The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland)

Wow, almost another year since the last post. What happened here...

 

Yep, you too now!

 

Anyone have 05-11 oem headlights and climate control?
Also looking for 3rd gen oem springs

 

FWIW, i bought some new ones from RockAuto, about $80 a piece. Smoked TRD ones too.

Might be easier to just buy a new set, depending how quickly you need a set.

 

Yeah not really in a rush just want oem so I can run the harness upgrade for better light output...

 

Bump from the dead


Anyone know of or have a 2.5gen hood or passenger fender for sale ?

 

Bump for Revival.

 

I purchased this vehicle new in 2013. At 1200 miles, I had a reputable local off-road shop install the Fabtech drop bracket lift. I also had our local audio shop install JL Audio components, including all door speakers, and added a 5-channel amp and subwoofer. I also had a remote start intalled while at thier shop. Since then, I have personally completed the following work with the help of my GT Freinds...

• BlueSea two-battery system. The first battery, located under the hood, is new (about 6 months old) and powers the winch and starter, while the second battery, which is dead and needs to be replaced. The battery runs the fridge, multiple power outlets, stereo system, and extra lighting.
• ARB onboard air compressor mounted under the hood on the p/s.
• ARB fridge with homemade slide-out.
• ARB front air locker with switches located in front of the cup holders below the stereo mounted to a custom plate from a TW member (can't remember their name )
• Chevy 14 bolt rear axle with Grizzly limited slip locker. There has been about 1K miles driven since the rear axle was installed. One offroad trip and back & forth to work to keep it moving.
• Decked system in the bed. The left drawer is stained with rust, due to it being left open during a car wash, and was not checked for some time. The spring that holds that drawer closed rusted also, and now does not stay shut.. I just place a chock block between it and the tailgate to keep it closed now. Unfortunately, all my tools rusted.
• Leitner bed rack system with one regular GearPOD, one XL GearPOD, one universal mounting plate with two ROTOPAX 2-gallon fuel cans & mounts, one extra load bar, HI-lift brackets and a flagpole bracket (not mounted).
• Bed stiffeners.
• Prinsu roof rack with a Heritic light bar.
• Fabtech 6 in drop bracket lift, with blocks in the rear and top hats up front. Rear shocks are Dirt Logic Fabtech's.
• SPC upper control arms.
• 17" Fuel wheels (I have a set of 5) but currently am running ProComp beadlocks on the rear 14 bolt.
• Tires are Nitto Ridge Grapplers up front (37x13.5R 17LT) and Maxxis Trepadors on the rear (37x12.5 17LT). I have a full set (4) of each.
• Cab mount chop to clear the tires.
• Old Man Emu springs with an additional helper spring.
• Custom made skid plates.
• BMAF sliders.
• SSO front winch bumper.
• Smitybilt 10K synthetic winch.
• Allpro rear bumper customized with a rear swingout spare tire carrier.
• Relocated rear camera into trailer hitch.
  
• Ditch lights with brackets (never ran wires).
• Midland MTX100 two way radio w/RoadPro external speaker.
• Cobra 29LTD CB w/Highgear external speaker.
• Custom gear shift knob from CBoy808.
• Custom climate control knobs.
• Meso dual (red/white) map lights.
• Color matched front grill.
• Custom rear taillights color matched (completed by a TW member. I can't recall their name )
• Ultraguage
• Tekonsha break controller.
• Dynamat along the back of the cab to reduce road noise.
• Custom bed decals (created by TW member. I cant recall their name either )

However, it needs the following repairs...

• Replacing the second battery.
• Replacing the A/C compressor (pulled vacuum and is holding, so no leaks).
• Replacing the speed sensor on the rear axle (switching out the rear axle has eliminated the speedometer and turned on the ABS and Traction Control lights.
• The front right CVC axle is also broken, but I have another one available.
• P/S mirror was broken on the trail but I was able to replace the lens with a universal one from Autozone and it still functions correctly.
• No rear seats.
• No rear P/S seatbelt. (was removed to replace my sons in his truck to keep my grandson safe .
• Plenty of bumps and scrapes from the trails .

I'm sure I'm missing something but am trying to be as honest and transparent about my rig. I built this truck to be a street legal rock crawler, my bug out truck to go anyhwere I needed. Only reason I am selling is that I have taken over my wifes 19' 4Runner as she is incapable of climbing in and out of the truck after her back surgery. I would love to see this go to someone who appreciates it for what it is. The Book of Faces does not fair well for this kind of vehicle.

I am the original owner, and I have a clear blue Texas title in hands.

I am also open to trades of equal value or trades plus cash.
