Andrew H - My Build

nice setup..how much do those tires go for?

 

Beats me. Think somewhere below $200 a tire. Google that shit!

 

classic

 

Picked up the Mag-Lite mounts and installed them today.



BOOM!!

 

Nice truck! How is gas mileage on the goodyears vs the BFG's?

 

A lot better. The BFGs were 10lbs heavier per tire than the Duratracs. Not much but you can tell the difference when driving and filling up. Think I was getting low 16s in the city. Now I am averaging 17.5 in the city with the Duratracs.

 

Hey Andrew! I saw your truck today when I was doing some banking at Vantage West on Magee. Nice looking truck! I like what you've done to it.

tom

 

any updates on the new muffler?

 

Yeah I work at that station right there so my truck is usually parked there about eleven days of the month. Glad someone else on TW has "officially" spotted me in town.

The super 44? I like it a lot. It has a more aggressive sound than my 13" WF did. MPGs stayed the same. Drone isn't bad at all. I'd recommend it.

 

Swapped grills with someone off craigslist today. Slowly working on getting rid of the chrome. We are swapping bumpers on Saturday.

 

Nice lookin truck!! Good choice on grill....

 

Thanks man. Welcome to the site!

 

Picked up an extra shift today and the guy I swapped grills with came to my station today and we swapped out the bumpers!



suhweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

See ya later chrome!

 

Nice man good deal! Your truck looks sharp. Man I love that color is so nice!

 

Finally got around to mounting the two free Yakima bike mounts that I got from my brother. Installing them was a PITA.

Here's the drivers side -



Here's the passenger side -



I wasn't sure if I'd have been able to pull into the garage with the bike mounted but it clears just fine.



It seems to hold the bike in place fairly well. We'll see how it does when I'm going down the rutted roads.

 

LOVE this truck!! I actually just skimmed over the whole build and its nice to see someone else in the tucson area has a similar taste!
I'll admit I'm still a newb at the Taco business. I recently bought a completely stock black 08 TRD O/R double cab. No 4X4...but thats not gunna stop me from gettin some mods!
I know nothing about lifting...period!...but i like the way your truck looks. Curious if you could help me out a bit? What to buy and where to go to get it done? Prices?

 

Yeah man for sure! What Dept you work for? PM me with any questions and we'll get you going as soon as you'd like.

oh yeah...welcome to TW!!!

Scratch the first question. Lots of respect for you Border Patrol agents!

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks Joe!

I'm looking into getting a 1.5 AAL from ToyTec and getting some 884s to give my truck the stance it deserves!!!

Leather seats should be here next week!!!!

WWOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
