REDTRD's Build

Spent all day giving my old satoshi grill a face lift. New paint new mesh and touched up the emblem. Thanks for the mesh @HomerTaco

 

And a little homertaco support!

 

Love it.

 

Love the grill, did you paint it yourself?

 

Yeah sure did

 

That makes it even better man. I just painted my wheels and was about to tackle my grill too, i got the dupli color perfect match red pearl and have some self etching primer left over. Any advice on how to make it turn out as good as yours?

 

I did a lot of sanding maybe 3-4coatsof primer almost a whole can of paint and a lot of clear coat. The last I did it the clear didn't last long and starting chipping from bugs etc... So I went heavier on everything (more coats) took my time and didn't rush it.

 

Thanks man, im gonna get started on it tonight

 

New BFG KO2 tires and out with the old dick cepek wheels finally.

 

noooooooo

You need some chevy leaf springs in the rear too

Truck is looking good man, how ya been!

 

Doing good man just staying busy with work right now. How you been?

Yeah the rear of the truck is about to get a butt lift. Ever since I put the leer shell in it's been hurting, think about getting AAL and a set of the firestone air ride adjustable bags to bring it up or down anytime I need when hauling.

How's the snorkel working out? It's been on my list ever since I saw you did it.

 

Fixing to graduate(wow that sounds funny) college... I find out wednesday where in the US im going, it's between AZ,SC,and FL but im hoping for AZ so we'll see how that goes.

For the rear, that doesnt sound too bad, for what you're doing that prob will be the best course of action. My HC bumper should be in by January and if the chevy springs dont handle it well, well.. fuck it lol

The snorkel is dank I got 14.5 mpg with 33's going home and back 300miles round trip at hwy speeds so idk if thats the tires or the snorkel haha. It wont fit perfect but for the price ~150$ no one gives a shit and it works just like the 500$ snorkels from the "USA" lol.

I say pull the trigger i'd be glad to help if you need it.

 

Only part that I am iffy on is that giant hole cut in the front fender, shit other than that I would have already done it by now lol. Gratz on the graduation also, I think I just got mine paid off this past year lol

 

haha, i just drank a beer and that shit was easy as pie after that!

Luckily the army has paid for all my school so all i owe loan wise is like 4.5K from freshman year.

 

Well got my Eibach 620lb coils & wheelers 3 leaf in finally. Hopefully in the next bit get everything installed but still debating on adding UCA's right now.

 

Finally yesterday got everything above installed and aligned. Pretty happy with the outcome.

 

Did you leave in the overload leaf with the Wheelers 3-leaf AAL? Nice truck!

 

Yeah I did and thanks man.

 

Here's what replaced the Taco this past weekend. Not much was parted out I got some taillights and stock bumper but nothing crazy like retros or wheels/tires, suspension etc.

But this is gonna be hella fun doing upgrades with!
