Jack's build thread

Currently:



I've been waiting a long time to do this. So here goes nothing.

My truck is a 2013 PreRunner 2.7L I4, and this is how it started.


But a stock truck is boring so....

Small Mods:

• Tailgate debadged (Going to do the sides soon, but lazy)
• Front mud flaps removed
• Plasti dipped my toyota emblem

Big Mods:

• 4in Maxtrac Lift Spindles
• MB 352 16x8.5 Wheels
• 2in ProComp AAL
• 285/75/R16 General Grabber AT2s

• And once I forked over a few hundred bucks to a mechanic she turned out like this. And I couldn't be happier with it.

And who knows what's in store for the long run.


Update 5/10:


Got a fancy new SOS Fabrications bumper from a guy on here.

 

Looks great. You have a manual or auto? How is it to drive with those tires? Looks really sweet man.

 

Thanks. It's an automatic. Tires ride pretty good, not very loud at all which is awesome. It's a little slow with the 285s but I'll get over it.

 

What kind of MPG hit? How much did that all run you if you don't mind.

 

Well, I've had it for like 5 hours so no word on the MPG. I'd probably guess 2-3 MPG loss.

• Spindles - $495
• Tires - $700
• Rims - $600
• AAL - $65
• Labor - $400
• -------------------
• Total = $2260

 

Not bad. Looks awesome!

 

Thanks man. I could not be happier with how it turned out.

 

Picture of the maxtracs installed with all the stock suspension stuff.

 

Replaced a a blown fuse yesterday. I think being pulled out while in neutral may of blown it.

 

Love the build so far. I really like those wheels.

 

Awesome lift bro..was wondering if you had to do any trimming.. Also, did you find the mpg #'s yet?

 

Thank you!

I trimmed a little bit of the fenders, but I still rub my cab mounts at full lock

My MPG is like 13. It's really shitty but all my driving is stop and go and I have a Lead foot.

 

13!!?? Holy shards! I guess that's the price of having a sic ride..

 

Nice build so far, not to long ago I was just sitting on a spindle lift. The MPG on gets worse from there

 

Got some cool pictures this weekend while hunting. The first one is my favorite

 

Turns out I don't rub my cab mounts. I was just rubbing the front fender.

 

hows it run with 285s
?

 

It's a little slow, but not that bad.

 

Thought about it. Not sure though because I don't want to have issues with insurance if I get in an accident.

 

Nice Truck Bud
