Yak Runner - the 'ehnacement'

where'd you get the color match grill? did you just sand and paint it? i'm trying to find one for mine, but cant seem to find one.

 

Do you mean the emblem? It is the stock one dipped by www.Liquid-Innovations.net

The grill is just a black Grillcraft mesh

 

Sub'd for future mods. This looks sick!

 

Truck looks great! Awesome job on the winch mount as well. Thinking of doing the same thing myself on my Taco.

 

Wow! That's sick! Love the clean look of the winch! The shackles were a sick idea and I hope to steal that idea in the future!! I want the satoshi tooooooooo!

I'm jealous....

 

Looks really good man! I love how it's different and it all comes together perfectly.

 

I love how the front end looks with that hidden winch

 

I would like to do the thru bumper clevis mount but without the winch therefore mounting directly to the chassis. What length of clevis would you recommend I need?

 

Looks great. Everything on this truck just works and comes together real well. Nice job!

Thanks guys!

I assume you meant the clevis tang. The ones that I had added are about 8", but as you can see from the photo, they do not reach back to the cross piece that actually bolts to the frame, so I'd say 12" or longer.

You also have to deal with the fact that you will be running them thru the aluminum crush piece which is the actual structure of the bumper (which the winch mount replaces with steel). If you run them below the crush bumper, then you will need a drop bracket to attach them to the frame.

 

Truck looks great!

 

Excellent "enhancement". I can see you thought this out very thoroughly with each mod. Very very clean

 

Holy sh*t, I'm in love with your whole front end/bumper/hidden winch system. I want that! I wonder if I could do the same setup with the factory bumper and an Avid bumper guard/light bar.

 

I may have to win the lotto so I can buy your truck off you. Nice job

 

Thanks!

I would not attempt it with the factory bumper at all. The factory bumper is really just a strip of aluminum channel, designed to be a crush zone. Everything else up there is plastic. With it in place there is nothing solid to bolt a winch to.

If you're talking about adding an Avid guard over the hidden winch mount system, that would be do-able I suspect.

 

Cheers to another Pyrite Mica! Great looking truck

 

Beautifully done sir.

 

thanks for the info on the ucwms stuff!

 

Excellent setup!! I'm gonna add a link to this build on my Sig.. sweet!

 

truck looks amazing. I absolutely LOVE the badges!
