Looks awesome! Which OME lift did you choose? Do you like the ride so far? I don’t have a full OME lift, only their 2895E springs in the rear, but with the Icon 2.0 shocks the ride is fantastic. I have Taco Bilsteins and springs in the front, so I’m sitting a bit lower than yours. I love the overall ride, but was considering doing a full OME, or Dobinson setup at some point just to get a bit more height, mainly in front.

Thanks I went with the medium OME kit, 885 fronts and 2895 rears. So far ride is much improved over the worn out stock suspension. Way less floating feeling over bumps and practically no nose dive when braking and a lot less body roll as well. Ride is definitely stiff but responsive

Addressed one of the few WTF items on 4th Gens. Because having the A/C drain tube drip water straight onto frames that are often rusting right out from under the truck makes perfect sense, right?

Before


Gear (+ a couple of zip ties)


After - from above


From below


Costs less than $5.

@JONBOY345 , thanks again for offering the fuel line. Found some tubing in the garage.

It's nearly finished!

I finished the last steps on my Coastal Off-Road Swing out rear bumper today. I can honestly understand why companies charge as much as they do for a pre-built bumper. They are a lot of work! Having said that, I am so beyond thrilled to be nearly finished. It's all primed, just waiting til tomorrow to throw the paint on!

I would have finished it much faster, but I live in the desert and my garage gets HOT! So I was relegated to working super early, and late into the evening. Problem is, my neighbors will hate me if I'm running an angle grinder at 11 PM lol. Pretty sure I blinded a few people driving by in golf carts while I was welding. I felt pretty cool though!

Only thing I've really got to do other than paint it, is figure out where to mount my license plate. Then run a new light to it, should be pretty painless though!

Replaced my battery. Yesterday when I got in my truck to go to work I turned the key and nothing happened, tried again and it fired right up. Same thing happened after work so decided it was time for a new battery sine the old one was over 4 years old.

Holy crap that's an awesome idea. Gonna do it tonight. Been on a rust prevention kick lately.

Nice pic! You should take the road over to Flagpole Knob nextdoor. Union Spring and Dunkle Hollow are both fun little trails. And also hit me up if you're ever interested in wheeling! I live in Harrisonburg.

She's finished!

Laid down two layers of black enamel today. It feels incredibly good to be finished, and to also know I welded this beast together myself! Thanks again to Brandon at Coastal-Off Road for making one hell of a bumper kit. This was literally the first thing I've ever welded in my life. Heck, this was the first time I've ground and cut metal in my life.

I need to figure out the best type of lug nuts or nuts to secure my spare. The ones I got at auto zone had threads made of butter, and just didn't leave me feeling confident. Does anyone have any suggestions? They are standard M12 x1.5 45mm. Mounting a standard 16" Toyota rim for now with a 265/70/16 Bridgestone Dueler. Still need to order matching FN FX Pro and the appropriate tire.

This is the only pic I could really snap right now. The paint is only a few hours old, and I didn't want to risk driving it through some water or getting something on there.

Use whatever lug nuts you use on the rest of your truck, so they match and you have a couple spares you can steal from the rear tire in an emergency.

Did you MIG or TIG? Also did you grind off the welds or decide to showcase your work after paint?


Have you done a scratch test on your paint? I was quoted at $300 for a powdercoat for the Coastal Offroad's front bumper.

I bought a flux core mig welder from Amazon, since I didn't want to mess with any gas tanks. Worked out great, just a little messy. I ground down many of the welds, but I left some where I had issue getting at it good with the angle grinder.
