2014 Regular Cab 4x4 Build!

I went with the Icon shocks/CO's and a blend of parts gathered from hither and yon to suit my needs. I bought new/unused from here and deals on the internet. It took me about 6 to 8 mos to get everything together, then BOOM!... my buddy and I did the swap in an afternoon or two, front, then rear. What I'm saying is, I went with what works for me, bought new/unused/good price/took my time/saved money on parts/did the work myself. I have a problem with spending $800 - $1200 on UCA's. I just can't do it. I learned a lot.

Literature says that Fox are progressive and Icon is digressive, but WTF do I know? My Icon equipped truck runs like a truck, and my buddy's 6" lifted Tundra with Foxes on 37's runs like a truck. Depending on what your ultimate goal is, it should always drive like a truck.

Hey, man, what I'm saying is take your time and enjoy your build.

 

Truck is looking nice man!!!
Where did you get your alignment done at?

 

Thanks man! I got it done at Autospot when they installed the lift.

 

Im just gonna leave this here...

 

Haven't been on in a while but, here are a few pics. of how she sits today. I wanted to take some pictures of the truck before mother nature beats her up.lol There are still a lot of minor things I want to add like a skid plate, tow hitch, bed mat, door sill protectors, rock sliders, 6.5 infinity component speakers and maybe .75 bora wheel spacers to get just a little more width. Overall all the major things are done but, slowly I will eventually complete my list!

Also I need help deciding if I should change my 1" block in the rear to a 1.5" or 2" to get rid of that ugly sag? Let me know thanks!

 

i had a 1" block in the rear and had some sag too. i swapped it out with a 2" AAL from toytec. the back sits higher, but i like it better that way.

 

WHERE YOU FROM.

 

It all starts with a vision! I think it came pretty close to the photoshop image I did...

 

Thinking about running .75 " or 1" wheel spacers?!

 

Got bored and had a can of plastidip laying around...Just waiting for it to dry so I can peel the excess away.

 

Nice build bro!, where you get the ss bolts for the wheels? I was thinking of swapping the bolts too on my 17" double standards....I drive a mag grey RC, auto, with stt pro's white letters out, decided to do a throw back..he,he,he..

 

Thank you! I bought them through method race wheels. Ill post a pic. of the sales reps info that helped me. Let me see your truck post some pics.!

Another thing to mention before ordering. I ordered 96 bolts total at $1 each. When I was given the quote to ship to Guam it was $192 so, double the price. Luckily my girlfriend is going to school in the states and I was able to send it to her address for only $14 for shipping then she sent it to me. So if you have any family or friends ship it to them and make them ship it to you it beats paying the crazy shipping fee to Guam!

 

Plasti dipped my emblems a few days ago didn't like the flat black look so, I ended up getting them painted to color match the truck. Now i'm considering the BHLM and changing the rear tailights to the black depo ones but, would anyone know if the depo tailights are "gloss black" or "flat black" on the inside? I want the headlights to match the color of the tailights when I do the BHLM.

How did you remove the tail gate emblem? I tried dental floss and fishing line but it kept snapping.

 

Use heavier test line. Worked for me.

 

I used fishing line brotha.

 

@vrod671 these are the tail lights brotha

 

Cherry! I might know someone looking for a pair. I'll get back to you.

 

Thanks just let me know through a message.
