What's a good deal?

 

go to ebay find the cheapest, then go to dealership and tell them you want it at that price.

 

Why yes, yes it has....no empieces wuey

If I where you I'd only buy the tranny fluid from Toyota and use Lucas for the diff...
Why don't to just take the truck to get the trang service don't.... There's a place in walnut that does it for like $70-85

 

I put mobile 1 in my rear diff. Its was like ~$10/qt iirc but it only takes 3qts and it is already compatible with auto LSD

 

All done

 

makes your truck look SUPER narrow. Bumper looks good

 

Idk how I feel about it...
But my ? Is why plate when you're going LT right?

 

Because its gunna be a super gnar expo truck brochacho! lol

Matt, be sure you reinforce your bumper mounts. Everyone I have seen with LT and a plate bumper has bent or broken them.

 

I guess...like don't get me wrong a platebumper looks grect with LT
Just those lighthoops over the lights...make the truck look "fat"
Different for sure

 

Alot of guys have LT and plate bumpers they are all just running either the allpro kit or tc 2 over kit and dont do any high speed stuff lol

 

I know lol, but Matt will do the high speed stuff I bet you anything

 

Ya but when they haul ass through the gnars, the stock mounts don't jive.

 

Thats true matt will go and jump his truck like he did the other day and his bumper will be left on the trail where he landed hahaha

 

Pelfreys plate bumper ties into the sway bar mounts with some beefy gnar gnar brackets/gusset type assembly. Kind of eliminates the need to beef the stock mounting area. But more is always better I guess.



The bracket/gusset is the piece with the L shaped weld. You can see the gold color bolt in the hole...that goes from the bumper to the bracket. The bracket looks as if it eliminates the crush zone on the frame because it ties into the sway bar mount holes behind the crush zone.

Bumper looks good Matt!!

 

lol. Idk, I agree with Rodger. Its a badass bumper but personally im not a fan of the side hoops. Idk why but I think of a dragonfly when I see them. I guess if someone got the bumper and didn't like the hoops, they could always cut them off. Its mod-able. lol

 

Trust me...

 

In response to all.......thanks for the kind words

I am going LT, but I will be reinforcing the mounts, brackets, and plating the frame where it mounts. I've always been a fan of the 3 hoop, and nobody has done it with fiberglass (as far as I've seen), so I wanted to try it. I think it came out great, the side hoops are very functional because now even the glass is protected.

I will jump my truck again, but not until I'm 100% confident the mounts and gussets can take the beating. Besides, if you do the suspension right, and get it all tuned correctly, you shouldn't be coming down hard enough to break anything like that.

The goal for my rig is the best of both worlds...LT and fiberglass for high speed stuff, 4x4 and plate bumpers for protection on rocks. Will it work and not look like the owner has split personality disorder? Only one way to find out...

 

This is how I originally wanted mine to look...or closely resemble lol


But wouldn't benefit me at all...

I do want a rear plate tho

 

Isn't it 35mm? You can find large sockets in the tool sections at most decent auto part*stores, harbor freight, or sears.

 

Do you plan on reinforcing your tire mount?
