Tuff E'nuff for Pink

Finished wiring up the bed lights and the 12v socket today. Thanks to W8N4MUD for taking a pic of the part number for the D-rings on his build I ordered and installed those too. Now I can chain the spare down till finish the tire carrier.

 

Nice bro!

 

Thanks!
I finally ran all the hose for the OBA and installed the quick release in the drivers side cubby. I do plan on adding a regulator so o can run power tools. I was going to wait til the bumpers came in so I know where to mount the regulator and a couple more quick disconnects. Since we are doing a trail run on Sunday I'd like to have the OBA functional since the trail turns to deep sand. I really would like to finish this soon, all my parts for the AR-15 I'm building just came in!

 

Armor should be coming soon!
Sorry for the wait, things have been crazy on my end but it looks like it'll calm down a bit in a couple weeks and then your stuff will be on its way.

 

Woot! Thanks for the update Eric.

 

Nice build. Your girl has good taste!

 

Thats why she chose me!

 

!NICE!

 

Thanks!

Got the OBA wired up finally! I have a slight leak somewhere that I'll look for tomorrow. I still need to ziptie the wire looms I used. Thinkin I'll wrap the loom that's near the exhaust with aluminum foil til I can find a better heat shield. Tomorrow I need to go through my gear bag and get everything ready to go wheelin on Sunday. I need to readjust my Staun deflaters to 18 psi I think. I have em set at 12 for when I used em for the Jeep. I'll air em down tomorrow and see what they look like.

Mounted the gauge/switch in the glove box. What a PITA that was!

 

Got to test the truck out this weekend. Still rubbing plastic pretty good. I need to raise the front about a half inch. Was gonna wait till I got the bumpers and sliders on but I may change my mind if we go wheelin again before they come in. The ride is awesome! The front just gobbled rocks and dips right up. The rear stays nice and planted, very controlled. Washboard roads are nothing but a slight vibration. The OBA is so nice! Went from 45-50 minute air up time to 8.5! That's 18 to 32 psi in all 4 tires.

 

Sweet build man. Congrats!

 

Thanks! It's been fun putting it all together.

 

When wheelin this weekend. Got to hit some high speed sections and I really like this suspension! We want to hit some trails when we go to Las Vegas this Jan to play in the desert. Here are a few pics.






And a few Poser pics!

 

lookin real good!!!!

I like the pressure gauge/ switch.. is the switch to turn on the air compressor? 8.5 minutes to air up 4 tires is really impressive. I'll skim back through the build to look for more info on the oba set up, but anything else you can tell me would be great.

Thanks man!

 

Yep, its the switch for the oba. Came with the Viair Constant duty kit. The tank fills up 1 tire before the compresser turns back on.

 

Nice build! love to see quality parts and more importantly quality workmanship also really like the choice of graphics and colors they look awesome. I too would have to say it's one of the nicer builds here

But here's the big question....does she let you drive it??

 

Thanks for the complements! Yea she does let me drive it but I really have to sweet talk her

 

Love the truck! Can I send you mine to mod?

 

I grew up in Rye, Co, which is farther down 165 passed Bishop's Castle, my dad still lives there. I miss it up there. So much more peaceful than here in Denver. My sister lives in PWest, drives a white '96 tacoma, with 2nd Gen bedside decals and some 31" dynopros. I'll have to tell her to keep an eye for your wifes ride.

 

Hey man this is one of the nicer truck builds I've seen on here. The pink is done in a very tasteful way and honestly I like it. Not a fan of skulls but it's not my truck if i was doing it for my wife, if I had one, I would maybe do a Pink "TRD" but it still looks awesome either way.
