Zach's 2013 DCSB Build

Love the set up!

 

Are you running spacers with your steelies? I'm going back to stock 16's with 3 inch lift and wondering if I needed them. I do have aftermarket ucas.

 

Depends on the 33's you are planning to run.

I am not right now. My tires are 255-85-16s though (really narrow) I have a set of 285 75 16s that I will be putting on pretty soon and I am guessing I will need spacers because they are wider. Xoverland has the only tacoma I know of that is running 285's without spacers on a stock wheel. Even then they have minor rubbing on the uca and they have the TRD offroad wheels. The steel wheels have any less backspacing from what I can see.

 

Ok thanks I think the factory TRD wheels and tires are 265's I'll run these for awhile before getting new ones I have 18's on 275/65/18 and want to go to 17's.

 

Yeah the 265's and 255's width tires will be fine on stock 16" or 17" wheels. The 285 width tires are where you will start to need spacers/trimming.

 

Sounds good thanks

 

Will these racks fit on a 15' DCSB off road even though I don't have the factory rails on my truck? This question may have been asked already but I didn't see it.
Thanks, Andrew

 

Andrew,

They will indeed fit on the 2015's. The racks bolt to the factory mounting points under the weather stripping on the roof so no need for the factory rails.

 

Ok thanks I'll be ordering one soon!

 

sweet looking forward to it.

 

Any new updates?

 

A few. This thread has been neglected a bit but I should have some pics up soon.

 

Sounds good!

Thanks, its coming along! This spring and summer it is going to see a lot of trail time!

 

where did u get the wire for ur fuse panel set p, ive been searching everywhere for mine haha

 

The 14 gauge for my accessories I got from Amazon. 100' spools. The heavy stuff was left over from when I installed my national luna power pack. The power pack comes with like 24' cables I only used 16' or so and had some left for a few other projects. This was the last bit of it.

You could go buy a decent set of jumper cables and cut them up into pieces to do it too. Just wake sure they are the right gauge for what you want.

 

Swapped out the stock fog lights for some LED pods I used to have on CBI ditch light brackets. As much as the CBI brackets are a great product I never really saw a benefit from the lights in that location. They aways seemed to glare off the hood more than add to the light output in front of and to the sides of the vehicle. And then there was the issue of the stock antenna. The lights would glare off that too which was annoying. So I picked up some of the h11 extensions from Amazon.

Extensions I used

They aren't the best and were a little looser than I would like but work fine. I just added some electrical tape and zip ties to make sure they didn't come apart.

Here are some pictures of the basic steps.

Expose the wires from the LED pods you want to use.



Cut the extensions in half (you will want the female end)



Use some splice connectors and shrink tube to connect them



Finished product



Install on the truck (In my case they mounted perfectly to the CBI Moab 2.0 front bumper with no Modifications
