That nice Nikon and you chose the iPhone!

Truck looks good.

 

Ha ha didnt bring it to work with me. But went out today so got some coming right now.

 

So went out and took some pictures today!







Yup thats my dog rolling in POO!!















Had to get it a little dirty crossing some water.

 

truck looks amazing, love the bumper fenders and hood. Sick truck!

 

There we go!

Nice photos

Still can't decide if I want to just go with All-Pros or get clearance flares like Anton and the rest have done!

 

All Pros

 

Looking good man. You going to make it to the PRS Camping trip in truckee?

 

Well you can always try the clearance flares and have the All-Pros as a back up. Im thinking about doing the rear flares on my truck. They might be taped on by time I get done hacking them!!

I havent seen that thread yet Ill have to check it out. I was waiting to see if I can make it to his mod day just to help out. I always end up doing all my mods myself. I dont like to wait. I went before and it was crazy people everywhere working on there trucks. Seth runs around like a mad man. He bust his ass to help everyone.

 

So after recalibrating my speedometer it seems I have 3.55 gears? Only way I could get it correct was to change it from the stock 3.73 to 3.55. And 265/70/16 to my 305/70/17. Now its spot on with my gps. It seemed weird to me.

 

Nice truck

 

Thanks

 

Hows your stock skid holding up? I still have the front IFS one, it's in pretty good shape if you want it. You could pound out the dents in your other one and then reinforce it for shits and giggles or something? I don't need it.

 

Ive been thinking about getting those blueprints from you and making one. But that might have to wait for now.

 

If you want to wait until I get back in late August we can pull mine off and use the template and my skid to make one. 50$ in steel and some shop time and you'll have a bad ass skid.

 

Went out and did a little wheeling today in the rain and snow. Just some pics from some crossing Ive been wanting to try.













Its a good thing my bumper was already beat up. Ill be glad to get my new high clearance.

 

you sir need to get a spotter when you go off roading, i could be that guy. but you need to pay for me to fix my truck up so i can get to where you go with that truck of yours. jk but the truck looks great.

 

Where was that?

 

Yeah its such a small spot wouldnt have done much good and my spotter was being my camera guy and didnt want to get wet. Plus my bumper is so weak I can push it back into place myself.
You dont need to fix your truck just gas it you'll make it!

At the very end of South Meadows where it dead ends.

 

Beautiful truck. I'm about to get the same wheel and tire setup, I'm going with 275 or 285s though. I'm painting my badges and emblems red, and getting my Toyota emblem painted red also, I think with the red in the jesters without the chrome looking bolts it will turn out nice. Any tips on removing them? And it looks like you put some replacement bolts back in? Can I get some details on that? Thanks for your time.

 

They are very easy to remove as they should come with the allen tool to take them out. As far as putting replacement bolts back in I cant remember the size but I just took one of the original aluminum bolts that came out and had it measured to get the correct size. How ever you will need a bit smaller of a bolt since your taking out the huge aluminum washer basically. I was going to go for more of a rugged allen bolt but since I broke off a few of the last ones I went with a smother more flush bolt if it got hit wouldnt break inside the wheel.

Sorry couldnt be more specific. I can get more info after work. I think I still have the reciept from when I purchased the bolts. Or I can measure them for you.
