BIG ISLAND HI Thread

Elsen could be my fabulous alter ego...

 

Cody, hows the meet looking?

Lift is finally in! Install on monday, can't wait!

 

Elsen it is then! LOL we going all call you Elsen and everybody's going be like huh?

 

ftroop: what lift did you end up going with?

 

guarantee!

 

I went with the 3" Toytec with Radflo coilovers... hindsight I would've liked to get a 6" but I figure when it comes time to change I can always go bigger if I like

 

yeah. i thought that exact same thing. from december to now i been through four lifts. makes me weak thinking about it lol.

 

1) billies 5100 w/toytec eibach coilovers and 2" toytec aal

2) icon 3.5 extended travel coilovers, icon ucas, 2.5 smooth body, dakar leafs

3) procomp drop bracket

4) icon 6-7" coilovers w/reservoir and 700# springs, billet ucas, 2.5 reservoir rear shocks, and performance 3" body lift

in hind sight i wish i went with 4 right from the get go. i did a lot of backtracking with this build. especially since this is my first lifted taco. i drove all low vehicles before this (tl-s, gt mustang, xrunner, wrx, sti).

 

HO BRAH! thats some scripts... even if I don't like it right now, I'm stuck with it for lack of funds But I will be saving all my TDY moneys (if they still get!) until I can change it

I don't think I will be too disappointed though.

 

The lift I have now was actually slated to go on your SWB but I ended up selling it to you instead and got by 13 NBM and lifted that instead...the Tysin tie is that its his leafs on my new 13...BTW the SWB has the brand new TSB leafs on it...I put on the week I sold it to you...

3 degrees of separation

 

lol. i think youll be pleased. as long as you happy. i admit. i like my truck at 3" looked good. might have to cut a bit to fit 285s. are you active duty?

 

That's why I went 255/75/17 I can't stand seeing dope rigs all chopped up...I see bad lifts and mods at work

 

dave: i had to cut a little bit to get my 285s to clear. you wouldnt be able to tell if i showed you though. i was grateful for that. i woulda been sick if it was noticeable. trust me, its a weak feeling when you taking that dremel to brand new plastic . im pleased at how it turned out though.

 

I seen sick trucks all dremeled out...I'm function over form...I think I achieved that with my rig...except for the supercharger...I just wanted that...

 

Nice! Thank you for that! I'm glad I was able to choose my own lift, cause if I don't like it only can blame myself

Yeah active. I wish I went with 285s I went with 265s just to make sure it would fit. But I am seriously thinking about just selling those and getting 285's a little later. Gotta see how I like it first

 

I am jealous of your supercharger

 

where you stationed? i did eight years; got out in 2010.

with 285s the truck is gonna look aggressive. you gonna run the stock rims or you have a set in mind?

 

me too!
