Nice truck!

 

I like where this is going

 

why delete oem rack? Load capacity?

 

It’s Fugly

 

I'm going to be too tall, and I personally hate the look of them for how little I'll ever use it. If I did need a rack I'd use a prinsu...but those are pricey.

Update....ordered 37x13.5xR18s off Amazon......29x8.5sxr17 came in sooooo that's not happening....should've know $204 a pop for 37s were way too good to be true

So I went ahead and returned them and ordered 35x12.5xR18 Federal Couriga....my personal favorite tire, and what I ran on my last taco....still committing to the 1" body lift, as that combined with a body chop kit that I was given will eliminate rub and allow for wrenching room. I also ordered All Pro extended brake lines because of that as the RC kit only comes with relocation brackets. Last time I installed the kit, it was a bit too tight.

 

This ⬆️. Trying to decide on a Tire gate. My vision is to have a camper shell.....then ideally the old prerunner tiregate by tiregate (Wilco bought tiregate and now charges double).......and to make a kydex adapter that seals up the camper shell.

There's also the flat vertical version that I'm debating.

 

haha..I'm sure the prinsu would not make the top of this list of expenses on your list:

6" RC lift with extended Vertex Coil overs with resies (Yes, again for those familiar with Brutus the 4th)
1" Toytec Body lift
35x12.5xR18 MTs X5
18x10 -25 Wheels X5
Flowmaster Cat Back Exhaust
Boba Fett Steering Wheel Cover
4xInnovations LCA Skids

 

because it's garbage
flimsy plastic
can't carry heavy stuff, can't stand on it, nothing
belongs on a shitbox (Subaru)

Besides Prinsu there is Hooke Road or using a template to cut and make your own

 

Agreed! I'll take a look at hooke!

 

Rims just arrived!
Brute Force Fab is damn near impossible to get ahold of, been reaching out for two weeks now. Nothing.

This has me thinking about a different route. I'm debating going with the CBI Dakar racing bumper. Or Relentless Hybrid. Thoughts?

 

what a score!

 

Speak of the devil Brute Force just reached out!

35s also arrived in the mail!

Then found a Camper shell and scooped hood locally, they aren't Impulse Red but I've got a good friend who's an auto-painter

 

Ordered my Brute Force Hybrid,, removed the tonneau cover then picked up this leer topper....very happy with it. $950, I'll be sleeping in it tomorrow with my inflatable bed mattress!
Rims and LCA Skids all arrived! Everything is going on come Wed/Thurs

On the hunt for a Tire Gate, and a CB Radio

 

Scored a scooped hood for $80! Sex change to 7" and 35s goes down not tomorrow but the next day, then this weekend I'll drop off the camper and hood for a paint match!

 

Sex change!

 

Still have some work

 

Dropped off the shell and scooped hood at my buddies to be paint matched

 

Added RC Molle panels to the bed and my lucky Marlin Crawler shift knob that I've owned for 10 years and has been through every single toyota since. Obtained an 1/2" drive kobalt impact wrench, X-Bull traction boards.

On the way are the Vertext 6" Resivior rear shocks, Flow Master Cat Back Exhaust, Brute Force Hybrid bumper, RC front-of-bed molle panel, RC spanner wrench, sway bar, and a driver side LCA.

I was planning on doing the snorkel yesterday but life got in the way. Still yet to add the 1" body lift, but that's alright for now, I'm sitting at 6" in the front, and because I had 3rd gen springs in the back with an Icon Dynamics AAL my rear set up is at 7.5"....I'm going to keep it this way as I'll eventually add a swing gate, spare, some roto pax and that camper shell when it returns to me.....on top of that I like the idea of an anti-carolina squat stance....hate those idiots


Then lined up a trip with CAM Mobility out in Moab UT for the spring with some of my co-workers.....I've been trying to go for years and it's looking pretty good!


Currently debating on the All-Pro Sway Bar links vs standard, then I need to find some roof drip molding for when I delete the OEM Roof Rack.....speaking of which....I've come up with the wazoo idea of putting roof and camper shell prinsu racks up top to then cut a hole in the center of my campershell and shell roof rack, getting an RV Air Conditioning set up and a control panel for the inside if I could find the AC for the right price........no more drive thru lanes or parking garages....but a camper shell with A/C and heat.....I'd never need a hotel room ever again.

Also looking at CB set ups as well. After that it's all just a matter of install. I'm going to have to park the truck for the next three weeks after tomorrow for another trip but I'll get paid extra money and that's what is sourcing all of these devious plans
