PNGO121 OFFROAD BUILD

Did it get a little louder with the exhaust chopped off? How do you like it?

 

Didn't make a noticeable difference on sound or power. I always do this to my truck because it just makes the rear look so much cleaner. Also, since I get rid of the mud flaps the tires kick up all sorts of junk onto it so it eliminates having to clean that part of the truck.

 

I just couldn't resist with how good these wheels look on a DCSB on a superwhite. Hope you don't mind, but I have these bad boys on the way with a delivery on Thursday. Vin's last bronze set until mid-Jan. Being these are an Xmas present for my son since it's his truck that I pay for, it'll be a few weeks before they are installed.

I went back and forth between these and Method NVs and with the rarity an look of SR8s I had to go with these. Methods are a dime a dozen in SoCal and these bronze wheels were made for SuperWhite Tacomas IMO.

By the way, did you have a rear bumper installed or plan too? Rear bumper along with a new skid will be our next upgrades.

 

Don't mind at all. What really sold me on Vin's line up is that they are hub centric to our trucks. Rear bumper I'm not too sure on yet, I need some extra money for that. Between this truck and recently getting engaged, I'm broke. Haha.

I'm most likely going to get the BAMF front skid when I go there to pick up my grille when finished. When I do decide on a rear bumper Ill probably talk to Jerry at BAMF as well so my truck will be all BAMF goods. It'll be a high clearance for sure with bed getting chopped.

That's some awesome gifts your getting for your son! My Pop's boat motor just took a dump so I'm thinking about making a trip out to Fresno and picking up a new boat for him.

 

Damn Phi! I like your style

 

thanks bro!

 

every time I see this truck or the ToyTech Sema one, the little voice in my head says to get rid of my 15' for a 16.......I have to quit clicking this link

 

haha thanks! I have a few more things in process coming, so that might change your mind shortly after.

Just put in some 700lb King Coil Springs on today in replacement of the 600lb the Fox's came with. Also removed my sway bar.

 

that ball joint is quite steep now

 

yeah..but the truck is also still on jack stands.

 

oh ok, good. lol

 

I'm going to drive a few thousand miles to let the suspension settle a bit then make some adjustments. I'll be getting a 85lb front skid plate soon also.

 

Did you get an alignment, or several? How far off was it?

 

My alignment numbers are perfect.
Camber: 0 both sides
Castor: 3.0/3.2
Toe: 0.06 both sides

 

Were they perfect after the lift?

 

Yeah that's my current numbers as my truck sits.

 

First off that's one badass rig! Got a question with those rear shocks and progressive leafs how much lift did you get in the rear?
