Bayrak's Build & Travel Log

Ended Up Picking a new to me Deaver 10Pack - These were custom made for a taco with a FWC and should hold the additional weight I plan to add nicely. Now I just need U-Bolt Flip, some GM Bumpstops and rear shocks and my rear end should no longer bottom-out over every little bump.

​

 

Nice rig!

 

Thanks! I really like the idea of your tailgate BBQ!


Hit a milestone the other day...

​

 

Got some new shoes today - BFG KO2 285/70/17 10ply

​

Also finally had my coilovers show up - going to swap out the 13in 300lb springs for some 14 700lb's.

​

 

Had my buddy pick up some new king 700lb springs for the fox coilovers - should be here this weekend!! New coilovers, LCA, inner & outer Tierods, ECGS needle bearings and driver CV should be going on shortly

Also dropped the truck off with Brandon @ coastaloffroad.com yesterday to get booty implants

Can't wait to see what he comes up with! Any ideas on all the options in getting?

 

​

 

Sneak peek of the coastal offroad bumper!! Still got a few more goodies to add.

 

Got the taillight protection and 1st Swingout On!

​

 

So I left the truck with Brandon @ coastaloffroad.com to use as a template for his new front bumper! Excited to see what he comes up with!! Arb is now for sale

 

Sneek Peek of the new Coastal Offroad Front Bumper!!

 

I might have to head down to Vic to pick one of those up. I like it

 

Thanks! Mention you saw it on here and he may be able to hook you up as he hasn't officially released them on his website yet (sent me these pics today) just say your a buddy of mine! Also he usually only offers weld-it-yourself kits but if you cant weld im sure he would be willing to weld it up for a bit more. He also can make various custom changes like different light cutouts, single or no hoops, etc.

 

I can weld somewhat but I'd prefer to have someone else do it.. I will have to hit him up here in the new year. Been trying to figure out what I wanna do for bumpers for a while now and I think this is my plan

 

Deffs a good choice! And if needed he can do the welding. Heres a few more pictures (more on his website) to help convince you

​

 

Saw those today on the bctoyoda4wd facebook page! Looks really good!

 

Installed my OEM smoked headlights today. The turn signal lenses have a small crack but it's not as bad as the bubbled burnt ones on my old ones. Still need to paint my bumper, and paint / install my honeycomb grill

 

Went down to montana for a bit and played around down there

Looking North Over Lake Koocanusa on Canada Day





My trip to polebridge and upper whitefish lake from eureka was pretty amazing!








Upper Whitefish Lake






Just got back to calgary and I changed my front pads again and finally painted my front bumper!

 

After I painted my front bumper I decided to take a few more days delaying my trip south to paint my sliders and rear bumper and swingout. Overall the process was pretty easy as I was able to find a DIY sand blasting place with Large Blasting Nozzels. I used VHT rollbar and chassis Paint

I then headed back down to montana near Lake Koocanusa to vacation with my dad









I also took him on the trip to Polebridge & Whitefish Lake






I Then Installed my bilstein 5125 Rear Shocks, Deaver 10 Pack. Wheelers Superbumps and Ubolt flip Kit. During this install I found a snapped leaf in both my packs

It was pretty smoky by now (mid August). I then started to head back west. Stayed in Oroville, WA for about a week on the way back and it was super smoky. Camped on their lawn Lakeside



Then hopped on the ferry back to Vancouver island. With the flippac and rear lift im over 7ft tall so I rode with the big rigs

Once back me and a few buddies went on a trip exploring the Northern Island. took about 8hours form victoria. When we arrived the first night is was pitch black. Woke up to an amazing view






Went exploring around the area the next day before moving further down the beach for another night








Then Headed home




Now Im in the process of moxing to Comox so This area will be about 4 hours away form me. Pretty Stoked
