Under1630's '08 Prerunner AC Build

A comparison of the OEM 265/70 16 BFG Rugged Trails and Hankook DynaPro MT 295/75 16's.

 

I smell a new rear end.

 

nice build

 

keep the pics coming! good job man

 

Jon,

You're partially right.

Jon

 

Collin and Supremetaco,

Thanks for the compliments.

 

Truck looks great! Im probably going to get the same tires. I found 285/75/16 for around $750!

 

I got the 295/75 16's for the same price. I got them from East Coast Tires w/ free shipping and no tax. I really love the tires. Very aggressive tread, great looks and surprisingly quiet on the highway. You wont be disappointed.

 

Mods for Friday June 4th. Most wouldn't consider this a mod, but I think it's a very important mod. A windshield sunshade to protect your dash and interior. I got this one from Amazon.com. Perfect fit.



Later I got this delivered be UPS. It's a throttle body spacer by aFe. This is my third mod by aFe this week. First the catback exhaust system, then the CAI and finally the throttle body spacer.



The installation was straight forward and relatively simple. Just make sure you put the bottom, rear bolt into the throttle body first, then install the other bolts.





The combination of all three mods by aFe have given me a tremendous increase in power and fun! I can't believe the sound when you stomp on the throttle. It's so loud that it set off the alarm on my Matrix.

 

Lookin great. Keep up the goods work.

 

I did a couple of simple mods today. First was the installation of Pop 'N Lock tailgate lock. Less than 10 minutes to install and perfect fit.



Next was the "group buy" Weathertech floor mats. Not real excited about the fit, but it'll do.

 

Looks great!

 

What to do? Do I dump $10k into my truck for full LT, or do I buy this:

I drove this today, and it's so fucking sick. Even if I dumped $10k into my truck it could never do what this '94 does. The truck needs lot's of TLC and cannot be legally smogged, but does have a current smog for transfer of title. What do you think?

 

get the 94 and keep ur 08 as a nice ass DD. thrash the '94 as much as you want. parts are cheaper for the 94

 

Wow that sure is a nice suspension setup on that thing. X2 on buying that. You could easily spend ten G's on your rear LT.

Just promise me one day I get a ride in it if you buy it.

 

what didn't you like about the fit of the mats?

 

Actually, now that the mats have had a chance to heat up a bit and sit in the truck where they're supposed to be, the fit is much better. The plastic actually has a little bit of maleability to it.

 

Well, I guess it's time to just about finish up this thread. The reason is that I've done a Major, Major mod:

 

Omg! More pics!

 

x2, that thing looks sick!
