*RIP* Bijan's #EXPOASF Long Travel Build

New parts incoming!

-Bilstein B110 Rear Shocks. Reason for this is that I was about to pull the trigger on a full BAMF relocation kit with resi’s and all the goodies, but I just couldn’t see myself wheeling my truck to the point I needed to use 14” shocks. These Bilsteins have 27” extended, which is plenty for what I do.
-Either Kings or Icon Extended Shocks with Resi’s. Making the decision very soon. Only one not ordered
-Front and Rear extended stainless brake lines
-Super Bump Bumpstops front and rear
-U-Bolt Flip kit

Should be enough stuff for now. Going to let my wallet take a LONG vacation after this.

 

My bilstein rears do pretty good for what they are

 

New bumper in the works. Alec at TrueNorthFabrication is the one making it. Pretty stoked on how it looks...Should be here in a month or two!

 

Found a used Frontrunner roof rack and had to buy it as it was just over $400! Just laid it on top of the roof to snap the photos. One heavy son of a b to carry solo.

Going to make a wind deflector for the front of it.

 

Frontrunner rack on and new (to me) coil overs were bought! Love these puppies. Rear end also got changed to Bilstein B110, U-Bolt Flip Kit, Superbumps front and rear, and new brake lines are all put in.

 

Man that’s a killer deal. Are they 2nd hand look in great shape.

 

They were on a 6” lifted mall crawler. Had to drive 500+ miles round trip to get them, but it was worth it!

 

These 5100’s and OME 886’s are coming out tomorrow...Anyone want to buy them? I’m pretty fair with my pricing (;

 

Awesome thread! I just graduated college but got a Tacoma a few years ago, and have been modifying it with quality 2nd hand/DIY parts that I got for good deals like you. Hope you find more deals! It take longer to build your truck, but I love finding deals. I need to get some sliders next.

 

Back from a trip to Big Sur and Morro Bay! My truck is making some of the weirdest sounds I have ever heard from an automobile. No more offroading really until it takes a trip to a mechanic. I would try and change things out myself, but for once I'm going to have a real shop do the work. Until then, here are some pictures from my trip!

 

Nothing new with the truck /: Maybe a new camper shell on Monday but other then that, she’s done for a while. Pretty happy with her right now!

 

Nice looking build man! Let me know if you need an extra hand, I'm in Irvine so its only a few minute drive.

 

Thanks man!

 

Well, I've kinda reached the end of my build with it. I'm so busy with school and work that I have next to no time or money to keep putting into the truck.

The only thing I'm buying is the new front bumper which is almost ready. Truck runs well, service was done, and I still enjoy driving it! Downsizing tires next time too. I don't need these 285's and the weight that comes with them.

Here's a pic of how she sits now and will continue to sit.

 

New racks installed and tent is up on it!

 

New bumper is being freighted to me, then off to powdercoat! Or maybe I'll just spray paint it, lol.

 

Downsized shoes. Fully loaded up and ready to camp!

 

And the fires are burning here! Smokey as heck.

 

Where exactly are you?

 

That was on top of Santiago Peak. Here’s a pic I took today on the 91...
