Here's the day i got it back in April 2017


Went down to Mule Expedition outfitters really cool group of people. saw they had the wheels i wanted, and knowing how hard it is to grab a set of SCS Ray-10's i grabbed all 5


Than i got them mounted a couple days later with some Goodyear MTR with kevlar.


couple hundred miles north of me had a guy selling some stock suspension. only wanted the spindles but he gave me everything and good thing he did because i needed the diff brackets and misc. Stuff.
The plan is to go long Travel, if not than a mid travel setup. Hence the OEM suspension.

So far so good. Dig the wheels also. Great choice

 

What size are those tires? Look good!

 

I'm confused... why would you have the dealer put a lift/tires on, when you're just going to swap it all out?

 

They are 35x12.5. And thank you.

I bought the truck like that. I didn't ask them to put that lift on.

 

Ahh. Did you have to pay for it?

 

Is your truck a 4x2?

 

In other news. Got a small update. More parts!!

 

I payed for the price of a DCSB limited minus the lift if that's what you're asking

It is a 4x4. So i have to weld the cross member.

 

Got a decent update for you guys. Sold one of my projects yesterday, sad day but i spent more time fixing it than enjoying it. It Went to a good home.


Went down to my local store, Mule Expedition Outfitters. If you're ever strolling through issaquah or live in Washington check them out. Love that place customer service and prices are just awesome


Got some goodies and also paid for my lockers and air compressor
Here's a cool pic i took in front just cause

 

Made a bracket for the switch pro.
Mock up before paint. Not the best but it will do for now until i can make a better one.

 

Got around to finishing the switch pro before it goes in to the shop tomorrow for the air lockers.

 

Finally got back from the shop. Got front and rear ARB lockers aswell as regeared to 4.88's also picked up a Tepui Kukenam sky in OD green.

 

This truck amazes me!! I Hope I can get my truck to this level of quality one say. I have a question about the lift, how do you like it? I keep hearing never go over 3in for functionality. I too have a DCLB it seems to me that having a 6in lift would keep the rear end higher while coming down step slope and avoiding the scraping?

 

Looking good!

 

Thank you. as far as lift goes. i believe a 6" lift can be just as affective as a 3 inch lift. king makes customs coilovers even for 6" lift, alcan makes 6" leaf packs. if you do want to go with 6 inch don't go fabtech, go bds it retains stock sway bar location and more options with skid plates.
i wont get into it with DB lifts as i don't want this to turn into a debate thread. as far as scraping I'm not to worried about it i plan on going with a hi clearance rear bumper, i expect to scratch the truck.

 

Thank you!

 

Looks awesome dude! Sad to see that 240 go.. was it SR'd?

 

No I put most of the money in the suspension. But have a fully built 2jzgte that was suppose to go into it. But its going in my dads old 84 supra.
