Datsik's Build Thread

One of the sickest tacomas I've ever seen! I wish I had deep pockets like you!

 

Thanks man, me too

 

Yeah, closer pics of the mounts would be great. I'm trying to fab up something similar. Did you bolt them into the factory holes or directly to the roof rack?

 

Brackets were made that sit flush against the OEM roof racks, they are bolted in on the inside of the racks and held by nuts on the inside. The wiring is routed through the passenger under the rack; had to drill a hole for that.

I'll try to get pictures. Just been a little busy with the holidays.

 

I'm leaning towards 305/70/16 duratracs with some cheapo MB 352 wheels for now. I know the duratracs have good reviews. But what about the toyo AT 2s?

And will I regret not getting 35s? I want to still with some aggressive all terrains.

 

Pretty sure I know what your response will be Tyler lol...

 

The Toyo AT2's are amazing tires for all around use. Not a gnar tire off road but will tackle most things well, as much as any AT. The Duratracks have a little more aggressive look and grip but are a bit soft. The Toyo's come with a 60K warranty now, if that matters to you. the Toyos also come in a 295/75R16 which is just a hair narrower and a half inch taller and will probably give you less trouble with your fender flairs. The Hankook MT also comes in a 295 if you are looking into a bit more aggressive pattern.

 

Ya, you're a closet 35. You know you want em but are trying to be conservative and responsible. Save some money and do it, otherwise you will be spending double when you do it in a few months anyway.

 

Hahaha looking at 35s now

 

badass.

 

Sick truck bro! Can you take some night shots of the LED bar?

 

Thanks fellas. I'll try to take some tomorrow night.

 

Absolutely one of my favorite trucks on the site.
I was contemplating wrapping my truck a little bit lighter shade than yours. How much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking?

 

I think he scored it for free, sponsored I got quoted about 2200 for full wrap on mine here in AZ

 

Well that's a good price.

 

Looks awesome dude

 

Thanks a lot brother, I got hooked up through a friend but for our trucks it costs 2-2.5k.

 

Excited to see how yours turns out man, that's a pretty good price.

 

Thanks a lot man
