2006 White trooper Build

Was off work today and decided to relocate my horns. I figured I would get a jump start on my grill an move the horns so that's one less thing I have to do. Mounted them beside each headlight and used stock mounting holes. No drilling, nothing involved. Only thing I had to do was cut and splice the wires and extend them long enough to reach each side. While I was in their I painted my radiator sides and the middle black.

 

Came home earlier and recived my grille from homertaco, so i didnt waste any time. I pulled the grille and started cutting! I got the cuts done, the bondo in but i couldnt round up sandpaper. SO i will finish the project in the am!

 

Got the grille finished earlier. Finially!

 

Looks great!

 

Nice work, I would personally center the toyota emblem though looks kinda funky their to me

 

Great looking truck man!

 

I think so too, but it's his truck, If he likes it he should leave it.

 

Ive searched the forum and ive seen alot of trucks with the emblem in the center, even though theirs no trucks local with the grille or emblem in the center. I didnt want to be normal, i like it in the corner. Its odd and makes people look. Was at the toyota lot today picking up parts for the rear diff mod and the sales manager was snapping pics when i came out! lol

today i pulled the trigger on some rubber! I got Toyo open country at2s for 160.00 put on and no taxes After i got home i tore it back down and installed the spidertrax spacers and done the rear diff mod! Then had a few beers..ha!





this was found after they took the tires off, i never noticed it till now!


rear diff mod



my father in law had a rock pile outside his building so i figured i would flex for the trucks first time! not much but..yah know!



and one current after all the mods so far..

 

The truck looks great, the emblem is different but you're right, it sets you apart from everyone else. Where did you get your tires put on?

 

Got them here in liberty at Kings Lube & Tire. Great guys to deal with an they match anyone's prices if someone is cheaper. They was the cheapest on these I bought.

 

Cool, I may check with them when I need a new set.

 

Bought a afe pro dry s drop in filter from a local guy. Will be getting it in tomorrow! Hopefully i have the same luck as most have had with them. I need a little throttle response haha

 

So let's bring this thread back! I've been debating to sell, but for now I'm keeping it. After yesterday it's gained more trust! With 1/4-1/2 inch of ice she kept it on the road and was able to help a few people out of the ditches. Started off I had to take my fiancé to work, usually a 30 minute commute. Well we didn't make it 3 miles down our road until the road was blocked. Long story short we saw 10+ wrecks, 1 salt truck flip over and a older man break his ancle. Needless to say I couldn't make it to her work. We did help a few people and got the guy with the broke ancle up the road to meet an ambulance. Here's a few pics

before we left


the hill that no one could climb, my truck is in the curve at the bottom of the hill, had to walk up and help get 4 vehicles out of the road so the salt trucks could come later.


this is where we was for a hour waiting on the tow truck to get out of the ditch.


then a county salt truck comes up the road thinking he can make it with NO chains, no 4wd. Needless to say he slid striaight off the road and ended up like this..


Next up is 5100s front an back, finish up light bar behind grille, and attemp to do led in cluster, ac controls and shifter.

 

just got in my recovery hitch today. trying to buy small stuff untill i pull the trigger on the billies, ome 885s and aal!

 

Haven't updated in a while, ordered an put on a TW sticker! Bought ome884s and billies off a local member. Their sitting in the garage an I'm waiting on a warm day to put them on. Updated pics to come

 

Got time today to install the front ome884's and the billies. They are set to 0, and ready to rock. here are the before and after, sits level to me!

 

Well i got bored and always wanted to change fabric on my doors, so i looked it up and went to my local fabric store tonight. Went with camo. I forgot screw's and i had enough to to the 2 fronts. all 4 are done though.

Driver


Passenger


Both fronts

 

Had some free time and wanted to try the gauge led swap. Ordered blue/white lights. I had the cluster out in a few minutes, the light swap was easy. Took about 2 hours for everything. Im happy how it turned out! (i had to take it back out and adjust the fuel and temp needles one time..newbie!) sorry for the shitty pic, ill get a better night one..
