The "taco that still needs a name" build thread

Well I would post pictures of it 2" taller but you cant really tell a difference. I guess when you're at almost 8" of lift an extra 2" doesn't make much of a difference. I now have pretty much 0 rubbing with the 37's so I'll have to start shopping for bigger tires. A wise man once said "If your tires don't rub, you can fit bigger tires"

 

Got my old tint stripped off

And fresh 5% front and rear

 

Picture heavy post coming:

Had a wheel cylinder blow up the other day. When I started to tear the drums apart the shoes and drums had tons of wear on them so I went ahead and replaced everything on both sides. Don’t have a picture of the shoes but there was basically nothing left on them.





Also finally installed my All Pro extended rear brake lines I bought probably 2 years ago for my last build.



Also got a patch in and considering starting a patch collecting

 

Almost a real stormtrooper now. All that’s left is the badges.

 

Love how the tail lights have no chrome at all. So clean!!!

 

Yes! With the exception of the red reflector they are just black and white. I believe they are the same ones you have. Loved them on yours so I snagged them when I broke one of my tails

 

Heck yes, same ones for sure! I don't mind the red reflector, safety first you know.

 

My headlights have clear reflectors which I like and I would prefer clear over red but everything else i like and I’m not tearing apart brand new lights to fool with it.

 

How you liking the cap?

 

Just need it color matched. Although I kind of miss my diamondback cover. Still have the diamondback so not sure which I’ll keep. Gotta sell one.

 

Haha!!!
​

Good thing is you probably won't have trouble selling either one.

 

Yea I think they are equal in value and demand. I just don’t want to get rid of either. But obviously I can’t use both and it doesn’t make sense to have something of that much value just sitting. The struggle.

 

Trucks looking good. Dipping the badges or removing?

 

They’ll most likely be removed whenever I get around to it. Been too lazy to do it. If nothing else they’ll get dipped but I really want them off.

 

I totally vote remove. Could always put on new/painted ones.

 

Yea it’s totally what I want to do I just have to get out the heat gun and fishing line. Already have an eraser wheel for the left over adhesive from when I removed the TRD stickers.

 

Boom!
​

My truck had a total of ten factory emblems, that was a fun day lmao.

The TX edition ones were a PITA

 

You talked me into it. I’ll go do it now

Standard second gen stuff. Drivers side arm rest was broken. Straightened it up and JB welded it. Hopefully that fixes it. Got a little carried away with the door panel torn apart and got the passengers side involved. Pics to come tomorrow.
