riz_atx's 16 Locked, Geared, and Tuned TRD 4x4 "Big Perm 3.0" Build/Biking/BS Thread

T-minus ____........till the vultures show up looking for a deal on used parts.

 

Pretty much already all sold lmao

 

I should've known better.

You?

 

Nah, unfortunately the long be rack was a tad too long for my short bed. We measured, I cried.

 

Win some, lose some.

 

Totally, I ain't mad. Just going to hire you to build one for me

 

Hahahah

Truth! I’ve got good leads for the tent and awnings. And some possibilities for the bed rack. It’s all gonna be gone mid July after the CO trip for the 4th. That will be the last trip in the RTT

 

You going 295s?​

 

Undetermined as of right now.

I’ve looked at 285/70/17 and 295/70/17

I know I’ll need to beat down that pinch weld in the wheel wells for either

 

Hell yes!!!! ​

 

Thanks, but my fab skills aren't for the masses.
Reality is, I hate working on the truck, but it is a necessary evil.

 

I'll pretend you didn't say that!

 

What has been said cannot be unsaid.

 

Do you have the sunglass holder in your overhead console?

315's. If you gotta make room might as well go big!

 

I do have the sunglass holder. I was hoping to put the 2 locker buttons and an air compressor button in the overhead console. IIRC, the OEM locker button is next to the traction control button in the overhead. I wanted to recreate that in mine

 

You could probably make it work like the OR's. I've also seen switch panels for either the stock switches or the switch pros that go inside the sunglass holder so it's out off sight when closed. I'll try and remember to find the links when I'm on my computer tonight.

 

Im hoping to get the air compressor off my switch pro so I can free up a button for lights. Ive seen that @mesojdm makes switch panels for under the AC and also in the left hand cubby area. Ill probably need something like that. Maybe he or someone makes one for the overhead console. Need to add the 3 buttons next to my traction control button for air compressor, front locker, and rear locker. Guess I could put all 3 under the AC but there are a number of buttons already there... damn choices! lol

 

@Texoma would installing the cam tab gussets be something we can do when we have the front end apart installing the new gears?

 

It could be done simultaneously

 

Kick ass, lets plan on this. I should have more information on delivery of gears this week
