Gear Head's Silver 2000 TRD Build

Looks good bud

 

Thanks man! Any luck with the 4x4 swap?

 

Just to update this a little bit I'm closing on my house April 4th so I'll finally have my own place to work on the truck. Taxes should be coming back in a few weeks so I'm planning on picking up a trail gear bumper and some 35" mtrs

 

Still need them sliders big money. And I bought a 09 4x4

 

Oh shit! Pics?? What you doing with your 1st gen? And let me pop on over to your thread to take a look at them and check prices again. When do you need to know by to have them ready by the meet?

 

atleast 3weeks before that way I can build and ship. Because I wont be able to bring them up with. My bad for that. Plus I got 10% off right now

 

Nice! What's first on the mod list?

 

Well I paid for some spidertrax wheel spacers around 4 today and havent heard back from him. So if he does send them on monday its spacers lol

 

Ha keeping it simple. Hopefully lift wheels and tires will come soon

 

I should have lift/tires/sliders and atleast rear or front bumper and bedrack befor the trip

 

Hell yeah, can't wait to see the build up of it

 

Updated OP with current pics.


Looking into an 01-04 front end conversion now. Grille ~$50, ebay headlights ~$50, hood~$100-$150, hood latch ~$20. Going to call a few places tomorrow for the hood cause I ain't paying shipping on one haha.

 

I'm 99% sure you need the fenders as well....

 

I've heard of multiple people do it without needing them so we'll see. I close on my house April 4th so I wont be doing anything until then anyways. Just trying to plan ahead so I can break my new garage in with some projects!

 

This guy did it without the fenders. Looks like the 01-04 headlights mount to the 01-04 fenders but he just made a little bracket out of aluminum to solve the issue

So I'm pretty sure I'm going with a trail gear bumper now. I was going to have one built by a jeep guy locally but I don't want to wait and don't have anything else to drive (he needs the truck since he only does jeeps). The question is stinger or lightbar? I am torn because I really like both. I plan on picking up 35's in April so keep that in mind when looking at the stinger





Or

 

I'm not a fan of the stinger.

 

Cody's truck makes the light bar look so good, I'm not a fan of the stingers

 

Yeah.. Most people aren't but I like it for some reason. The price is only $10 difference from Low Range Off Road so I have though about just buying the stinger and cut it off if I don't like it.
