Iggy's $1 Taco

Do you have any pictures from when you had everything cut off? Want by o sell those extra plates?

 

I don't have pics of where I cut, but it's pretty straight forward. Yeah, I could sell the extras!

 

For the record Iggy mahn. I like your Taco.

 

Thanks dude!

 

Nice work as always dude

 

I've been very bad at taking pics of progress, I have some of my suspension upgrades that I need to post up and sorry about the crappy iPhone pics.

For about a week I had the bed off painting the BAMF towers @JLee welded up. I also wanted to weld the back to the frame to make sure it was solid. It's not necessary, but it doesn't hurt.

Building a flat bed was really tempting at this point!


Here's the back weld I did.


It was so easy to work around the truck with the bed off!


Here's a pic of the final install.


Next was some flex test. I can't bottom out the shock with 2 tires on the ground.


Full droop is great. Here it is right before the tires come off the ground.


A shot from the front.


After riding around, I really liked the how the Kings felt and I had to get a set for the front. A call to @Downsouth Motorsports fixed that. So a set of extended travel fronts were ordered with 650# 14" springs.



Next then some fine tuning lead to some @Dirt King Fab UCA's. Dirt King everything!


You can see in a pic above I was running 1" spacers all the way around. I saw that @SCSPerformance has some F5's with a 3.5" offset, so the spacers and Methods were replaced as well. I really like how simple and clean the rims are, plus they are hub centric and everything fits great. No rubbing on the shock bodies UCA or frame now.









Things left to do.

• Install ARB Compressor (Almost there. Custom box in the rear)
• Install micro CB
• Install upgraded Iggycorp second battery tray.
• Redo rear deck in prep for baby.

 

Dude that's awesome! Are you running spacers on rear? I've been looking at the f5's for sometime now and @northwesttaco has made me decide on getting some with the 3.5" bs

 

I was running 1" spacers all the around with the Method NV's. I think I could have got away with .75" in the front, but I didn't want to cut my studs.

With the 3.5" BS on the F5's no spacers are needed.

 

Sweet! That's what I wanted to hear. Now to place my order

 

Awesome! Vin will hook you up. I only wish they had center caps, but I'd rather run without center caps over spacers.

 

Haha yeah most def!
@iJonny he's not running spacers now with the BAMF kit!

 

And there's plenty of clearance with the 35's!

 

Sweet! That's going to be my next tire. What did you get flat black or gloss black?

 

You know, I'm not sure. Maybe @SCSPerformance can chime in. They look satin.

 

That's what I'm wanting! Flat/satin black

 

Last night I re thought my Hi-Lift Jack lock. I the pic above I had used a wheel lock that I have turned down on the angle on. The concept was great but didn't offer much protection since someone with some pliers could just clamp on the lock and twist it off.

With the F5's I got en extra set of lock lugs for the spare and having one left over I did the same thing. This time I made a stainless steel ring around the lug, and now the lock can't be turned by some pliers. The wheel key just clears so it turned out great.

 

Sneak peak of something I'm hoping to finish up this week.

 

Ejecto Seat?

 

Nice! Have no clue what it is but looks good
