Alpha Q Up's Build

Yup.

I didn't have the wheels off though. Not sure if that makes a difference.

 

Here is a pic in the rain...

 

Just wanted to say nice truck! You've convinced me I need 285 Duratracs and All Pro 3" leafs on my truck Now to choose a 16" wheel...

 

This build has convinced me that the first gen double cabs are freaken awesome and make me want one of these instead of my 98 Extended cab haha i love the stance and the truck! Dream first gen right here

 

hey man, love your build. What brand is the topper? I looked at the brand softopper online and they look ugly, yet yours looks awesome

 

The brand is Softopper. Not sure why it looks different. Maybe it's the other upgrades along with the softopper that makes it look better? :dunno:

 

so how are you liking the lift? I'm gunna be running the same setup soon.. pros ? cons?

 

It's a descent set up. It fits my needs. I do light off road (periodically) and it makes the truck look nicer.

The only con is short people complaining about the hight. (I'm 5'11" it's fine for me)

One thing I would change is the rear shocks. If I were to do it again I would have gone with 5125's or 5150's in the rear. Because when it was time to upgrade my leaf pack, I was limited to a 3" leaf pack. (I wanted the expos)

Best of luck with your truck. Hope that helps

 

Haha where can i get this lol

 

Same here 98cbtacoma. If I had to do it again, I'd be looking for double cabs. The long bed has been useful on occasion, but IMO the double cab would be overall more useful in the future, and they look great.

OP nice rig, I'm really digging the lift, rims and tires. Thats basically what I want on my truck. How is the ride quality in the rear? I have 5125s and don't like the valving, go 5150 or 5160 when the time comes (softer compression, stronger rebound).

 

New TG bumper installed.

How did you get the lights on the speedo guages to turn blue???

 

Swapped the bulbs with blue LED lights (plug n play)

 

nice bumper! and T emblem!!!

 

Thanks buddy,

Trying to get as much armor as I can to join you guys camping. I probably won't make this years though.

 

Here are different renditions of the same thing I did. Glad you like the bumper!

I really like the truck man. Looks good and functional but yet simple. What wheels are those?

 

Thanks I think the way you did it would works best. The bumper swap was perfect timing. Thanks again.

Thanks, they are procomp 7089's with duratracs.

I think I may change it up soon though. Maybe go 15's for a wider stance.

 

When I have some time, I will chop out those mounts and save 'em for ya.

I have 15's on my truck and while it was nice to do right off the bat, I would just put wheel spacers on if I were only looking for a wider stance. Just my opinion You'll spend a HELL of a lot more on new tires and wheels than if you just did wheel spacers.

Might be looking into getting rid of this All Pro rear bumper soon...
