Ill keep a n eye on this one.....you basically layed out my wish list.....we have the same truck,basically......

 

@Smash8ight Nice you gotta clean setup! what size tires you running?

 

Got some new stuff done to the truck over the past month. ARB deflator kit, ARB compressor, Council Tools axe mounted, Yeti tundra 45, new cv axles, and a new cb mic and speaker.
​

 

I'm running a 265 75 16
I have since last post upgraded wheels
My 14 year old lug centric wheels is were all those small vibrations were coming from.I'm all good at 75 80, now.

 

Great looking Gen 1! Looks like a fun build.

 

@StormShadow thanks, its fun to work on!

 

Did a lot of work the past couple weeks, put one some real leafs , I got wheelers 8 leaf pack and install was super easy. They feel way better than the cheap add a leaf I got from Toytec, and they have a lot more flex. Also got an ARB bull bar to replace the falling off stock bumper I had, and installed some rago fabrication ditch light brackets with Baja design's squadron pros driving combo.

 

Nice build so far

 

thanks, ton more to do just not enough money or time!

 

Tons of stuff installed, broken and needing a little love.

Now I know not to go so fast aired down to 13psi ,
so now Iv decided to hold off on the tent and move toward 35s and SCS wheels...

​

 

Let the tubbing begin

Redneck work light with my Squadron pro!

I think it turned out well, took a lot of studying from other members and how they did there's.
​

 

Definitely have more room for the 35s, just need to order tires and wheels and cut front and rear fenders...

Also got some honest man security locked to my Rago bed stiffeners for my yeti, now that I don't have a cover to hide it.

Also forgot to post pics of my Avid bed bars, definitely a more budget option and could be made a lot better.

They were bent up on a lot of places and I had to use spacers and all sorts of washers, to keep the bed from caving in 1/4" to where the tailgate won't close.

Other than that there made pretty well. Debating on wether I should get sliders from Avid, Rago or BAMF now?
More pictures to come, just need more time off work, also bought a farm jack and mounted it with some u bolts, wing nuts and a few washers.
Need a way for the jack not to slide when I'm driving though...​

 

WOW, I can't say that I have ever seen a rim busted up like that.

 

I like your bed stiffeners, may have to get some.

 

Yeah I know right!!

I love them, there super nice and Rago is super quick lead time and quality products. No complaints here.

 

Got the other side tubbed and good and put on the new shoes, officially in the 315 club

also got a little trigger happy, so I got a Hilux snorkel. screwed the install up but it looks good and that's all that matters

 

Where was this trip made?

 

On Fort Huachuca, there's a ton of trails here and a lot of them haven't been used for at least ten years.
