Dstin's Badass 4x4 Supercharged Pyrite Mica Access Cab Build (previously Ostrichsak's truck)

Figured I'd start a build thread to track the progress of the truck now that I've made my first modifications. I purchased this truck on 8/30/19 from @Ostrichsak.
Check out his build thread

I'm planning on building out this rig for sleeping/camping. I wanted a 2nd gen TRD off road w/ a 6ft bed and an access cab. I searched for weeks with only two results under 100k miles all across the state. Eventually I came across Ostrichsak's truck, which matched everything I was looking for, plus a supercharger, and a million other mods I would've wanted to do myself. It was definitely overkill for what I needed, but after test driving it, I didn't want anything else.

Dstin's mod history:

9/10/19 - removed 3/4" spacers, set bilstein 5100's from .85" to 0". Replaced cv axles on both sides with cvj

 

First real mod: removed the 3/4" spacers and set the 5100's to 0" to lower the front end by 2". Ride was insanely stiff and had vibrations from 55-65mph. After removing spacers and adjusting the 5100s, the ride is smooth and the vibration is gone. The front end still sits up 2" higher than stock from center wheel hub to fender

I only did the front end. I knew the rake would look ridiculous, and as you can see in the above picture, it does. Next up on the mod list is an aluminum topper. Planning on having about 300lbs in the bed at all times, which will lower the back end about 2". If that doesn't level the rear, I'll adjust the rear suspension too.

Have slight rubbing up front now. Only when wheel is fully turned going over large bumps. May go with smaller tires instead of trimming

 

Pretty slick ride. I can only imagine how much of a blast it is to drive.
