EXTREMACHN1's TRD SPORT DCSB 4x4 6spd build

Really nice set up.....I like all the toys as well.

 

OK guys, well I finally got a bunch of my parts put on so here you go.
BEFORE LIFT FRONT = 35"


BEFORE LIFT REAR (with TSB)=37.5"


BEFORE LIFT or TSB = 37"


FRONT AFTER 5100's + Eibach SPRINGS= 37.5"



REAR + TSB AAL & 5100= 39"




AVID LIGHT BAR with VIPER LINING (line-x type lining)


AVID STEP BARS with VIPER LINING


BESTOP SOFT TOP


BLACK WET OKOLE SEAT COVERS




ENTIRE TRUCK


Then I jsut traded my stock TRD sport rims & tires + my 265/70/16 Cooper STT's in at a used tired shop for $700. Then I called a friend at a tire shop and picked up a set of 285/75/15 Dunlop Fierce Attitude M/T.

Yea, I know the sidewall is a little corny and the name is kinda gay, but I got the whole set for $850 installed so I literally only came out of pocket $150 for the tires and you cant beat that. My truck isnt a mall crawler but its not a full time offroad beast so I figure these will do jsut fine from what i have read. They will be in at 9 in the morning so I will put more pictures and measurments up once they are on.

I also have a scan gauge II and URD short throw shifter going on next week. More updates to follow.

 

Oh, and BTW my alignment was easy and almost spot on without UCA's and I dont feel an ounce of shudder anywhere in the rev band. I feel a little more of the road through the steering wheel I think but that could just be me being hyper sensative considering the issues others have had.

 

Ok, got the tires on but its to dark for measurments and pictures tonight. I ended up having to do some inner fender trimming because it was rubbing at full lock and really bad in reverse. I am sure if I stuff them in the wheel well it will still rub but all in all I am happy.
The tires are quieter than the Cooper STT's and dont seem to weave or track at all so thats nice. I do notice now that I am when my truck says 70mph my GPS says 75 so I need to watch that.

Pictures and measurments to follow and hopefully some mud pictures tomorrow.

 

Ok, no measurments yet but I did do a little offroading (and shooting) on my friends property. Some nice thick sloppy mud, deep water/mud holes and a nice big hill. All in all I am happy with the tires, they bite well and clean nicely in mud. Plus they are quiter than the cooper STT's. Here are some nice pictures for everyone:

 

That's a cool truck!

 

Thanks, its everything I have wanted. I love it and the supercharger & lift just make it that much better.

 

Here are some recent pictures of my truck down in California at the Redwood National Parks by Crescent City, Ca.

 

Lets bump this and get everyones opinion on mods I should do next. I am open to almost any mods except LT suspension. What do you guys think?

 

Well everyone, its time for an update.

I took my truck on a roadtrip from Vancouver, Wa to Tucson, Az for some work down there and have been having a blast playing down in AZ. Here are some pictures from a road I found on FR 143. I also did the first offroad damage to my truck, nothing major but enjoy the pics.

Its been a while since I updated so I would thought I would put up my current plans.

Recently I have sold my Avid offroad Steps and light bar as well as removed my Bestop soft top. I found out my Bestop was causing a loss of about 7mpg due to the drag it was creating. I will keep it, just not keep it on unless it is needed.

So here is my current plans:
AllPro full underbody skids (IFS, Tranny, Transfercase)... INSTALLED
Avid full weld on sliders... VERY SOON
CAB MOUNT chop... VERY SOON
TRD S/C under drive pulley... Purchased, just need installed
TRD short throw shifter... Purchased, just need installed
Armored rear bumper with rear tire carrier... By the end of the year
Armorer front bumper... By the end of the year
Doug Thorley headers... By the end of the year
Y-pipe (either Doug Thorley or URD)... By the end of the year

NEW SUSPENSION:
REAR
Allpro Expedition rear leaf springs, spring bushings, and U-bolt flip kit.
Fox 2.5" adjustable shocks with remote reservoir
Extended rear brake line
Timbren bumpstops

FRONT
Total Chaos UCA's
Timbren bumpstops
Extended front brake line
Fox 2.5" adjustable shocks with remote reservoir

New front and rear fender flares... Mine have been tore up from offroading and not enough clearance so they have rubbed and begun tearing off.

 

never knew you had a build!

is your new suspension already installed??

 

Yep, got a build page and no unfortunatly its not. I am in the process of picking up the pieces for it and plan on doing it during a "mod day" type thing. Hopefully also by the end of the year for that as well.

 

I installed my URD 2.8" S/C pulley today. It was to easy, its a shame I waiting this long. I love how the truck runs now. Plenty of power all over the power band.

I also just debadged my truck. I love how it looks now.

 

Allright, time for the most recent update and plans.

I finally got my Fox Racing shocks and coil overs, Allpro expidition leafs, TC UCA's, and Timbren bump stops on. I also re-installed my Dunlop Fierce Attitude 285/75-R16. I still need to crank up my coils and plan on doing that next weekend once they settle a little. The back is crazy high and I love how it rides, I just need to crank up the front and then get an alingment. I also got all of my skid plates installed and my Avid weld on sliders with kick outs. Here are the most recent pics. I havent really taken any recently so some of them are hard to tell.
Here you can see my sliders a little bit:


Here was my install of my latest suspension goodies:







Here are my skid plates installed:



Here are my plans for the very near future:
Extended brake lines (Just need installed)
ARB Rear Locker + Onboard Air (by end of November)
Leer or A.R.E. canopy (by end of December)
Armored front winch bumper and armored rear swing away (by end of February)

Sometime next year:
Spidertrax wheel spacers
Allpro fiberglass pre-runner fenders
35" tires
Regear
FJ 6spd transfer case.

 

where did you purchased those 265/70R16 cooper sst? I would have bought them from you.

 

you should gusset your spindles just incase that supercharger takes advantage of you in the desert

 

Love it all but the Bug shield

 

Extreme, this is very close to what I want to do. Still debating the big three King, Icon or Fox, but the rear setup with the flip kit, bumpstops and expos are dead on. Looking forward to pics with the front cranked up a little, also want to hear from you on the ride quality, ie any issues?

 

Supercharged! yeheee
