Kidd's 2012 SW build

Holy smokes dude! Your build is going to be done in less than a year, at this pace....lol

 

Thanks 12Tac & Rome!

babyblockTACO - Taking our time, the job was done in about 4 hours I guess. I painted the brakes too while we were down there and cleaned up some of the components. Not too bad a job. Had it's challenges.

focotacoma - LOL thanks bro. That's the lowest setting though. I'm sure it'll settle a bit.

Pringles - Yeah bro....back is all buss from wrenchin on this stuff! LOL

Tor - Naw I gotta pump the brakes a little bit. My other half is giving me the hints....."Wow another part? Looks good honey!". I know what that means....

 

Feel you on that. Been there as well...."My hobby. Respect it, as I do yours".....

 

Lookin hella nice... Love this truck

 

Tor - LOL hell yeah we got parameters to stay within right?

Memario - Yeah.....as of yesterday. The parts have been sitting in my store room for about a month. We've all just been too busy to get it installed.

Shaggs - Mahalo mang!

 

hey dave! where'd you get your susp parts from? ordered online or got em local (if that's possible)?

 

Shocks from Down South MS. Marco is the man!
Springs/AAL/Top Plate Spacers (Which I didn't use) - Toytec

Shipping was kind of a biatch, but at least I got exactly what I wanted.

 

Nice! Yea that's where I was looking. Ah, and I figured that shipping was gonna kill

 

oh yea for sure! my plan is to buy the parts while I'm here in Utah (super cheap shipping compared to HI), drive out to L.A., ship matson home, and install lift there

 

Your other half is gonna tear you a new one when she finds out what you ordered the other night LOL!!!!

 

Hahahaha she asked me what I was doing.....I think I might be screwed if she saw my FB, since I posted that pic. LOL

 

FREEEEEEE??? DSM, yea. I don't think Toytec.

 

ran spacers with stock wheels? No lift? Do you have pics of it then?

 

I ever get back out to Hawaii I'm totally swingin by to check your truck out. Saw hella 80s and 90s toyotas there. Kinda perfect rigs because they go anywhere, and parts are available. But your truck has to break necks on the island

 

maine - I pulled the spacers when I got the BFD's. They fit so perfect, there is no need for spacers. I even ran that set-up with no lift for 2 weeks with just a 1.5" trim on the back of the front fender flare.

Shaggs - Funny you should mention. I'm used to people gawking at the Vette and Viper, but I actually get stopped frequently at gas stations, the market stops, etc....Been asked about my set-up maybe 5x in the last week. I was surprised people notice my Taco. LOL

 

i love that carbon fiber wrap, how did you get the cuts so clean? you should do a write up...

 

Thanks bro.....very few cuts made. I heated and stretched all the edges. I did trim out the chrome surround near the s7ick. Just took my time and tried not to ruin the whole endeavor. LOL

 

How did you do you a/c pannel? Did you trim it up, or somehow take the knobs out?

 

The AC panel pops off. If you pry gently from the top of the panel it will come loose. From there, I wrapped a solid piece over it, cut crosses into all the holes and wrapped it over. Wrap over whenever possible. Then trimmed off the excess.
