AriZonaD54's SPBlack Build...

Looks good.

 

Thanks fellas. Its coming along!

 

Son of a B. So my girlfriend says today "you can have one toy (i guess major purchase) this holiday season for either the M3 or Taco". Again, son of a B.

The M is basically done and done. No more upgrades necessary (in my mind). Here's a photo of it... it's the silver one.


But there's plenty I want to do to the Taco;
1. Bed Bar w/ Hi-Lift
2. KM2s
3. Hunseekers (spelling?) seats
4. Change out my Camburg UCAs to LR or TC
5. Tire holder in bed or custom tire gate
6. bud light foozie

BUUUUUUT.... a 6" Fabtech Performance Kit sound sooooo badass! But the damn thing is like $3k. And I can already hear all the Long Travel police on their high-ponies getting' ready to post "With that kind of cash-money, I'd purchase an LT, duh stupid-head". But, I'm just not into hauling ass off-pavement or into serious rock-crawling.

So I'd like to solicit serious opinions... is it a "waste" lalala? Right now, Im leaning towards just keeping it in the bank and saving up for some other life adventure or new house. Decisions...

 

I dunno if you are willing to tell but how much, may i ask, did the sliders run you?

I like them a lot but i really dont want to spend $500 on the SH or Demello.

 

Brandon in Queen Creek makes them. He's the Avid Off-Road guy. I got them for $270 irc. And then powdercoated them for $100. Brandon can make them as weld-ons or bolt-ons. Same price I believe.

Email Brandon and tell him Andrew sent ya. Brandon@avidoffroad.com

 

sweet, thanks a lot. Its much appreciated.

 

was your bmw in desert motor magazine a few months back?

 

Yep. Otis did the shoot. We shot in back in June iirc. And the magazine came out in July/ August!

 

Yes e-mail brandon, I got a set of the weld on and they were $275 for fully assembled $300 for assembled and welded on. I will be at the meet today if someone want to look at them.

Andrew if you swap out your UCA's Ill buy them from you. I want the Cambrug so let me know.

 

yep, otis sits next to me in my government class

we might actually go around taking pictures today, he's got some talent

 

I may be getting rid of the Camburg 2.5 series coilovers too being that I might move toa 6"

 

Lol nice man

I'm going to go with the EMU 885 when I have the money for the UCA's...which might be soon if you sell me yours

 

man this is like the model that i look to when planning mods on my truck. for some reason i love your bike rack and avid light bar, balances out nicely and very functional, gotta love it

ps: if you ever wanna give away any of your stuff for free, just lemme know lol

 

speechless... it looks so good

 

Nice truck man!
What is that you put on the bumper? and where did you put those lights?

 

The Hella 500's are mounted on the grill/ hood support. They hang upside down.
