Taken by Tacocolin during our recent TW meet.






Freshly minted with a tint, Black emblems, New Trd Exhaust. About 1 week after i got her.


Baptized with the rugged fails still on. We got stuck in sand on the worst possible day. The wind was blowing 40 mph and we had to hike out 2 miles for a cell signal. The worst part is, i had all my equipment at home ready to install. We just wanted to test out the truck stock before modding.


Spied her at the alignment shop after installing OME kit, Fj trail teams wheels, and Firestone Destination M/T 285/75r16


Picked up from Micahs in corrales. He does great work and his attention to detail is impressive.




One Hour later, a trip to the spa for a mud bath.



Some light wheeling with my son.


Finished BHLM


Color matched the lower valance. Pic from TW meet @ coyote canyon


Source 10lbs CO2 tank with 200 psi adjustable regulator.





Rigid Duallys in fog holes. Rigid 20" SR on Bumper.



Mini H1 retro installed. Ill get some Daytime pics soon

I've done a few small mods, ill post it up in the near future.
CB next.

Thanks to TW for all the helpful people who are much smarter than i am. If you want more picks let me know.

 

the 2012's are really nice!

Keep it up and your money in your accounts will surely be gone!

 

Looks good.

 

i like

 

Nice!

 

Love the truck. What trimming you need to fit the firestones in?

 

love the truck. love it.

 

I'd like to know as well.

 

Very Nice! Are your leafs squeaking yet? lol

 

Good looking rig, glad you're putting it to good use

 

I gotta admit that the 2012 fronts are growing on me! I'm looking forward to seeing one in person

 

19 bucks to wash the mud off.



And i installed my Hi-jack in the bed of the truck

 

I removed the front mud guard and the little flap in the front. No other trimming yet. I'm going Wednesday for a little flexing, and see if any spots are catching. But so far i haven't felt any rubbing.

 

No squeaking yet. Are the new Dakar leafs prone to squeaking?

 

Those tires look sick!!
How do they handle in sand?

 

sick! im diggin the wheel/tire combo

 

Love the sand baptism! Nice truck...getting close to pulling the trigger on something similar.

 

I ran in the sand for a few hours today at 15 psi and they did awesome. I went back to the place we got stuck and basically did donuts. It's performing like a different animal now.

I'm going to do the ABS switch mod now. It seems that the abs system was doing more harm than good, especially in the sand.

 

Very nice. Congrats on the rig and happy modding.

 

Looks good! Color match the chrome!
