Magnetic Gray Thread!!!

+1

 

I ran 29psi in the 265s on pavement. I'm still playing with pressure in the 285s. I started at 29 and bumped up to 31 for a road trip. I think I'll stay at 31psi for the next couple of rotations and see how it goes. Fuel economy is better at 31. It's a bit stiffer but they 'feel' better and are more responsive during daily driving.

 

I wanted green but this one was the only 6speed I could find, I guess it will do.

 

Hi everyone I just stumbled on this site last week and man the trucks on here are just awesome and everyone on here puts out such a good vibe. I am even more stoked to get my truck next week. I now have so many ideas to make my truck mine. I will be posting pics when I pick it up.

 

Killer pic Gray Beauty

 

Just picked her up on Tuesday

 

I don't have any photos of it off road, but here's my 2009.



TRD Supercharger, 2.5 Hell Bent Steel spacers in front, TSB springs with Toytec 1.5 AAL. Raceline Renegade 6 16x8 wheels, BFG Mud Terrain KM2 265/75/16.
Armortech Off Road Plate Rear Bumper

 

Here's mine...........

 

Thanks, and yeah thats a great pic you got. Gives me something to aspire for. Seems like this site sucks you in though with so many great taco mods. Scary.

 

Great looking truck. I should be picking mine up on Tuesday. Pretty much identical. So for now I'll just enjoy your pics till mine gets here.

 

Love those rims!!

 

^ Sweet!

 

Here are a few snaps of my Magnetic Gray. A couple of before & after of a 2.5-inch front lift (~$60) and bull-bar (~$160) all done the other day. The headache-rack is one me and my Dad made a couple of months ago. I painted the bull-bar and headache rack will rattle cans of bed liner paint.
Upcoming add-on's (well at least in my mind):
-paint tool box with bed liner
-install 1.5-inch rear lift
-emergency lights & spot lights for bull-bar
-emergency lights for headache rack
-some type of DIY grill modification / maybe patterned after an FJ

Thanks, gurjohn

 

How did you mount the rail bars and headache rack ?

Here's mine:
2010 MGM Access Cab 4x4 TRD Sport, Automatic:
Mods done so far:
Weathertech Hood visor, Floor Mats & Visors, Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT HU installed. TRD Skid Plate with Line-X.
Awaiting:
Bluetooth Controls install, Weathertech Rear Access Visors, Tool Box, Nerf Bars, Replacement of stock speaker and aftermarket amp.

 

To attach the headache rack I first removed the bad caps along the top, then removed the speed rail (?) the ones that the tie-downs attach to. Then made an angle-iron frame to top the front and side of the bed. Welded the rack and rails to the angle iron. Then bolted through the stocks holes in front and back, then drilled one in the middle. When I put in place, I used an outdoor silcon to "glue" it in place along top of bed.
I used all galvanized metal to help prevent corrosion, then coated with Ospho, then painted with bed liner spray paint.
Here are a few more shots that might help.

 

OK......... maybe here are some pictures...................

 

Nice work !! ^^^^

I see on your profile that you have the N-Fab nerf bars on MGM access cab. Do you have any pictures? I forgot to mention in my upcoming upgrades I've ordered a set but they're currently on back-order. Anxious to see what they'll look like
Thanks, John
