Chuckers Expedition Taco build thread

How wide of a metal piece did you leave after the bend on your bumper? I'll probably hack mine off when I lift it here in a couple weeks. And what did you end up doing with the fender liner in there? Do you have a pic of inside the wheel well because I feel like mine is a bit more loose than I prefer in the front with the arb

 

This shows exactly what I removed. These are a little dark, but I think it shows what you’re asking for. There is a metal bracket that supports the fender that I did a small amount of trimming on, but I made the cut so that bracket didn’t end up exposed. The plastic liner, I just trimmed it to the new contour of the bumper. If you make it a little long and tuck it back in, it stays just fine. I would just zip tie it if it hung down or didn’t want to stay in place. You can see the plastic liner in the photo below.

 

Yeah man, for sure. I want to go check it out some time. I need my rock sliders to come in first. Should be 2 more weeks.

 

Saved 850 bucks by buying these little ARB stickers for my knockoff lights

 

Stay tuned hahahah

 

Well that was a disaster.. drilled the wrong hole out. I tack welded the miss drilled hole saw cutout back in and covered it with some silver tape so it’s barely noticeable

 

I applaud your wife for the pre purchase inspection. What a gal.

 

Yeah she’s awesome. She’s pretty mechanical so I tend to trust her with stuff like that

 

Im just gonna pack my next mod and head to your place. Worked on some oil changes today.

 

Do it! I need more Toyota’s in my driveway.

 

Would love to have you! I don't have sliders on my 4runner but do have skid plates and definitely use them there. Sliders are on the never ending list...

We usually have a great group of guys who come out and are always willing to spot or tug you out of a spot.

 

Put some pictures up!

 

Snorkel in the daylight.cooking lunch in the driveway, just because

 

This is BADASS!!!!

 

Sweet truck, man!

Subbed!

 

Looks great with the Km1s. How much lift you running? And how do they ride?

I want to get ways from my Load E ko2s
Hopefully when I can afford em I can swap my setup for 17s and some Jeep MTs.

 

Thanks man. Ride great on and off pavement, but they dont stop nearly as well as ATs. I’m 2” over stock supposedly. I’m not thrilled with the lift thats on it. The lift was the only mod I kept from the PO, and it’s not sticking around much longer. I’ll be replacing everything come August. Leaning toward Icon. I love the look of your suspension.

 

Pulled about 50 yards of useless red wire out of my truck last night. Just a bunch of cut wires that were shittily run from engine bay to camper or even shittilier ones spliced into the brake lights. Found out why my camper cab light did not work. It was wired into the rear running lights so you could only turn it on with the headlights and it blinked with the blinkers. I hate other people’s wiring almost as much as I hate my own. Dual battery parts should be here Monday. Blue Sea everything. Looking for input or ideas on where to put the aux battery. Oh, I took my rear seats out. Building a deck back there instead.

 

Looking good man!!

 

Checkers, first, thank you for your service, brother!

Second, that is a WICKED TRUCK! Sub'd, and thanks for the inspiration!
