Mike V.'s MGM Build

Ok, So after much deliberation and research, I have decided the route I want to go in this build. It is going to be a somewhat slow process, so bare with me.


How She SIts Today ...........




What I gave up!


The Day I bought her! I immediately snatched out the stereo and installed a Pioneer 8400BT DVD Unit and replace all factory speakers with Infinity Kappas. 01/01/13


Bought some rims from my brother in law just because they were available. $75 with free mount and balance at a friend's shop. Ripped off the factory side steps and mud flaps. 02/01/13


Just ordered my Toytec Ultimate Lift last night w/ LR UCA's. Also ordered N-Fab steps, GrillCraft Grill, and Weathertech Floor Mats this morning. Hopefully it will all ship soon. (pics soon) 03/23/13
Update.....Ordered my wheels and tires today. 17 x 9 XD Hoss Black (4.5 bs, -12 offset) and 285/70/17 Duratracs 03/25/13 (RECEIVED 03/28/13)
Update.....Ordered BAMF light bar. 03/26/13


UPCOMING MODS
-Wet Okole Seat Covers
-Depending on how I like Grillcraft grill, maybe a satoshi.
-Color match Grill and Rear Bumper
-BHLM (if I am brave enough)
-LED's throughout Cab

**********ALSO RESERVED***********

 

Can't wait to see pics of the lift. Looks like you know what you want to do. It sounds good.

 

Thanks, I have been researching for a while now....there is so much out there it made the decisions hard.

 

Come on guys I know it is not much yet but I was expecting a little more feedback than this.

 

You def went with a solid set up. Can't wait it see this all installed hurry up!

 

Lookin' good brother!

I'll be watching. ....

 

And it begins.......











Heading to the alignment shop tomorrow, then I will clean her up a little, install my grill (if it comes in again) and post some more pics......She is moving along quite nicely!

 

Lookin good man! How does the ride feel with the lift?

 

how do you like it comin from the f150

 

The ride is a little stiffer now, but I was expecting that coming into it. The Duratracs are great so far. I had to do minimal trimming on some plastic up front and still have a little more to go before no rubbing. Does not look like I am going to have to do the cab mount chop though.

You know, it is still debatable. I loved my ford, and the day I sold it I went to a ford dealership to buy another, but I seen the Yota sitting there that had just come in on trade in and got a really good deal so I thought what the hell? why not? Now that I have it looking pretty decent I am starting to like it just as much as my ford.

 

Looks good man! I have almost the exact same stuff! I just purchased a SWB from another member and will be installing everything on redeployment. How do you like those NFABs? Did you do the grille yet?

 

Great lookin' set-up! I'll take that grille off your hands for $75 shipped. Ha-Ha
