The RAB Build

IMO it's a lot harder to learn than mig, my welds still suck really, but practice makes perfect! and your right, they are a hell of a lot cheaper!

 

Ebay clear corners?

 

Not sure, I got them from "safety dang" on ttora. probably ebay though

 

Looks real sharp man. I like the angle pieces where it veers off to the sides it's pointer instead of more curved which is nice.

 

thanks man, I like it too

 

I don't know if you replaced your headlights, but I got some GE nighthawk platinums and they KICK ASS.

 

I actually put my HID's back in, I found out that DDM sent them to me, built wrong haha, the shield was upside down, so I put the headlight in upside down so the shield was facing the right way. anyways, got em in and they're great!

I'm excited to do my hella's for the highway distance lighting.

 

Thanks!

no rear bumper for a while, I've gotta make some camping stuff...
bed bar and or bed rack, and a boat rack, then I should build some sliders...

 

WOW, awesome truck man! I cant believe I havnt seen this one yet... I can always appreciate a build with good quality photos.

I live in Alberta now, but Im from Nelson BC originally. I plan on doing some wheeling out that way this summer, maybe ill roam up to K-town and you can show me some trails!

Your trip along the Western states totally made me jealous! haha me and my cousin drove from Van. down the pacific coast highway all the way to San Diego and back home through Vegas etc... Such a cool drive!

Keep up the good work on the Taco! Cheers

 

Nice truck RAB89 ! it's been long time u own it ?

 

I want a duratrac review!

 

they're good.

 

sup brah

 

brb.

 

Would you buy again? You take em off road yet?

 

Alright Duratracs!

road noise:
great, not loud whatsoever in my tire size. 265/75R16

dry traction:
great! no problems whatsoever, they do float a bit when you get going too fast! (150km/h)

ice traction:
they are significantly better on corners than my bfg a/t's. where I would have slid around a corner with the bfg's, the duratracs hold on tight!

snow traction:
descent, they do pretty well in all types of snow, but I would say the bfg a/t's were better in the deeper snow.

I have not aired them down, but I think they would float nicely on the harder packed snow if aired down to 12ish psi.

would I buy again? maybe! I had great success with the bfg a/t's. 50,000km, 0 flat tires, great traction off road even as they got to the end of their life, quiet on road. only gripe is they threw rocks like a mofo on dirt roads.

no report on dry dirt roads or mud with the duratracs

 

thanks

 

quick 12 hr drive sunday, so I picked up a piece of plate for the front bumper for better aerodynamics! I'll throw it on tonight or tomorrow and get a pic.
