2012 Taco Build

Does the T-Rex grill replace the inner grill, or does the inner grill have to be cut out and modded similar to making a Satoshi?

Thanks

 

The inner is cut out. Not sure as to how much mod work is involved in the Satoshi, but the T-Rex seems to be a pretty easy install. The lower grill insert is just that though, it's an insert with no mod involved at all.

 

Update on my build, Injen CAI installed. 7HP gain on dyno. Sounds mean when you mash the gas. Already noticed a MPG savings as well. Will have to report on the actual figures sometime next week though. Waiting on Injen for my Cat Back System to go with the intake though. Got to breath out as well as it breaths in. I'll post a pic in a while as well.

 

very nice neighbor!

 

LOL.....Hey TeamBosing..Good to see a neighbor on here.

 

Nice! did they end up using your truck for development?

 

Here is my truck right now.
Forgive the blur photo. Not the greatest cam


And here is the CAI

 

Sure did. Many thanks for the hook up on that one Brother. I definitely owe you.

 

No prob! Hope you like it. Btw, we are having a pretty big offroad tip this march from barstow to my cabin without touching pavement. You are more than welcome to roll!

 

Guess I should have cleaned the engine bay before the pic. Still dirty from the last rain we had here. Some messed up roads I have to travel here & there to get home. Puddles are almost like rivers & lakes.

Right on. Sounds like a lot of fun. What type of terrain? I am hoping to have a lift by then but just in case. I ran in to a financial SNAFU yesterday.

 

Mostly desert terrain, hard dusty trails. maybe a few sections with sand and whoops but nothing a stock truck cant handle. Aaron is gunna pre-run the course this weekend so once he gets back, ill be able to give a better more accurate description.

 

Well Hell Yeah, definitely keep me posted. What time is the run supposed to start & where abouts does it end.

 

starts at 9 and ends at my cabin in green valley lake. all the info is in the link.

 

still an ugly 2012 front but the grill looks better than stock.

 

Got the new seat covers & dash cover from Coverking. Those guys are great. They hooked me up good on all of it.


The covers are comfortable. Added padding. Think in the summer they might be a bit warm though. Neoprene Covers. Looks good though.

 

New front bumper. Relentless Fabrication.


Now what I need to work at getting will be the lift, tires & wheels & lights for the new bumper.

 

That truck looks kinda funny with a big bumper like that

 

No way! Damn that think is gunna looks amazing with a lift and tires. I did mine the same way. I got my front and rear bumpers on along with everything else so by the time I lifted it, it was basically done. Lol.
