mcharfauros: Mike’s Truck and Wife’s 4Runner stuff

Slow weekend, but warmed up enough here in the Midwest to wash my wife's truck, and tackle a few things on the Taco.

First up was quick interior lighting upgrade. Some "Meso Custom" @mesojdm off brand stuff, you probably never heard of.



Last thing before the sun went down was the bed rack. I got rid of the KB Voodoo modular rack because I like this one better. I dig the way this one mounts via the bed bolts. It was a custom job, welds are so-so, but fully powder coated.

 

I vote yay

Took a drive to the freight facility to pick up my @Mobtown Offroad Front Plate Bumper. Took it straight to the powder coating guy.

Picked up the bumper from powder coating, went with a wrinkled matte black finish and brought it home to just look at it until I was ready to work on it.

 

Damn Discount Tires ran a promo, That said I went ahead and got some new tires.
I went with The Falken Wildpeak MT01’s in a slightly larger size. 315/75/16



Just Because



It was a challenge getting out of the parking lot from the installer’s lot, could definitely feel the weight of them. Rubbing like crazy, finally got home. More trimming to do, but pretty stoked with how she sits.

Obviously some trimming needed to be done, so I started on the cab mounts.




Then moved to the fenders.



Next was the flares.



A few hours later.

 

Y’all too much

With the front bumper and winch weight on my mind, I turned the attention to swapping out the springs. Got a set of 650lb. springs and headed over to @G.T. ‘s shop. His wall mounted spring compressor made quick work.

Started trimming some of the OEM plastic to fit the @Mobtown Offroad plate bumper.



Notched out the center brace to clear the Warn Zeon Integrated control pack.



Trimmed and looking stupid, had to drive to a buddy’s house to get some help getting the bumper mounted.



After final fitting I took it out on some tank trails to see where it would flex. Ended up trimming a little bit here and there to account for movement. All in all pretty stoked to have it finished.

With all those crazy Black Friday deals going on, I picked up a front locker for later.




Just Because
