Trigo’s long travel limo build

Just scored a deal on some machined methods and some 37in toyo rts. Kinda wish I would’ve gone 4.88’s now but oh well lol online it says they only weigh like 8 pounds more than the 35in red labels I have now so maybe it won’t be too bad

 

Think I saw those on Selloffroad or tireplug?

 

I’m not sure if it’s on one of those but it’s a local guy I follow who’s parting out his truck after taking a tumble.

 

Are these them?

 

Fuck does that look good! How's the paint?

 

new favorite build jesus

 

Still haven’t gotten around to painting it as we’ve been really busy at work the last few months but I did get a chance to take it out to a local spot yesterday.

Tryina do some wheelies

 

about ready to pull the cab and start swapping the drive train over to the new frame on the new daily / project.



The plan is to do a 3” Fabtech spindle and v6 coils up front and a add a leaf out back to level it out. 31’s and some 16’s that came we’ve had laying around the shop for a few years. We shall see if it stays as simple as that

 

Not much has changed on the truck as I’ve been gathering parts for the 5lug. Other than some cab damage from the bed somehow flexing into the cab and chipping the paint. I took a fairly hard hit the other weekend in otay and did a minor endo which I think did it but I’ve double checked all the bed mounts and all are tight so idk

 

Probably from the frame flexing. Do you have any stiffeners on the rear part of the frame?

 

You boxed frame in the rear?

 

Ive had a frame box kit sitting in my garage for almost 2 years now I probably should have figured it was the frame flexing.

 

Also picked up a few more pieces for the rear

 

Picked up a tool box that my brother pulled off a Kenworth he bought. Starting to plan out my bed setup





Also test fitting a set of 37’s for lulz. Looks good but I’m 90% sure I’m gonna be sticking with 35’s.

 

Finally got around to painting the front fenders. Came out decent for rattle cans I’m gonna try to do the bedsides tomorrow







Also snapped a piece of fender off backing out of my driveway right after mounting them.

 

Ive got a few pieces like that now after the weekend trails!!!

 

You do a clear coat at all? I did the 2K two part, and it's holding up good. Rubbed both bedsides on trees last weekend, didn't lose any paint.

 

That RR sticker though

 

i used the rust oleum clear coat and it seems to be holding up good ! My corners don’t sit right in the fenders so one side rubbed through the paint which is annoying but I also should have done something about it since I knew it was doing it before.

 

Painted the bedsides the other day. Came out decent but painting them outside on a hot day didn’t help and they didn’t come out a good as the front fenders that but they still came out alright.
