My SR5 Build

As it now sits. May, 2015 I picked up my 2015 AC SR5 4x4 in MGM.

 

I purchased new wheels and BFG ATs in 275/70/17. The first stop I made after leaving the dealership was Discount Tire. They rubbed a bit but in the week I was waiting on delivery of my truck I ordered the Toytec 3" lift, Eibach 2.5" coils and 1/2" spacers up front and 1.5" AAL in rear. Working hard on the lift. My taco's first time off road after the lift and tires.

 

I decided I needed sliders and ordered some from Rocky Road. It turned into quite the ordeal. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ers-deffinetley-not-worth-the-trouble.384345/ eventually I ended up going with Demello hybrid bolt ons. I love them and put them thru the ringer. They have held up great. I also bought a used steel plate bumper from TW marketplace.I knew I'd have to do a bed trim but after chopping the bed found out that the bumper wouldn't work with a stock tailgate. Sliders and my useless bed chop mod.

 

I finally went with SOS front and rear steel plate bumpers. I added a Warn M8000s in the front and went high clearance in the back. I got to do some more trimming of my bedsides.

 

Most recently I've added Camburg ball joint UCAs and 5100s. I switched to OME 886 coils and ditched the 1/2 spacers. I've added after market fogs, an onboard Viair compressor, diff breather mod, yellow wire mod and a couple of bright bed lights.

 

I'm in. Looking good!

 

NICE rig man!

 

Thanks! liking yours as well.

 

I'm planning on skids and a snorkel. I'm not sure which will be next tho. Being in AZ rocks and dust are both a huge hazzard. I'm leaning toward snorkel since the weather is about to start getting extra dry/dusty.

 

What setting are your 5100's at with Eibachs? How much did the new setup change your lift?

 

I started out with the eibachs 2.5" coil and 1/2" spacer. I ditched the spacer, kept the lift springs and added billies. I set them at1.75, the third setting. It feels softer up front but only added 1". This was after losing height from the weight of the bumper. My total amount of lift is about 2.5. My front is 22" hub to fender.

 

Looks good man! Thanks

 

Got my snorkel on. I really like that it fits the body lines. I just orders full skids from Eddy at SOS. To hold up the extra weight I'm getting some OME 886 coils. I'm kinda worried about having a bro-lean so I might go with a shackle flip at the same time. That's something I'd planned to do anyway.

Nice truck! I used to live in Tucson for about 8 years. Still have family down there.

 

Cool, there's some awesome places to wheel down here. I've got family in Missoula and Idaho.

 

Lets get some pics of that bed rack you have your RTT on.

Your RTT sits below the roof line of the cab, this is the idea I had if I upgraded to RTT.

Have any pics of the rack with out anything on it?

 

It's a couple of bed bars. They're pretty simple but effective. I got them from a local company, avid offroad, about $225 powder coated. I'll try and get pics the next time I take the tent off.

 

Here's what were sitting like now.

 

Is that first picture from Chiva Falls?

 

Yup!
