brads tacoma build

Awesome work on it!!

 

Look no further man! http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/moab/243311-2013-t-co-gathering-official-thread.html

and then I have an excuse to see your rig in person!

 

damn thats at the worst time for me! I'll see what i can do, would love to make it!

 

still need to finish and touch up a few things, do the bars, bumper and wheels black. so far i dig it, quick and easy way to change the look, it'll be nice to see how it holds up!

 

That was fast! Looks 10000times better haha, what color is that? I assumed it would just be black haha

 

thank you, initially I planned on going black, but realized it's way to common. I went with a matte camo green. It turned out cool, I think it'll look way better once all the black is paint to give some contrast.

 

question for those who might know, my coil overs came with a 600# spring. they feel somewhat soft, but then again maybe valving can help that. question is with the added weight of the arb bumper and the winch should i step up to a heavier spring? 650? 700?

 

came out great man! and yea once your badges are all black and the chrome is completely gone itll be perfect

 

Id ask the lt guys, they normally run 600lbs springs, since the bumper is over a hundred pounds I'd say 650 you be ok.

 

still need to black things out and peel off some of the over spray, but got a call from a buddy who was stuck so i left it as is for now. probably finish it up later tonight.

 

Eventful night, get a phone call from a friend who wants to go play in the snow. Blizzard conditions, drifts etc. arrive at first destination and get a call from another buddy who's stuck. He's about 10 minutes away, drive to him pull him out and start breaking trail for our lil convoy. 15 min later get a phone call, buddy's stuck about 10 miles away lol. Drive over and find this. While breaking drifts he couldn't see the road and got sucked in. All in all a great time






After a long night of putting in work the lil guy is ready to take a nap and thaw out.

Bed was completely full of snow.

 

Updates???? I know you got some

 

Lol I'll post some pics later, nothin real crazy so far but I got a few things in the works.

 

Woot!!! Check your other spring thread also!

 

Thanks! Now here's the latest update I have-had the bed done in bed liner, I was sick of looking at the ugly industrial paint flaking off, I also decided to get my back up light situation fixed and figured these would do the trick
I used two rigid dually's up top (those aren't the final mounting positions I'm still waiting on the bar mounts) and a rigid srm down low, all flood style. I also have a back up camera ill be putting in soon.

Finally got the driveline off and had it rebuilt. They modified it to have more travel and installed a chevy 1 ton carrier. I ghetto fanned the rest of it in with some scrap iron I had lol. It's ugly but pretty solid, I'll clean it up later

 

Cool! Whens the 50t going on,?
