2015 Sport Build

Fronts are done! Really happy with how the passenger side came out. As you can see on the driver side, the bumper cover isn’t as clean. The jigsaw grabbed something and shot left, which caused me to cut too much off. Oh well, now 33s look tiny. Will hopefully be getting a bumper later this year

 

Looks great! Will you be eventually getting 35s?

 

Thanks again for the help. And yes but I’d like to regear before then. But I don’t think I have enough knowledge to do it myself and it’s quite pricey

 

Yeah it’s something that I didn’t want to mess with myself. My needle bearing is just starting to go. I wish I remembered to replace it when the shop had the diff out. Well worth the price in my eyes, although with 4.88 and 34s, my MPG went down to 10-13mpg... I sure with 35s it’ll go back up to about 13-16mpg. Or at least I hope

 

Yeah that’s rough with 33s. I’m thinking just going 4.56 with 35s, really don’t rock crawl Or anything like that. And the needle bearing is super easy as long as everything goes right. The tool didn’t fit my truck or my brothers so that caused a bunch of issues

 

Pelican cases cane for the Prinsu. Thankfully for ExpertVoice, these were 40% off retail. Hopefully I can get these mounted this week

 

Mounted the pelican cases today. Damn, they are sturdy and built well. Also took another half inch or so off my front fenders. Used a Dremel this time and came out a bit more straight. Also used some trimlok, which look way better thanks to @2012TacomaGuy . Going to do my rears Thursday hopefully

 

Damn! Those pelicans look like they can support the weight of a truck. Fenders look good

 

Only reason I bought them was because of the discount. But definitely worth it. And thanks man, the Dremel was much better

 

Welp... realized the ORB fitting that connects the reservoir to the shock was loose. So it leaked a decent amount of oil from the shock. Might have to send it into ADS for a rebuild. Annoying, I don’t have the tools/knowledge to service my own

 

Got these installed today @SpikerEng loving the extra room and assisted opening. Went about 5 inches higher vs stock

 

Nice work! The extra room is always great

 

Fenders are done! Took about 1.75 off in the rear. Took me about 9 hours or so for the fronts and rears. Pretty happy with how it came out. Super easy to do, just takes a long time to make sure it’s right

 

Damn looks better than mine!

 

idk about that, my bumper is not lined up too well lol

 

Awesome truck! Did you put the fender Liner back on the passenger side to cover the intake? Still in debate what I’m going to do about that on mine.

 

I forget what Alex did, but you can always reroute your air intake into the cowl of the truck. It’s what I did, and I have absolutely no issues with it. It’s only about ~$40 in parts. Otherwise, you’ll need to pull the trigger on a $600 plastic snorkel

 

Yeah I had a snorkel for a couple years and took it off. Back to factory intake. Thinking about rerouting it into the cowl.

 

Do you have a source for the parts you used?

 

I missed the testing round of those and waited (kinda)patiently to buy one, finally got it installed at the beginning of April. I like it, with a Ram mount it’s my favorite phone placement so far.
