JStreetS: 2009 DCLB Build Thread

Nice man, I am really happy wih the way it turned out! Keep me posted! I went with a little narrower 33 than most, keeps the rig a little quieter on the highway and saves a few pounds with each tire. Just waxed my taco today - cant beat 70 in jan, thx Texas!

 

True...thx Chris! I think the winter fuel mix is hurting me too at the pump, let's see if the 100+ summer days help!

 

70 in texas?! NICE!!!! im freezing my @$$ off in oregon!!! its 37 degrees right now and snowing haha. personally, i like the look 6" with the 33s...the tires dontt look "stuffed" and like you said...it is a little lighter than the 35s. 4wheelparts is taking forever to ship my kit over here...i can't wait to throw it on!!!

 

I wonder what 4WPs you are using. I just left an assignment in the Tricities (WA) and was talking with 4WP in Portland...In the end, I knew I was moving so didn't bother. I am missing the west coast, although I guess I am not missing much snowboarding - I remember I was riding Mt. Hood last year on Halloween weekend.

 

Wow, my reputation points jumped from 10 (post build thread and lift) to 100+ in 3 weeks! Thanks TW...now if you want to send money to help pay off my lift, PM me for my address Thanks!

 

Truck is looking awesome man. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours did.

 

yea 4WP Portland said they had to order a few extra parts for the suspension lift because pro comp did not come out with the 2012 kit yet. i don't know whats taking them so long...i see a guy in washington already has is on his 12. im getting weaker everyday just waiting for them to call me.

were finally getting some fresh snow...im hoping to making it up to mt.hood in the next month or so.

 

I gotcha. I think I was dealing with Ralph. He was too happy with me, picked out my whole set up but I didn't give a CC. He used the company account and called me 2 wk later with everything at he shop. I never fully committed! Plus, I was surprised how much it was to do a 3" lift...I guess whether it's a 3 or 6 in, the process is basically the same. I was quoted 4600 I think. My setup now was less than 1k more... I am jealous you don't pay tax for the service!

 

thats funny because ralph is taking care of my order lol, but hes been helpful and straight up. i ended up paying $3700 for lift, tires, wheels and installation...oh that includes mounting and balancing, alignment, etc. i was able to get some of those end of the year specials which saved me about 6 or 7 hundred dollars, but u scored paying just over 1k for your set up...how did you go about that? thats a pretty good deal!!!!

 

LOL! Tell Ralph I said hi - maybe send him a link to my build thread - JK!!! Glad you were able to take advantage of the savings. I used 4WP to get price matches on my set up.

That is a fair price for your set up. Mine was 4200 I think, then I wanted to add steps. All in all, was about $4700 I think from them. I managed to pay just over $5200...lift - $1250, wheels - $800, tires - $1400, labor and everything else was 1600...then comes the TAX lost a few hundred there!

Ohwell, very happy with the setup - would have paid more for the service I was provide! Rock and Roll Offroad was awesome!

 

How's the build going?

 

lol u didnt hear? long story short...4WP promised me the 17s would fit with the stage one pro comp...they dont fit!!! so i have to wait till saturday to pick up my 18s and new tires.

 

Oh ya - I saw that on the other thread! My bad...hopefully 4WP learned something!

 

Haha I been bugging the hell out of those guys...they must be just as annoyed as I am. Oh well, they deserve it!!!! My truck should be done tomorrow, but I gotta work so I won't be able to pick it up till Saturday morning. Hopefully I'll have some pics up that night.

 

The shop that lifted my tacoma just posted a YouTube video of another tacoma project.
