772Taco's Build and Adventure Thread

Poor pup, people suck!
Getter better soon lil fella

 

We kept it clean and wrapped up the whole trip. Vet said yesterday it’s looking good. The cut finally healed up to the surface. Just have to keep it wrapped and wait for it to scar over now.

 

Well I sold the bed rack to fund future truck upgrades.

I loved having the rack on the truck but I wanted to cut down on some weight and switch things up.

Put a downpayment on a set of sliders with AllenFab and I am going to have him do a CMC so I can make an easy jump to 285’s

A softopper with more than likely be added at the beginning of next year.



The bed rack is off with its new owner in Zephyrhills

 

Rig looks good man, you're gonna like the soft topper. Kind of questioning why I sold mine....

 

@772Taco do you know how much height you gained in the rear with your aal?

 

2”

 

Thanks. I got 1.5" from my deaver single aal and I'm considering options to get a little rake back. Nice truck btw.

 

Thanks, I got the Icon AAL and left the overload in to give it 2”

 

I hope I’ll like it lol, I just need something that will keep the stuff in my bed relatively dry and a place I can sleep on camping trips.

 

Surprisingly they're super quiet, even on the interstate. I bought a mosquito net so I could put the tailgate down for a little extra room, us short bed guys lol

 

Being 6’4” I need all the room I can get. I dont want to spend the money on their tent attachment. But I have a few old tents and can probably make something that will work

 

Sliders are getting welded on tomorrow! Will post pics after they’re installed.

 

Sliders got welded onto the truck today along with a CMC. @allenfab knocked it out of the park on em.

 

Took a trip up to Citrus WMA and Hardrock Off Road Park this weekend.

The truck did good other than when it popped out of gear and backed my bed into the wall. Luckily we got it pulled out without any damage to the bedside.

 

Did some ordering around Christmas for the truck and everything finally came in.



Bought a set of Icon Delta Joint UCA’s off a buddy for a good deal, just gotta put new bushings in them.



Decided to swap the OME 887’s out for 888 coils so I should be at a true 3” lift in the front. I’m going to be adding a 1/4” spacer to account for the Taco lean this time around though.

And last but not least the Softopper finally came in. Pretty stoked to get this on the truck. Been wanting one for a while now.

 

Well it was a busy year and the truck was put on the back burner. Slapped on a set of 285/75/16 Nitto Ridge Grapplers this week. Need to find the time to install the 888’ coils and Icon UCA’s to fix the rubbing. Will report back, maybe in Jan 2023 at the rate I’ve been working on the truck
