mgrande's "7.62" build

I'm just kidding , your truck looks great .

I love my Dakars too .

 

Lol I would have painted it but I have never done anything like it before. I may take it off and paint it in the near future.

 

Kind of an update on my truck. According to my ODO I have about 45k on my ATZ's. From the looks of them I have alot left on them!



Here's what my unused spare looks like.



And here's the newest additions to my new garage

 

Anything you would have done different with the suspension for example (886s, timberens, Dakar XL add a leaf) ?? Or are you happy with everything the way it is. Also do you like your Light Racing UCA's??

 

On this truck the only thing I might change is going with the 13mm spacers instead of the 10's that I have now. Im probably under 2.5 right now, or close to it. My cv's have alot of lift left. Other than that I now want a short bed to have an offroad with atrac and a locker, but that's it.

 

oh, and I have no complaints with my LR UCA's. They're a lot beefier than the stock ones.

 

Nice lookin' truck.

 

Thanks

 

Great build! and I love the "how marines do work" Video. That is bad ass. Thank you for serving our country and being a true patriot!!!

 

Thank you, soon I will actually be updating my build as I just traded my tuck in for a new 2011 DCSB OR model.

X2! DCLB FTW!

 

It was really was the lack of atrac and locker that did it for me. Im liking the shorter wheel base so far, but that wasn't my main concern.

 

can't wait to see the pics of the new truck. loved the do work video.

 

Here is my new 2011 TRD Off Road. Parts on order are Icon extended length remote resi coilovers, total chaos upper control arms, icon vs series 2,5 rear shocks, AP standard duty rear leafs with u bolt flip kit, timbren bumps for front and rear, extended brake lines, cbi rear bumper and sliders, relentless aluminum front bumper.

 

Your last truck looked great man! Can't wait to see how the new truck turns out, especially with the stuff you listed above^^

 

Thanks! I was really happy with my last truck, but after seeing the new 4runner in action I new I wanted atac. I could have put a locker in the old one sure, but another thing was I always thought that long beds looked slightly odd with armor. I used my long bed often but I'm excited to have an off road model finally. One of my favorite things so far is the GREATLY iproved brake due to the hydraulic brake booster. Its like a completely different truck when stopping.

 

Yeah the way I see it is you can build a badass truck but you're never gonna be completely happy with it if it wasn't exactly what you wanted to begin with. And atrac definitely makes a HUGE difference! I never knew the braking was that much better though

 

Me either, I would recommend the OR model to anyone on that alone.

 

Hold on, the hydraulic brake booster is only on the OR models or am I missing something?
