First thing I did was painted the Toyota emblem on the front grille black.
I also tried to color match my grill but it came out a way different shade and some areas didnt stick very well.


So I just decided to buy a grill from Toyota parts barn and it looks perfect.


I was slowly acquiring pieces to my transformation. Since it was winter I didnt want to work on the truck anyway so I waited.




Then the time came where I got my new rims installed with Goodyear duratracs. SO Sick. I love how aggressive they are.



The next day I lifted her up and I couldnt be happier. I got exactly what I wanted.





MODS:
5100's with Eibach Coils @ 0
1.5 Wheelers Progressive AAL
U-bolt Flip
Pro-comp 7089 17x9
Goodyear Duratrac 265 70 17
Various Sockmonkey Decals
Weather Tech Liners
Pop and Lock
Color matched Grill
Debadged tailgate
Black emblems

Now I can sleep at night with wonderful dreams.

CNY Jeep Meet



All waxed up after a nice day of offroading

 

Very nice! How is the ride after the lift?

 

Nice!

 

The ride is fantastic. I wish I didnt end up with as much rake as I did, its equal to stock so Im not concerned about it.

 

How did you do the supports for the bed?

 

where was the cny jeep meet held at?

 

The CNY Jeep meet was at Tassel Hill outside of Waterville. Its state land with some nice trails and areas to play around.

The bed utilized the slots in the "bed liner" to support two 2x6's horizontally and then there are two more 2x6s attached to those that are running vertically. Lay on a sheet of 3/4 ply and voila you made yourself a bed. ​

 

What bed liner?

 

I meant the inside of the truck bed. I know its not a bed liner but I couldnt just say bed considering I built a bed(for sleeping) inside a bed(truck bed). Its too confusing haha

 

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE CB RADIO. I would like inside the cab pictures as well. showing where you mounted the radio maybe on the console???? What kinda of sending and reception range do you get with the radio with the antenae.

thank
que ball

 

Good looking truck. Sometimes I wish I had gone with the red.

 

sweeet lookin truck! sits with a nice stance! that tire and rim setup is sharp.
you could set the front 5100's to .85 to make it set almost level couldn't you? although the rake is almost stock as you mention so not a biggy...
I have been considering the exact setup as you (tires and suspension) except front 5100's @ .85 with rear tsb w/ 1.5 aal.

sometimes i wish i went with reb or even blue, but the silver is soo easy to keep clean lookin

Lookin good!

 

how do you like your duratracs?

 

just wondering, did you use spline drive lugs for your 7089s? Also where did you get them from as I am shopping around for same wheel

 

they needed a taco to look cool
