I decided to just buy theirs instead of taking the time and building one. I think it matches pretty well with my front bumper anyways.

 

nice man I'm actually looking for a front bumper myself just havent picked out one yet

 

Awesome build man! I haven't checked in here for a while and read up on everything and it still looks great.

 

Just thought I'd add that I did the fog light any time mod(my Hella driving lights are wired through the circuit) and also installed my Pop-n-lock tailgate lock finally. I got in on the GB last spring and didnt install it til like a month ago. Friday night I decided to pull off the rear most section of my cat-back exhaust to add clearance and prevent snagging it on something offroad. I already had that happen once and it pushed it into my rear fender, leaving a small dent, now that cant happen again- it sounds a tad different like this too. I also managed to get an entire new rear diff assembly in my truck because this happened a week and a half ago:

It was covered under warranty though.

 

Your building a bumper for another member? Hmmm, wonder who it could be? Wait a sec.... Why the hell are you posting. Get to work jk

 

Got around to finally doing the rear diff breather extension mod today. Now I won't have to sweat going through the creeks and stuff when im out 'wheelin.

 

I just got the stuff to do mine yesterday, parts came in today, will be doing it tomorrow haha

 

niice. BTW, I also got a few pieces of your steel cut and dropped off at a shop for some bends to be put in them... finally some progress!

 

Your cutting my perfect piece of steel????

 

Yep. Better get over it. It's for it's and your own good.

 

Very true. Where did you get the breather and camry union from for the diff?

 

So, looks like I'm swapping wheels and tires finally.... Black wheels! Whoo! Got a good deal from Stillfly on his MotoMetals and sold the chrome ones on CL along with my little 32" BFG M/Ts. Going to just throw some used tires on to get me through summer(maybe stuff some 35's ) and then I'll get some new meats before fall/winter hits.. Oh, and Stillfly's metal is coming along too... check out his build in a week or 2

 

Hey, I have a used bfg 285 if you want it lol, see if you cant get 4 different tired on there

 

Got some pics to add later on.... 35x12.50's and 17" MotoMetal 951B's are on! Also swapped my Hella 500FFs for some 700FFs(larger) and painted my billet grille black.

 

It looks pretty sweet with the 35's
