Andrew H - My Build

Looks sweet, reminds me of my Rugged trail (a little bit )

 

Man I really need to update this thing.

 

Yes!!

 

Alignment done 8/5/14



Oil changed 8/6/14



Plugs changed 8/12/14



Tires balanced/rotated 8/14

 

Went out to Rail-X on Friday to take my friend from California shooting and did a little exploring. Didn't really stop to take any pics.

 

Nice! I definitely wanna get back out there soon!

 

Isn't much wheeling out there but definitely nice to be out in the middle of nowhere. Especially since it's green as fuxk now.

 

I beg to differ found my way into the Tortolitas last time I was there and my shit got all jacked up

 

Andrew, nice truck.

Im new to tacoma's , I have a question. Did you do any upgrades to your rear suspension when you had 5100's set at 1.85? If so, what was done. Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

How's the truck these days?

 

I want to see new mods here!

 

Hey man, sorry I just saw this post. I put billy 5125s when I had a 2.5" AAL put on the back.

HEY!!! How you been?? Truck is fine, waiting for Patrick (nofords) to sell me his front all-pro bumper. I've always loved the looks of them and it'll handle what I need it for. Mainly looks and better approach angles.

I do need to update this build page. I've been slowly becoming more active on this site again.

 

I guess I have not been very active on here either. Wisconsin is lame. I finally made it back to Arizona for a visit last month. Hoping to move back soon-ish.

Did you get the bumper?!

 

Changed oil, front diff fluid, transfer case fluid, and greased driveshaft. Only found three zerks though. Couldn't get the drain plug off the rear diff without stripping it so gonna hold off for now till I can order another plug.

EDIT - crawled under the truck in the daylight and found the other two.

 

Changed rear diff oil.

 

It seems as though you had your 5100s set at 1.75 but then later moved to 0.85? Can you elaborate why? Thanks

 

When I still had the stock coils I bumped them up to 1.75". Then I had the OME 885x's with the 5100s set to 0.0", then up to .85", and then as of today back down to 0.0" with the same 885x's.

The ride is much better this way and you can hardly tell the difference in looks.

 

Probably going to be buying a flat top demello front bumper...

 

Scratch that - ended up ordering an All-Pro standard plate bumper. I know the Demello is beefier but I've always loved the look of the redesigned all-pro bumpers and for $200 cheaper, it was easy on the wallet. Hopefully I find another TW Tucson member who has installed one before to hang out while I do mine in case I need a helping hand. Food and beer???

 

Got my All-Pro bumper yesterday. Cleaned it up, primed, and have the front side painted. I'll finish painting and assembling it tomorrow.



Stoked with how it's coming out.
