2014 Regular Cab 4x4 Build!

50? not bad

the stt's are going on 3 years in november. still a lot of life left in them...i wanna say 90-95%ish. one reason is that its a E range tire. meant for full size trucks.
so the carcass is tough and has lots of plys. plus our trucks are super light. the ride is a little rough with it being an E range, but nothing too bad..maybe i just got used to it. besides that these tires are awesome. i took my truck (2wd prerunner) through the mud pit multiple times at the race track and they hooked well. handles well in the rain too.
got them at commercial tire..i think racersedge carries them too.

 

Yup $56 shipped to be exact lol. Damn ive been getting so many mixed reviews on many different tires. Went to racers edge talked to mike he said go with the coopers if its mainly road use because they last and are good for occasional offroading but, get the kevlars if you can get them on base lol. Then went to 671 and talked to brian he said the same but sided with the coopers because they do the job and are on the cheaper side but, just a little noisey. Then I did my own research and tires are the same weight, kevlars ride smoother to me from my experience but, I just don't know how long they last... Then you have everyone else saying get these and not those so it makes the decision harder!

 

never had kevlars but i've heard that they are awesome in the trails.

the coopers are a great tire. cheaper, yes. get the job done, most def. mine got a little noisier, but its kinda expected with age..plus i kinda don't mind it too. can't go wrong with either.
it would be nice if we had more selection too.

 

have you guys seen that dark gray lifted regular cab with the light bar mounted on top of the cab? i've been seeing it on the road a lot lately.

 

truck is looking good too, nick!

 

Is it the one with the hood scoop? Ive seen it at 671 motorsports a few times. I think the guys running those MKW rims I wanted to get lol

i didn't notice if he had a hood scoop. those are nice rims tho!

 

Yup, i've seen it a few times. Looks mean with the light bar up top.

 

Added some license plate covers and a TRD badge.lol I ditched the stainless screws and got some black ones. Getting impatient waiting for my things to arrive! I ended up not waiting for the fuel formula rims and went with the method nv's. I was originally looking at getting the 17" but after stumbling across @300AACTaco build the 16" rims looked perfect wrapped in the 285/75/R16's on his tacoma. Also considering my truck is a regular cab and stock rims are 16". With me doing that I was also able to order the bakflip g2 ive been wanting. So, now its just the waiting game!




Next in line will be:
Tires 285/75/R16 Goodyear MTR Kevlar's
Pop&Lock manual tailgate lock w/ codeable technology
Weathertech or OEM tacoma bed mat
BPF non stamped skid plate (Black)
Wheel spacers if the stance isn't wide enough for me.

 

Pop&Lock manual tailgate lock w/ codeable technology ordered!

 

Question: Idk if its me just being impatient but, does 4wheelparts usually take forever to ship out? or in this case provide a tracking number that actually shows tracking instead of "information not found" with the provided tracking number they have given. Its been about 2 weeks since i've finalized the order and about a week since I was provided a tracking number and still up till now nothing...

FYI: Its being delivered to my work so don't mind the "Hello GUAM AUTO SPOT" lol

 

hmmm, i've heard mixed reviews about those guys. have you tried contacting them?

what kinda lift you get?

 

I've never ordered from them so I'm not too sure.

 

I have been in contact with my salesperson and other employees there. Contacted them all through phone and all ive been getting is that they already have sent it to the shipping company and they will call to find out what is going on and asked to give them till wednesday there time... I just ordered the 3" pro comp nitro leveling kit. They also took a while to get it to the shipper because they couldnt find a box for the bakflip g2 to complete my order but, that was a week ago.

 

I just hate waiting brotha!

 

Hope you get everything sorted out.

 

Hope it all works out soon. i'm also expecting a package too..should be landing today or tomorrow. this place is a trap lol

 

Got a better look at a 2016 today. One my boys got his hands on one and I have to admit if this was an option I would get one. lol Overall a really nice truck, cant wait to see it lifted!

 

Didn't do any black friday shopping today but, this will do! Rims, lift, and bedcover finally came in.


Also the pop&lock codeable tailgate handle.


So I called navy today to see if they had the goodyear mtr kevlars in stock and sadly they said there shipment is backordered till end of January. That being said I might just pull the trigger on some bfg ko2s. Then it gets worse as i'm installing the bedcover today during lunch I came across this... FCK!


The boxes match up to the truck but not the hardware kit inside. But, I ended up being able to kind of see how it'll look once I receive the correct hardware. I emailed my 4wheelparts sales rep. right away so, lets see what he can do about this. I hate waiting!

 

It's coming along nicely
